For many centuries, Ireland, a remote island on the edge of Europe, has occupied a special place in world culture. For 8,000 years, Ireland has had to endure civil wars, enemy raids and conquests, famine and religious schisms, but this unique and distinctive island has not lost touch with ancient traditions. British historian Joseph Coohill masterfully describes the exciting events of the past and the difficult fate of the Irish in the present, revealing the multifaceted character of this country. What were the ancient Celtic settlements like? How did the Viking invasion change the history of the island? What was the mission of St. Patrick? How did the Irish manage to preserve their language? This book will rediscover for you an incredible island with an amazing destiny.
