Collection of Irish language short stories by Réaltán Ní Leannáin. These stories grab our attention from the first few words, as the author steers us skillfully through deceit, trickery and duplicity.

Liam Ó Flaithearta is best known as a writer in English. The Aran Islands native (1896–1984) published over a dozen novels and nearly two hundred short stories in English during his lifetime but just one collection of short stories in Irish, Dúil (1953). This book went on to have a lasting impact on readers of Irish-language literature and not just because it spent many years on school and university curricula. A common topic of debate regarding Ó Flaithearta's work is whether his work in Irish was even better than his writing in English. And what relationship exists, if any, between his writing in Irish and in English? Another issue is why he published most of his work in English in the first place. All that aside, it is worth taking another look at Ó Flaithearta's work through the eyes of the Irish speaker and in this book Micheál Ó Conghaile has translated his selection of Ó Flaithearta's short stories. The collection includes thirty-three short stories, in which themes like the hardship of life for people living in the Irish islands, the role of women in society, his distinctive view of the clergy and the Catholic church, and his fascination with nature.

By following a strange clue, Tintin and Báinín fall headlong into the clutches of a gang of drug smugglers, as they unwittingly find themselves in vicious conflict with an international criminal.

The stories in this collection shine a light on a sometimes flawed, but very recognisable, cast of characters as they come to terms with the truths – and mistruths – of their existence. Set in the present day and in the past – and indeed in a past that never was – we are taken on a tour of their own private universe, starting out on ‘the twetieth largest island in the world,’ a strange land that the reader may yet recognise, even in this new and distorted form.

The short story can take many forms and this is amply illustrated in this very special anthology which celebrates the variety and the high quality of contemporary writing in Ulster. This is a highly enjoyable collection of 28 authors, both young and old, from every corner of the province. Between the covers of this volume we are presented with a masterclass in the diversity of the genre. Stories of love, of revenge, of hope. Stories that make us laugh out loud. Stories that make us cry. Some of these stories are firmly rooted in oral traditions that span centuries, others very proudly display the stamp of contemporary ways of story-weaving. No matter where readers may dive in throughout this very considerable collection, they will find worlds that awaken their interest and entice their imagination.

The young woman is sent on a journey that forces her to question everything her grandmother ever said to her. As the story moves from Paris to Brussels to the west of Ireland, Levana approaches the true story of her grandmother and the tragedy that befell Madame Lazare ‘s secret life.

"To sell this product to our partners in the medical industry, we are going to combine experience and freshness" Duprat labs introduce their new strategy to Guy Farkas, an 'old school' pharmaceutical sales rep, and Jérémy Labionda, an over-qualified junior exec ordered to keep an eye on Farkas. On top of that, the duo have to sell a drug that is reputed to have caused the death of hundreds of patients. Sometimes cruel, sometimes sarcastic, but always very funny, An Broc-Chú is a satire on the greedy world we live in.

Orwell's Animal Farm translated into Irish.

The plotters plan to steal the ancient Sceptre of King Ottokar, symbol of the new king’s right to rule. Should the plot succeed, the king will lose his crown and his country will face invasion.

Khalil, a twenty-three-year-old Belgian of Moroccan descent, plans to detonate a suicide vest in a crowd outside the Stade de France on November 13, 2015. Explosions are rocking Paris, at cafés and the Bataclan theater, and when other bombs drive the stadium crowd to flee in his direction, near the Metro, his time has come. He presses his button, and . . . nothing. Fearing he has failed in his mission for Fraternel Solidarity (FS), an ISIS affiliate, Khalil has little choice but to blend in with his would-be victims and run. Back in Belgium, he must lie low and avoid his militant brethren and the authorities. He relies on his family and friends for places to stay, but he keeps the truth about himself secret. All the while, he contemplates what he almost did, and what he will do next—particularly when it comes to light that his vest accidently had been a harmless training unit all along, and FS has a new mission planned for him. In this daring, propulsive literary thriller, Yasmina Khadra takes readers to the margins of Europe’s glittering capitals, through neighborhoods isolated by government neglect and popular apathy, if not outright racism. And he brings to life an unusual protagonist, a young man struggling with family, religion, and politics who makes fateful choices, and in doing so dramatises powerful questions about society and human nature. Translated into Irish by Máirín Nic Con Iomaire.

He remembers too the fateful night in December 1942. The night he jumped out of a German plane on the coast of County Down, he made his way to his parents’ house in the dead of night.

This marks Alan Titley’s first collection of short stories since the release of his renowned work LEABHAR NÓRA NÍ ANLUAIN (1998).

This is the first novel in the Irish language to deal with the First World War. It is a landmark work of literature, a compelling account of life and loss on the western front.

A HARROWING CORRECTIVE TO THE MYTH OF A JUST WAR

The novel’s protagonists are two young Gaelic speakers from Cloich Cheann Fhaola in north west Donegal who believe they are going on a glorious adventure without any real notion of the horrific realities they would encounter as infantrymen on the western front. Saighdiúir (Soldier) is an immensely moving book that evokes the horror and the terror of that dreadful conflict. It gives vivid heart-rending descriptions of the tragic waste of brief young lives fed into the voracious jaws of war. It is a harrowing corrective to the myth of a just war.

THE POWER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT TO ENDURE

The book goes beyond military history, though, to give voice to the futility and pathos of all wars. In that respect it’s a raw, haunting anti-war novel. It captures the living hell of the front lines, the bombardment of bursting shells and belching artillery, the water-logged trenches, the dawn raids, the deadly mustard gas, the mud and blood and grime of a senseless war. And yet, in this endless horror the power of the human spirit to endure is truly remarkable. And in the midst of this savagery and slaughter are moments of tenderness, of immense courage and companionship.

THE LOST GENERATION OF IRISHMEN

Two hundred thousand Irishmen fought in the First World War. Until recently, the joining-up of these legions of men was, mostly, excised from our troubled history. This novel brings forth that lost, largely forgotten generation of Irish soldiers who fought and fell on the western front. It is a universal story of the brutality unleashed by war and a fitting testament from a generation marked for slaughter. This is a remarkable war novel and will stand with the best of its kind, an authentic and compelling addition to the war literature of Sassoon, Owens, Rosenberg and Remarque.

Criomhthann is a young man destined for the life of a warrior king. Due to a family tragedy, he must go in search of a different kind of life — and he will not undertake that new journey easily. Pagans and Christians at each other’s throats We are immersed in the uncertain life of the sixth century, a time when great changes were coming to people’s lives; a time when ambitious kings were at each other’s throats; a time when the old world of paganism was yielding to Christianity. A glimpse of Colmcille the person Flaitheas is a story that gives us a glimpse of the human Colmcille, a person who had his own weaknesses and had many obstacles to overcome. The story of each one of us Flaitheas tells the story of a person who is trying to make sense of changes in his life, the story of a person struggling with fate, the story of a person who makes mistakes but tries his best to do the right thing for himself and for the people around him. The story of each of us.
