With every turn of the page, the natural beauty and tumultuous, fascinating history of Ireland unfolds. This enthralling book takes the reader on a journey through a fabled green country which is beloved throughout the world.
It paints a vivid picture of Ireland`s often turbulent past, explaining how many of the perceptions and views of today were shaped by the events of yesteryear, some bloody, some joyful, but all leaving their mark.
Ireland is a land of contrast, a land of dark brooding mountains and sun — kissed, white — san shores; a land of ruined abbeys and elegant Georgian architecture; a land of tiny cottages and mighty castles. But above all, Ireland is home to its people whose reputation for genuine welcoming warmth, genial wit and engaging sense of humor is justly deserved.
With its informed, concise text and often breathtaking illustrations, Ireland evokes the spirit and feel of a country which, while small in geographical terms, has spread its influence far and wide.
