Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Plagued by his anarchic mother, tormented by his sister, abused by his brain-damaged brother, and generally driven to despair by everyone, Frankie Griffin, the Last of the High Kings of Tara, is going to embark on a coming-of-age story with a difference. Set during the summer of punk in Howth, a small fishing town in North Country Dublin, the riotously funny The Last of the High Kings tells Frankie's story as he tries to deal with his eccentric family and come to terms with his life. The Last of the High Kings was made into a Hollywood movie starring Gabriel Byrne, Jared Leto, Stephen Rea and Christina Ricci in 1996. First published in 1991, New Island's Modern Irish Classics series brings this hilarious novel to a new generation of readers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR008013535

Condition: Gut. XXXI, 348 S. / p., Abb. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar / a good and clean copy -- For the first thousand years of its history, Ireland was shaped by its monasteries and its wars. The artistic flourishing, of the monasteries has received a good deal of attention, but the violent and varied wars have in recent years gone unremembered. In Wars of the Irish Kings, David Willis McCullough has turned back to the earliest accounts of these struggles to present a rich tapestry of Ireland's fight for its identity. -- Beginning with the legends of ancient wars and warriors, moving through the time when history and storytelling were not separate crafts, into a time when history was as much propaganda as fact, Wars of the Irish Kings tells of tribal battles, foreign invasions, Viking raids, family feuds, wars between rival Irish kingdoms, and wars of rebellion against the English. -- The collection is peopled with familiar names: Cuchulain, Finn MacCool, Brian Boru, Mad King Sweeney, Strongbow, Edward and Robert Bruce, Queen Elizabeth and Lord Essex, Hugh O'Donnell, Hugh O'Neill. -- Battles formed the legends and history of the land: the Da Dannan meet the Fir Bolgs near Sligo, Brian Boru faces the Vikings at Clontarf in Dublin Bay, high king Rory O'Connor confronts the English invaders near Waterford, O'Briens battle the English ( and other O'Briens ) at Dysert O'Dea near Limerick, guns are carried for the first time in battle at Knockdoe near Galway, the Bruces from Scotland and their Irish allies overwhelm the English at Connor in Ulster, Hugh O'Neill ambushes General Bagenal near Armagh. The book ends near Cork in 1601 when the English defeat O'Neill and his Spanish allies at Kinsale. -- Common people as well as kings appear in these pages. A foot soldier in the early days of gun powder accidentally sets off a disastrous explosion; a harper's disembodied head is sent by error to the king of England who displays it as the king of Ireland's; a Welsh camp follower named Alice is given the job of executing Irish captives during the English invasion. -- The texts for these - and many more - stories range from ancient manuscripts telling of mythical battles to a seventeenthcentury siege diary. There are excerpts from such Irish literary masterpieces as The Cattle Raid of Cooley ( The Tain ) , selections from the monumental Annals of the Four Masters, passages from Gerald of Wales's account of the English conquest in the twelfth century, pages from an Icelandic saga, even a blistering letter from Queen Elizabeth to her inept commander in Ireland ( "You do but piece up a hollow peace ." ) . -- The result is a surprisingly immediate portrait of an all-but-forgotten time that forged the Ireland to come.
