The Aran Islands Audiobook (Free)
Summary:
J.M. Synge, one of the greatest English vocabulary playwrites from the 20th century, immortalized the Aran Islands and its people with vivid created portraits that are among the best in modern literature. Synge’s vibrant vocabulary and earthy designs breathtakingly catch the folklore and way of life that has since perished on these remote northen islands. As an aspiring writer in 1897, Synge was commanded by William Butler Yeats to, ‘Go to the Aran Islands. Live there as one of the people themselves; express a life which has never found appearance.’ Synge captures his first four trips to the islands in this marvelous book. However, their influence continuing to permeate his function, like the Playboy of the Western World. Filled up with the exuberant energy of the artist coming into his very own, The Aran Islands provides an unforgettable look at a land that retains Ireland’s ancestral language, lifestyle and uncorrupted center. Synge’s lyrical glimpses in to the past, in conjunction with Donal Donnelly’s rich, lilting tone of voice transports listeners to these small Emerald Islands.
