Ireland A Traveler's Literary Companion

This engaging collection of short stories captures the qualities of Ireland that have made it one of the top travel destinations: its blend of picturesque villages and bustling modern cities, its people known for their warmth, charm, stoicism, and individuality, its history, and of course its rich literary tradition. Organized geographically- much like a travel guide through the Emerald Isle's literary landscape-these varied tales by some of the world's most renowned writers give the reader an immediate feel for the country's enduring past and exciting present. Ireland includes well-known literary giants such as James Joyce and Edna O'Brien, and introduces lesser-known writers to many American readers.
