This lively anthology will be enjoyed by all and will be cherished by those with an interest in Irish literature, those in the field of Irish Studies and those with an interest in Translation Studies. It is a good illustration of the vibrancy of Irish-language writing today and demonstrates, in Declan Kiberd's words, 'that the example of Kafka has been as fully assimilated as that of Leabhar Sheain Ui Chonaill.'Short stories, IrishTranslations into EnglishIrelandSocial life and customsFictionShort stories, Irish891.6/230108043Conghaile Micheál Ó1697122Kiberd Declan166206Reaney Pádraic1697123Hofsteenge Johan1697124MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826874103321Fourfront4077590UNINA
