Download or read book A Brief History of Ireland written by Gary J Byrnes and published by Gary J Byrnes. This book was released on 2023-03-22 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no real story of Ireland, only the story of the rise and fall of the largest empire in the history of the world - the British Empire - and Ireland's small part in all that. A Brief History of Ireland is a book that, at first glance, might appear to be a chronicle of a nation's rise and fall, its struggles and triumphs, and its unique culture and traditions. But, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there is no singular story of Ireland to tell. Instead, what we have is a story of conquest and colonisation, resistance and rebellion, identity and displacement. And at the heart of this story is not Ireland itself, but its relationship with the British Empire. For centuries, Ireland has been shaped by its proximity to its larger neighbour to the east. From the earliest invasions by the Normans in the 12th century, to the Tudor conquests of the 16th century, to the brutalities of the Great Famine in the 19th century, Ireland's history has been marked by the presence and influence of the British Empire. And yet, despite this overwhelming influence, Ireland has never been a mere footnote in the story of the British Empire. Its struggles for independence, its cultural contributions, its unique identity and voice, have all left indelible marks on the history of the British Isles and beyond. To understand the story of the British Empire, one must understand Ireland's role in it - both as a subjugated nation and as a force for change. In A Brief History of Ireland, we will explore this complex and nuanced relationship, tracing the highs and lows of Ireland's history from its earliest days to the present. We will examine the impact of British colonialism on Irish society, culture, and politics, and we will delve into the struggles of Irish independence movements, from the United Irishmen to Sinn Fein. We will also explore Ireland's contributions to the world of literature, music, and art, and we will look at how Irish identity has been shaped and transformed by centuries of conflict and displacement. At the heart of this story is a recognition that there is no singular history of Ireland, but rather a web of interwoven narratives that must be untangled and examined in order to gain a true understanding of this complex and fascinating nation. And, as we will see, these narratives are not just a part of Ireland's past, but continue to shape its present and future.

Download or read book How the Irish Saved Civilization written by Thomas Cahill and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A book in the best tradition of popular history—the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. • The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift! Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars"—and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost—they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.
