520 ""Beyond the green land, the pubs and the auburn hair, is
a rich culture dating back nine thousand years, including
invasions by just about every nation in Northern Europe.
The Irish have survived as a people, perhaps because of
the genetics of hope, the richness of tale-telling and
laughter, and the scent of peat in the air."--Jay Ben
Adlersberg The Emerald Isle is known for its gorgeous
countryside, and rightfully so. From the rugged cliffs of
the Atlantic coast to the lush meadows and lakes of the
interior, Ireland is rich in imagery both awe-inspiring
and serene. The vibrant streets of such cities as Dublin
and Belfast, where modern architecture rubs shoulders with
Georgian townhouses and Norman stonework, testify to the
island's 21st century resurgence as the cosmopolitan
'Celtic Tiger.' From the remains of a Bronze Age ring fort
to the soaring modern Spire of Dublin to the stallions of
the National Stud, Ireland is a land of surprising
variety. The rich color images collected here weave
together the portrait of a land where Paleolithic
monuments, medieval castles, quiet fishing villages, and
bustling cities all exist alongside each other. From the
eerie, astonishing hexagonal stones of the 'Giant's
Causeway' in County Antrim to the cozy atmosphere of the
town pub; from breathtaking wild landscapes to the
exquisite gardens of stately homes; each page offers a new
glimpse of Ireland's multifarious beauty. The prehistoric
tombs of Newgrange, the Gothic peaks of St. Patrick's
Cathedral, the sublime scenery of Connemara National Park,
and countless country villages, all are here. With a keen
visual sensibility, Jay Ben Adlersberg captures the
tiniest details and the most magnificent vistas that are
at the island's heart and that make Ireland one of the
world's loveliest places to travel--or to call home. Here,
too, is a journey through Ireland's history. The soaring
modern Spire of Dublin monument, the elegant campus of
Trinity College, the ancient seat of Ireland's kings at
Tara--each evokes a different moment in Ireland's many-
layered past. Written in the land itself, Ireland's
history appears here in the slope of a thatched roof, in
the grass-grown remains of a Bronze Age ring fort, in a
field tilled for centuries. Finally, here is the soul of a
land where, out of the hardships of the past, have come
arts and culture alive with creativity and resilience,
from traditional flute and fiddle music to a diverse
literary tradition from which thirty poems and literary
excerpts have been chosen to accompany Adlersberg's images,
including the romantic prose of James Joyce; the humorous
boyhood memories of Frank McCourt; the celebration of
natural beauty in the poetry of W.B. Yeats; and the folk
tales of Douglas Hyde; as well as numerous others whose
writings capture the unique spirit that is Ireland.
Samantha Bowser supplies the rich and nuanced captions for
the more than two hundred photographs."--|cProvided by
