Having visited Ireland regularly during the 1930s, Ludwig Wittgenstein resigned his Cambridge philosophy professorship in 1947 and moved there, living in a fishing village on the Atlantic coast and hotels in Dublin and the Wicklow Mountains. Although Wittgenstein spent some time out of the country, Ireland was effectively his base for three very productive years during which he worked on what would become one of his key books, the posthumously published Philosophical Investigations .Wittgenstein in Ireland represents the first sustained account of Wittgenstein's time in Ireland, placing it in its historical context. Wall pays a good deal of attention to the representation of the Irish landscape in which the Austrian philosopher found himself able to work; a large part of his writings were produced in the bleak landscapes of Ireland and Norway.

Walls Ars poetica ist das Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Arbeit, die eine Brücke zwischen Bild und Sprache schlägt. Der Autor bewegt sich zwischen zarter Lyrik und scharfer Ironie, nutzt Wortspiele und Perspektivwechsel, um die Texte dynamisch zu gestalten. Ein Spiel mit Erinnerungen und Zukunft in einem vorläufigen Konstrukt.

Eleftheria – griechisch Freiheit oder als weiblicher Vorname die Freie: So nennt der oberösterreichische Schriftsteller und bildende Künstler Richard Wall seine jüngste Sammlung von Haiku und Renga, entstanden während und nach Wanderungen durch eine seiner Lieblingslandschaften, der Insel Kreta. Dass dabei keine Postkartenidyllen entstanden sind, verdankt sich dem wachen politischen Geist des Autors, der genau hinsieht, Veränderungen bei Land und Leuten wahrnimmt und mit sparsamstem Wortmaterial ein Maximum an Beobachtung und Reflexion erreicht. Dazu kommen Zeichnungen, die mit ihrem zarten Strich – ganz im Sinne der japanischen Malerdichter – viel Freiraum lassen für das Vervollständigen und Weiterdenken des Gesehenen. Nicht nur für Haiku-Liebhaber ein Lese- und Schaugenuss! mein gesicht, das bin nicht ich, oben im karst, beim wacholder vielleicht in einer leere die sich nährt von wind und licht: da leb ich vielleicht LYRIK
