Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Invincible Irish One day, early in February, in the winter garden of the Grand Hotel in Paris, I ran across an American business man who had come to Europe after the armistice to see for himself what were the possibilities for American trade.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish National Invincibles and Their Times Irish friends in the United States urged the writer to extend the scope of his work to some of the salient features of the Party of Action in the Sixties. In sending into the world a book of this nature, the writer is Well aware he runs counter to the preconceived opinions of many people; and expects to meet the usual opposition which prejudiced convictions will always array against the daring spirit who ventures to combat settled forms of thought. It was so with Galileo and the spherical shape of our earth it was so with Columbus and his belief in a Western World. If it has been so with these immortal leaders in the world of thought, how much more with the Irish Nationalist, who would try to draw his country's cause from the mass of misconception and falsehood that is struggling to smother it!

Download or read book Irish Classics written by Declan Kiberd and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of the tenacious life of the enduring Irish classics, this book by one of Irish writing's most eloquent readers offers a brilliant and accessible survey of the greatest works since 1600 in Gaelic and English, which together have shaped one of the world's most original literary cultures. In the course of his discussion of the great seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Gaelic poems of dispossession, and of later work in that language that refuses to die, Declan Kiberd provides vivid and idiomatic translations that bring the Irish texts alive for the English-speaking reader. Extending from the Irish poets who confronted modernity as a cataclysm, and who responded by using traditional forms in novel and radical ways, to the great modern practitioners of such paradoxically conservative and revolutionary writing, Kiberd's work embraces three sorts of Irish classics: those of awesome beauty and internal rigor, such as works by the Gaelic bards, Yeats, Synge, Beckett, and Joyce; those that generate a myth so powerful as to obscure the individual writer and unleash an almost superhuman force, such as the Cuchulain story, the lament for Art O'Laoghaire, and even Dracula; and those whose power exerts a palpable influence on the course of human action, such as Swift's Drapier's Letters, the speeches of Edmund Burke, or the autobiography of Wolfe Tone. The book closes with a moving and daring coda on the Anglo-Irish agreement, claiming that the seeds of such a settlement were sown in the works of Irish literature. A delight to read throughout, Irish Classics is a fitting tribute to the works it reads so well and inspires us to read, and read again.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Faith in America: Recollections of a Missionary I willingly accept the dedication of a study, the subject and object of which are equally clear to us both. People, like individuals, have each a vocation to follow and a mission to fulfil. The mission of the Irish people, a noble and holy mission among all others, is that of propagating and maintaining the Catholic faith. You show by incontestable facts this voca tion of the Irish people, and the manner in which they fulfil their mission in the United States, a country which particularly interests us; but history tells that in every missionary country, as in the United States, the Irish with invincible energy and untiring persever ance, have proved themselves the firm sup porters and propagators of the Catholic faith. You justly recall how dear to me is that por tion of my flock which belongs to the Irish nation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

But I leave him to be corrected by the torment of his own mind, and the contempt of his former friends, who, justly sensible of his ungenerous proceedings, his invincible malice, and his notorious want of capacity, have banished him their acquaintance, as an infamous renegado and wicked libeller upon the glory and honour of his native country.

Download or read book Charles O malley the Irish Dragon Classic Reprint written by Charles Lever and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles O'malley, the Irish Dragon The success of Harry Lorrequer was the reason for writing Charles O'Malley. That I myself was in nowise prepared for the favor the public bestowed on my first attempt is easily enough understood. The ease with which I strung my stories together - and in reality the Confessions of Harry Lorrequer are little other than a note-book of absurd and laughable incidents - led me to believe that I could draw on this vein of composition without any limit whatever. I felt, or thought I felt, an inexhaustible store of fun and buoyancy within me, and I began to have a misty, half-confused impression that Englishmen generally labored under a sad-colored temperament, took depressing views of life, and were proportionately grateful to any one who would rally them, even passingly, out of their despondency, and give them a laugh without much trouble for going in search of it. When I set to work to write Charles O'Malley, I was, as I have ever been, very low with fortune, and the success of a new venture was pretty much as eventful to me as the turn of the right color at rouge et noir. At the same time I had then an amount of spring in my temperament, and a power of enjoying life, which I can honestly say I never found surpassed. The world had for me all the interest of an admirable comedy, in which the part allotted myself, if not a high or a foreground one, was eminently suited to my taste, and brought me, besides, sufficiently often on the stage to enable me to follow all the fortunes of the piece. Brussels, where I was then living, was adorned at the period by a most agreeable English society. Some leaders of the fashionable world of London had come there to refit and recruit, both in body and estate. There were several pleasant and a great number of pretty people among them; and, so far as I could judge, the fashionable dramas of Belgrave Square and its vicinity were being performed in the Rue Royale and the Boulevard de Waterloo with very considerable success.

Download or read book Legendary Heroes of Ireland Classic Reprint written by HAROLD F. HUGHES and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legendary Heroes of Ireland The early Celts have little literature other than these stories, which have been handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Most of the tales in this book have been taken from the Ossianic Saga. Whether Finn belongs to history or mythology detracts no jot from the absorbing inter est Of his exploits. I have tried to make the story of Finn something of a connected narrative. To do this I have taken incidents from various versions; I have left out much unsuitable to children, and I have changed some inci dents to conform to the modern standards Of morals. The chronology of arrangement is my own, but I have tried to preserve the spirit of the originals. No collection Of Irish folk stories could be brought out were it not for the work Of those many scholars who have spent years in collecting and translating the tales of the Celtic race. To our American lin guist, Jeremiah Curtin, and to the Irish scholars Sir Douglas Hyde, Dr. Joyce, Eleanor Hull, Lady Gregory, T. W. Rolleston and others, my thanks are due. Their Splendid research work has made pos sible such a volume as this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Intellectuals written by Canon Sheehan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Intellectuals: An Experiment in Irish Club-Life This volume is an attempt to describe a possibility which the author hopes lies latent in the future that is before his country; when, under the influences of wider and more rational systems of education, the barriers of racial and sectarian prejudices may be broken down, and the higher humanities accepted as an integral portion of social and domestic life. It should be superfluous to say that, where so many diflerent and even contradictory opinions on all sub jects are so freely expressed, it would be quite illogical to identify the author with any class of sentiments. He has endeavoured to make his characters speak and act in con formity with what may be regarded as their preconceived notions on the difierent subjects discussed, holding aloof from any partisanship, and seeking only proportion and con gruity in the action and conversations that are recorded. If it will help to show that there are really no invincible antag onisms amongst the peoples who make up the commonwealth of Ireland, no mutual repugnances that may not be removed by freer and kindlier intercourse with each other, he will be sufficiently rewarded.

Download or read book The Immortal Irishman written by Timothy Egan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the New York Times bestseller The Immortal Irishman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Timothy Egan illuminates the dawn of the great Irish American story, with all its twists and triumphs, through the life of one heroic man. A dashing young orator during the Great Hunger of the 1840s, Thomas Francis Meagher led a failed uprising against British rule, for which he was banished to a Tasmanian prison colony for life. But two years later he was “back from the dead” and in New York, instantly the most famous Irishman in America. Meagher’s rebirth included his leading the newly formed Irish Brigade in many of the fiercest battles of the Civil War. Afterward, he tried to build a new Ireland in the wild west of Montana — a quixotic adventure that ended in the great mystery of his disappearance, which Egan resolves convincingly at last. “This is marvelous stuff. Thomas F. Meagher strides onto Egan's beautifully wrought pages just as he lived — powerfully larger than life. A fascinating account of an extraordinary life.”—Daniel James Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Facing the Mountain
