Product Info Reviews

Description:

Timeless Ireland is an apt title for this collection of photography--Ireland, for all its beauty, has never been so grandly displayed. Turning the pages is like taking a sweeping tour of all the ways and days of genuine Irish life. You nearly taste the froth off the half-finished Guinness, feel the warmth of the pub fire, smell the salty air on cliffs overlooking the fierce sea, and hear the children playing ball in the gray fog of cobblestones, buildings, and misty Dublin alleys. The buildings, like Irish music, burst with gleeful harmonies of vivid color. The expressions on the locals' faces, knowing and alarmingly frank, are simply arresting. The overall effect is irresistible. In more than 200 exquisite full-page photographs, Ireland rises up like the living being it is--scarred and weary with its history, yet triumphant with life and the gold-flecked scenery of greener pastures. Timeless and priceless, indeed. --Courtenay Kehn
