{"product_id":"ireland-james-mc-elroy-9781883513177","title":"Ireland","description":"What explains the fact that one of the world's smallest, least assuming countries has consistently been among the top 15 international travel destinations for Americans? Ireland's appeal can be attributed to many things: its blend of picturesque villages and bustling modern cities, its people known for their warmth, charm, stoicism, and individuality, its history -- one of the most dramatic of any country on the planet -- and its rich literary tradition. This engaging collection of short stories captures all these qualities of Ireland and more. Set in the Emerald Isle's legendary provinces of Ulster, Munster, Leinster, and Connaught, these varied tales by some of the world's most renowned writers give prospective visitors an immediate feel for the country's enduring past and exciting present. Frank O'Connor, Liam O'Flaherty, William Trevor, John McGahern, Benedict Kiely, Patrick Kavanugh, Gerry Adams, Hugo Hamilton, and Desmond Hogan are among the talents represented here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James MC Elroy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1883513170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781883513177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whereabouts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 5.03w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2008","brand":"James MC Elroy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989513371903,"sku":"9781883513177","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6a353ee-7630-4b59-adfd-281dbd3fc263.jpg?v=1683299930","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ireland-james-mc-elroy-9781883513177","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
