商品簡介
A well known poet and exponent of the Irish language, Rosenstock recounts his travels to Asia and other parts of the world in a genre of travel writing that withered away when the English language began to dominate Ireland in the 18th century. This work was originally written in Irish and is the first travel book of its kind comparing Irish folkways and Asian traditions. small glossary is included, but no index. No publishing data is cited for the Irish original Olannmo mhiuil as an n Gainseis. Dr. Michael O Aodha (U. of Limerick, Ireland) the translator is active in academic Irish language and Irish history circles. This work is an unusual contribution to contemporary Irish studies and a welcome one. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
