Caillte i gConamara - Leabhar mhí Eanáir 2016 / Book of the Month - January 2016

[English version below] Cúig ghearrscéal le cúigear fear as Conamara. Cúigear údar ar de dhlúth agus d’inneach Chonamara iad, a thugann léargas ar leith ar Chonamara, pictiúr ón taobh istigh, a phléann Conamara mar a fheictear do mhuintir Chonamara é. Ach ní hé Conamara na sléibhte maorga, na lochanna gorma, na tránna bána agus na gasúir rua le hasal agus péire cléibh atá faoi chaibidil sa leabhar seo. Feictear sna scéalta seo Conamara an chaillteanais, Conamara an bhriseadh croí agus an bháis, Conamara na tragóide, Conamara an bhróin agus an olagóin. Seo Conamara mar a bhí sé sa bhfichiú haois agus mar atá sé san aonú haois is fiche. Saothar dhátheangach é seo (Gaeilge agus Béarla). Láithreoir: Ian Ó Caoimh Aíonna: Alan Titley agus Réaltán Ní Leannáin [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] Five Connemara short stories by five men from Connemara. But this is not the Connemara of the John Hinde postcards, of lofty mountains, sandy beaches, deep-blue lakes, of red-haired children on bogs. This is a place of grinding poverty, of relentless hardship, of tragic personal loss, of dreams made and lost, a Connemara of isolation and loneliness. This is Connemara as seen from the inside, powerful, gritty, down-to-earth stories of the west of Ireland in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This is a bilingual collection (English and Irish). Presenter: Ian Ó Caoimh Guests: Alan Titley and Réaltán Ní Leannáin
