Beschreibung

'Mac Amhlaigh sought to record every pub and dancehall, every sunset, stone wall and rainbow in his mind, to pack the city in his suitcase so that she remained with him forever, so he could all at once hear her lost voice everywhere.' – Colum McCann
'Mícheál Ó hAodha has done the literary world a huge service by translating Dónall Mac Amhlaigh's work into English.' – Gillian Mawson
'a work that exudes authenticity and immediacy.' – Liam Harte
A Soldier's Song is a classic account of Irish army life by a working-class writer whose work and contribution to literary culture is only now being fully appreciated. It has the privacy and immediacy of a diary but holds the interest like a novel. It follows the adventures, trials and tribulations of Nuibin Amhlaigh who keeps getting into trouble in his good soldier's progress through army life.
A lost treasure of Irish writing translated for the first time into English.

    "A Migrant from the Expelled Generation" 
    What happens to a generation when their dreams of a decent, dignified life in their own home are shattered? Firas El Echi shares his story and theirs, recounting the journey of those who left everything behind in search of hope and opportunity. From his school days in Tunisia to starting over in Cairo, Paris, and London, he captures the excitement of the Arab Spring—a moment when everything seemed possible—only to see those dreams slip away, leaving so many scattered across the world. 
    But this isn’t just a story of loss. It’s about resilience, reinvention, and the determination to make a difference. While building new lives far from home, this generation holds onto one dream: to return, reclaim their homeland, and finish what they started. A powerful story of hope, perseverance, and the universal longing for belonging.

    Sent blind soon after birth David Hume stubbornly refused to live the limited life well-meaning elders and social norms expected. 'I do not wake in the morning and regret I'm blind. No, I wake and look to another win in a busy life.' To date, that encompasses years in a blind institute, two marriages, grieving for two outstanding wives, founding recruiting firms, devising marketing techniques, facing business collapse, sailing ocean races and through much of it, being the lead singer in popular bands. If you enjoy a short biography that inspires, saddens, cheers and sticks in your memory, then don't put aside Blind Without Barriers.
