Meer over het boek

Exploring Ireland before the Great Famine, the narrative traverses key locations such as Dundalk, Newry, Belfast, and the Antrim Coast, highlighting the contrast between the orderly County Down and the struggles of rural areas. The author immerses himself in Gaelic culture through storytelling and music, while also documenting the rise of enterprise in urban centers. His observations on Rathlin Island and the Giant's Causeway reflect a blend of folklore and scientific inquiry, enriched by footnotes and an index in this edition.
