Travels in Wicklow,West Kerry and Connemara

J.M. Synge was a tireless traveller who, while celebrating the beauties of the Irish landscape, never flinched from describing the harsh, unromantic reality of rural life. Jack B. Yeats`s evocative drawings were intended to accompany these accounts of Synge`s travels, and they are now published together again for the first time in 100 years.Capturing the embers of a dying culture, the great playwright walks, drinks and talks with a rich assortment of country people, offering unforgettable descriptions of the Puck Fair at Killorglin and horse-racing on the strand near Dingle, of remote cottages and isolated fishing villages.Synge`s wandering spirit, as well as the farmers and tinkers, weavers and boat-builders he befriended, live on in these pages, which cannot fail to delight anyone who loves Ireland and her literature.This new edition now also includes a commemorative essay by Synge`s friend and travelling companion, Jack B. Yeats.
