Description

The Book of the Taking of Ireland is a collection of poems and prose narratives in the Irish language, compiled to tell the story of Ireland and the Irish from the creation of the world to the Middle Ages. The earliest version of this work was written by an anonymous author in the 11th century, and it recounts the mythical taking of Ireland by the Milesians, who then assumed the kingship over the Tuatha De Danann. This collection provides a unique insight into Ireland's rich history and mythology, and its language and style offer a fascinating glimpse into the country's cultural heritage. With its origins dating back to the 11th century, Lebor Gabála Érenn is a rare and valuable historical document that continues to appeal to readers to this day. With 72 pages of poetry and prose, this paperback edition is a compact and accessible introduction to Ireland's complex and fascinating history.
