Magic Ireland: Legends and Landscapes, Gabrielle Alioth & Max Schmid

Description
More Less

The spirit of Ireland is captured in this volume through its landscapes and legends. Renowned photographer Max Schmid, who has traveled the island for decades, has portrayed its unique charm in his distinctive, mystical images – from the gentle coasts in the east to the verdant hills and dramatic cliffs of the north and west. Author Gabrielle Alioth, who has lived in Ireland for over forty years, retells the country's sagas and myths with a touch of humor and a twinkle in her eye.

These stories form a vital foundation for the identity of this history-rich island and remain vibrant to this day. The classic Irish legends of the Ulster Cycle and the Fenian Cycle serve as the basis for her texts. Originally rooted in Celtic times, these tales have been reimagined and adapted over the centuries to fit contemporary (narrative) contexts – as they are also in this book.
