Summary:

J.M. Synge, one of the biggest English language playwrites of the 20th hundred years, immortalized the Aran Islands and its own people with brilliant created portraits that are among the greatest in modern literature. Synge’s vibrant vocabulary and earthy designs breathtakingly catch the folklore and life-style which has since perished on these remote control northen islands. As an aspiring writer in 1897, Synge was commanded by William Butler Yeats to, ‘Go to the Aran Islands. Live there among the people themselves; express a life which has by no means found expression.’ Synge captures his first four trips to the islands in this magical book. However, their influence continued to permeate his work, including The Playboy of the Western World. Filled up with the exuberant energy of an artist coming into his personal, The Aran Islands has an unforgettable take a look at a property that holds Ireland’s ancestral vocabulary, culture and uncorrupted center. Synge’s lyrical glimpses in to the past, coupled with Donal Donnelly’s rich, lilting tone of voice transports listeners to these small Emerald Islands.
