JOHN M. SYNGE

Synge was one of the key dramatists in the flourishing world of Irish literature at the turn of the century. This volume offers every one of his plays, which range from racy comedy to stark tragedy, all sharing a memorable lyricism. The introduction to this new, definitive edition sets the plays in the context of the Irish literary movement, with special attention to Synge's role as one of the founders of the Abbey Theatre and his work alongside W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory.

The Aran Islands (1907) is a four-part collection of J.M. Synges journals that explore the inhabitants and geography of the titular islands. Throughout the book, Synge reveals the problematic lives of the islanders as they survive against harsh weather and seclusion from the mainland. Oscillating between their daily rituals and the backdrop they live against; Synge paints a vivid picture of life on the Aran Islands at the turn of the 20th century. For fans of adventure or travel books, J.M Synges The Aran Islands is a must-read. A prototypical David Attenborough or Bear Grylls, Synge offers an incredible exploration of these islands at a time that would be otherwise lost to history.

The playboy oí the western world (O mozo que chegou de lonxe, na versión en galego), é unha peza naturalista ubicada nun ambiente rural perfectamente identificable, na que o tratamento do texto e da acción dramática deixan ó descuberto comportamentos tribais, aínda vivos, que exceden o seu propio microcosmos. Un suposto crime desencadea un rebumbio social que ten o seu paralelo discursivo nunha Galicia mítica, pero real; tremenda, pero recoñecible.
