Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER . A book in the best tradition of popular history-the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. . The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift! Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars"-and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost-they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.

  • A Must-Read

    This is a fascinating story that needed to be told. An excellent book, well-written and captivating. Finally, the Irish get some recognition for something truly important!

  • The book is just a good read.

    I bought the book after reading another of Mr. Cahill's books:"The Gifts of the Jews." How the Irish Saved Civilization runs through history that I have heard mixed with history that I have never heard. After reading the tome, I can appreciate how things are the way they are now only by the great gift the Irish preserved for all of us. It is that sharing, that caring, that thirst for knowledge of ideas found in books past down that resonates from the Emerald Isle by way of Cahill's pen. Read the pages in the quiet with your favorite beverage. Savor ever last drop of the printed page.

  • Putting a portion of Western civilization history into perspective

    If you are, at all, interested in history, this book helps put the end of the Roman Empire,to the beginning of the Renaissance in perspective.
