Ventry Calling: The Story of a Proud and Honest People - Paperback
Description
by Bearnard Ó. Lubhaing (Author), Gabriel Fitzmaurice (Translator)
Ventry Calling is a translation of Bearnard Ó Lubhaing's beautifully written Ceann Trá hAon - a memoir originally published in 1998 by Coiscéim and now translated by Gabriel Fitzmaurice. It is a loving, frank look at life as Bearnard saw it in the village of his youth.
The rich archaeological heritage of the area, the feast-days of the year, life in west Kerry during the Second World War, encounters with the Blasket Island heritage, are all lovingly related in this authoritative account by a Ventry native who went on to become a national school teacher, a member of An Taisce and a committed Gaeilgeoir.
Ventry Calling is a valuable record of the Corca Dhuibhne/Blasket Island heritage and will appeal to local historians, teachers and the general reader.
