Through Irish Eyes: A Visual Companion to Angela McCourt's Ireland by Malachy Mc

Description: Through Irish Eyes by Malachy McCourt The only photography book to document the world of Limerick, Ireland, as lived by families during the time of the McCourts. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Angelas Ashes is one of the greatest memoirs of our age, as author Frank McCourt recounts a childhood of poverty and pain in Limerick, Ireland during the 1930s and 40s. Since its release in 1996, readers have longed to know this world better, and it is with the publication of Through Irish Eyes, that they can see first-hand just how the other half lived. Through a beautifully curated collection of archival photographs presented alongside detailed captions and literary quotes, Through Irish Eyes shows us a world that few who did not live it have ever known. Here we see the beautiful and rugged landscape of the countryside juxtaposed with the darkness of urban poverty in the citys underside. We are shown a way of life that no longer exists, but is forever captured in these unsentimental images of the Irish way, its people and their struggles, and their small and hard-wrought joys. Author Biography Malachy McCourt, born 1931, is an Irish-American actor, writer, and politician. The author of A Monk Swimming and Bringing Him My Song, he is the younger brother of Frank McCourt.
