"Irish Wonder Tales" - ten wild magical adventures in the now unattainable reality of gods, kings and heroes; a collection of ancient legends, first written down in the Middle Ages and rethought at the beginning of the last century by James Stevens (1880-1950), an expert and popularizer of the medieval Irish language tradition, who carefully preserved the gemstone scattering of oral colloquial speech that the emerald hills heard in time immemorial, but at the same time vividly and sparklingly translated these phantasmagorias into a more understandable modern language. The style of James Stevens - a poet, the author of hilarious philosophical novels "Crock of Gold" and "Demigods", a BBC radio presenter - cannot be confused with anyone else's: ironic, rich and incredibly generous, it is permeated with the bottomless Irish history and the music of the language. Stevens himself is more of a Joycean cohort, a bright, bold modernist, a clever, observant satirist. However, his commitment to the epic tradition of his native country and a strong national feeling predetermined his truly unique place in Irish and world literature of the twentieth century.
