She is a remarkable woman and a true story teller. (I have no doubt that somewhere along the way she's kissed the Blarney stone, because she definitely has an eloquence to both her speaking and writing.) This book is wonderful. It tells the story of Patrick and Osian and deals with the juxtaposition between the "old ways" and the "new ways" especially where faith is concerned. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
St. Patrick of Ireland has been enshrined in myth and history as a benign and beloved figure, a native Irish miracle worker who drove both the snakes and the Druids from his homeland and gently issued in the age of Christianity. Nothing could be further from the truth. Magonus Succatus Patricius ("Paidrig") was of Roman heritage; captured into slavery in Ireland at the age of sixteen, he escaped at the age of twenty-two.I Am of Irelaunde takes the forty-year-old Paidrig back to the site of his shame. He is full of anger, and is determined to bring Christianity to Ireland, even if he has to beat it into the "lazy, loathesome" Irish. But something happens to change Paidrig. Something shrouded in mystery and wonder. Long before Paidrig, Ireland had been guarded by a chivalric brotherhood of warriors known as the Fianna. Osian, a leading poet/warrior of the Fianna, has been dead for 200 years. He has come by magic to Paidrig toshow him the wonder of Eire. And the stories that Paidrig hears open doors that will win Paidrig's heart and convert him into the champion of the people he once despised. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
