Riders To The Sea (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419144899)

Riders to the Sea is a one-act play written by Irish playwright John M. Synge. It was first performed in 1904 and is considered one of Synge's most famous works. The play is set on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland and follows the story of Maurya, an elderly woman whose family has been plagued by tragedy. Maurya has lost her husband and five sons to the sea, and the play explores her grief and the harsh realities of life in a small, isolated community. The play is a powerful portrayal of the human condition and the struggle to find meaning in the face of loss and tragedy. It is a classic of Irish literature and continues to be performed and studied today.It is surely. There was a man in here a while ago -- the man sold us that knife -- and he said if you set off walking from the rocks beyond, it would be seven days you'd be in Donegal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
