Saint Patrick: Ireland's Patron Saint

Автор: George Otto Simms Издательство: O'Brien Press, 2014 |
PDF, 104 страницы, 3.12 МБ
|
This is the extraordinary true story of Patrick, a humble man who made an incredible journey from slave to saint. Captured at the age of sixteen and forced into slavery in Ireland, this courageous and resourceful young boy overcame all hardship to fulfil his calling: to bring the people of Ireland into the light of God's word. George Otto Simms presents the real Patrick, not the Patrick of myth and legend but the Patrick of the Confessions. In his own words he was a sinner, but he was a brave individual, a sensitive seer, a persuasive orator, a traveller, a noble spirit and a true holy man.

The IRA
|
O'Brien Press
|
Автор: O'Brien Brendan Издательство: O'Brien Press, 2007 |
PDF, 200 страниц, 6.00 МБ
|
New edition of this accessible, clearly-written account of the IRA from its beginnings to today. It covers the origins and history of the organisation, its aims, the political and military thinking which has driven its activities, and the major personalities who have shaped the direction of the movement down through the years. The relationship with the Irish and British governments is examined, as well as the effects of the major bombing campaigns and the 1981 hunger strikes. It also explains the radical shift in thinking which led to the IRA seeking a political way towards the goal of Irish unity rather than pursuing the entrenched 'Brits Out' policy at the point of a gun. The background to the IRA ceasefire, and the many factors which contributed to its ending are looked at, as well as the prospects for a lasting peace in one of the world's most troubled arenas. This is intended as an easy-to-read overview of the IRA and the Northern situation, accessible to both the tourist and the interested general reader. This new edition has been fully updated for 2007.

Ulysses

O'Brien Press

Автор: Joyce James Издательство: O'Brien Press, 2013 |
PDF, 1056 страниц, 31.68 МБ
|
The unique Dublin Illustrated Edition, endorsed by The James Joyce Centre, meticulously recreates the 1922 text. Ulysses chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose-full of puns, parodies, and allusions, as well as its rich characterisations and broad humour, made the book a highly regarded novel in the Modernist pantheon. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
