Synopsis
Tomas O'Crohan was born on the Great Blasket Island in 1865 and died there in 1937, a great master of his native Irish. He shared to the full the perilous life of a primitive community, yet possessed a shrewd and humorous detachment that enabled him to observe and describe the world. His book is a valuable description of a new vanished way of life; his sole purpose in writing it was in his own words, 'to set down the character of the people about me so that some record of us might live after us, for the like of us will never be again'. The Blasket Islands are three miles off Irelands Dingle Peninsula. Until their evacuation just after the Second World War, the lives of the 150 or so Blasket Islanders had remained unchanged for centuries. A rich oral tradition of story-telling, poetry, and folktales kept alive the legends and history of the islands, and has made their literature famous throughout the world. The 7 Blasket Island books published by OUP contain memoirs and reminiscences from within this literary tradition, evoking a way of life which has now vanished., Tomas O'Crohan was born on the Great Blasket Island in 1865 and died there in 1937, a great master of his native Irish.

  • Islandman

    I have had the privilege of reading several of the Irish authors books about the Blasket Island living. This is an excellent book...which I recommend to all walks of life. What hardships were endured during the time in which this island was inhabited. What wonderful people emerged from the midst of these many adventures that they now share with us. They have so much to share and so much to give us...if we have an ear to listen...and a heart to feel what they have tried to poor out of themselves and their many rich experiences of the journey of life. It was through my interest of study about Ireland in general that led me to the discovery of these rich books...Isandman; Peig Sayers (life); Twenty Years A-Growing by Maurice O'Sullivan....I highly recommend these all to any who have an ...

  • First-hand account of the Blasket islands.

    After a recent trip to the western ireland, this book topped off the history I learned of the suffering people of the Blasket islands. I recommend this firsthand account.
