Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irish Idylls The illustrations in the present edition of Idylls are the result of a trip made to the Connemara boglands of western Ireland, for the express purpose of securing material that should be absolutely true to the descriptions in the text. I have tried to make the pictures faithful transcripts of nature and life as they really are amid the sombre bogs that are the predominant features of that part of the Irish west coast. It is doubtful if in any civilised country there are people whose homes and lives are more forlorn than those of these Connemarese folk; and it is no wonder that Miss Barlow´s portrayal of them in their out: of-the-world villages, in their petty strifes, their pinching poverty, their loves, their disappointments, and their triumphs, has attracted wide attention. Here is the whole gamut of human nature, in spite of the forbidding environment; and it touches a responsive chord in every sympathetic heart, no matter how differently situated.
