Description

Widely regarded as one of the greatest Irish-language novels of the 20th century, An Béal Bocht is a satirical masterpiece by Myles na gCopaleen. This humorous novel tells the story of the people of Corca Dorcha, who attempt to impress Irish-language enthusiasts with their pretensions to English proficiency. Published in 2018, the book is a clever corrective against the tendency to take things too seriously, satirising the works of Tomás Ó Criomhthain and others. Its unique blend of wit and satire has made it a beloved and enduring work of Irish literature. With its engaging narrative and clever observations, An Béal Bocht is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Irish culture and language.
