Virtually unknown before this century, it is now famous throughout the world as the source of a rich and unique flowering of literature, a\u003cbr\u003etradition as old as the Gaelic language itself. Now again available, these seven volumes--all translated from the original Gaelic--offer engaging accounts of a now-vanished lifestyle, a group of stories that will charm readers of Irish literature, those moved by a nostagia for \"simpler times,\" and\u003cbr\u003eanyone who enjoys a good tale well told. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published in 1928, this was the first book to come out of the Blasket Islands. In these pages from his diary, O'Crohan jotted down snatches of conversation, anecdotes, descriptions of the landscape and the sea. These unadorned, yet vivid sketches capture and preserve the essence of a\u003cbr\u003eway of life which was rapidly receding into the past even as he wrote.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 7.64 x 4.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 23, 1986\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724633051199,"sku":"9780192819093","price":43.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/b53f95b4170e5280c3351dc39cb86560_80bea3d0-0afc-4fc9-b1c6-c7058ef30ecb.webp?v=1765103353","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/island-cross-talk-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
