Description
A vivid and unflinching account of life on a remote Irish island, as the 19th century draws to a close. Tomás Ó Crohan's autobiography, first published in 1929, offers an uncompromising glimpse into the harsh realities of human experience. This translation, based on Professor Seán Ó Coileáin's definitive edition from 2002, brings together previously omitted passages and provides a more complete picture of life on the Blaskets. Written by a fisherman who taught himself to read and write in his native tongue, The Islander is a raw and unvarnished portrayal of a challenging landscape. With its unaffected and vivid language, this book conveys the unforgiving nature of human experience on the island, where life is shaped by the rugged environment.
