Items related to The Devil is an Irishman
Synopsis
A collection of stories recounting Irish encounters with the Devil. Take a night-rambler (Jack Murt in `Jack o'the Lantern' ); a fisherman (Seán O Duinn); a gambler (Martin the Cards in `The Two-Rooted Briar' ) or a plain ordinary farmer (Larry in `Larry and the Devil' ). There are certain things no one should do, certain conventions that must be obeyed, such as not fishing on Good Friday or talking to spectral figures in graveyards during the dead hours of the night. But sadly, common sense does not always rule. The only problem is that when the cause of trouble is the Devil, the consequences for the luckless victim are very serious indeed - unless he has the presence of mind to beat the Evil One.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A collection of stories recounting Irish encounters with the Devil.'Don't mind the light, Martin. There'll be plenty o' that where you're going - an' heat to go with it.' If the Devil is no Irishman, he surely deserves to be, because from time immemorial he has frequented the land of Ireland, held constant and intimate commerce with the people of Ireland and shown every sign of attachment to both the country and its population. If this does not entitle him to at least honorary Irish citizenship there is little in the way of justice in this world - or the next. An odd fact, but one not entirely to be wondered at, is that Devil stories far outnumber tales about his opposite number - God - in Irish tradition. Can it be that we Irish are in some fallen way more comfortable with the infernal than with the celestial. Seller Inventory # 9781856356091
