The Aran Islands, By John M. Synge

'Go to the Aran Islands. Live there as if you were one of the people themselves, express a life that has never found expression.' J.M. Synge did exactly as W.B. Yeats suggested and, revisiting these harsh yet beautiful specks of land off Ireland's west coast over a period of five years, created a literary masterpiece. The Aran Islands weaves their stories with Synge's own and the result, as Colm Tóibín has observed, is that 'Unlike most travel books of 100 years ago, it has not dated at all.'

  • "Publié pour la première fois en 1906, cet ouvrage réunit les textes composés par Synge à propos des îles d'Aran (ouest de l'Irlande) où il séjournait souvent."
  • "Located off the west coast of Ireland, the Aran Islands were considered the country's pure, uncorrupted heart, the repository of its ancient language, culture, and spiritual values. John Millington Synge visited the Aran Islands during the years 1898 to 1901, gathering folklore and anecdotes that he would later use in his plays. His evocative travelogue is a peek at a disappearing way of life, capturing the ancient ways of the island, its breathtaking loveliness, and the charms of the residents and their customs."
  • "Records the author's visits to the Aran Islands in 1898-1901, when he was gathering the folklore and anecdotes out of which he forged "The Playboy of the Western World" and his other major dramas."@en
  • "Zeer persoonlijke beschrijving van de eilanden voor de Ierse westkust en hun bewoners."
  • "Publisher's prospectus for the limited edition (150 copies), large paper edition of Synge's work. The only book published by Maunsel to include hand-colouring of an artist's work."@en
