Irland

A fascinating and faithful account of President Kennedy's 3 1/2 day visit to Ireland in late June of 1963 - a day-by-day, hour-by-hour look at the places Kennedy visited; the people he met - political and cultural luminaries and average Irish citizens alike; the throngs who lined the roads to catch a glimpse of him or gathered to hear him speak; and the events that crowded his schedule.Exhaustively researched from written and oral sources, the book tells - and shows with 44 photos - a memorable tale of the president's "homecoming" to a people and land long etched in his heart and at last on the verge of taking their place in the modern world's politics and economy. In his Preface to the 2019 paperback edition, the author includes excerpts from the letter Mrs. Kennedy wrote to the Irish President Eamon de Valera two months after her husband was assassinated. "This moving letter was unknown to the public until after de Valera's papers at University College Dublin were opened to researchers in 2005."

Tre Paesi: Three wanderings in compacted time and space, through North Kyoto, Cumbria and Lincolnshire¿: moving without pause and without announcement between past and present, this season and the next. It is an old man's poem, mainly about regret for what he did not live up tö. The speaker is one who tends to think his thoughts through what he sees¿: one who might admire Caliban's knowledge of what's in front of his nose, his ability to identify with its movements.

One evening in his early teens as his family sat around the dining table, Mark O'Neill's father suddenly dropped his English accent and spoke for the first time in his original and long hidden Irish voice. It was the start of an Irish journey for Mark that has lasted a lifetime, taking him through Scotland, to Belfast as a reporter during the Troubles in the 1970s, and from 1978, to the Far East where he continued his search for the meaning of Irishness.In Hong Kong, China and Japan, Mark discovered deep Irish footprints - missionaries, doctors, judges, lawyers, authors and jockeys. Two Irish nuns cured Hong Kong of tuberculosis, an Irish bandmaster wrote the music for Japan's national anthem and a nun taught English and Gaelic to the future Empress Michiko of Japan. Mark followed the footsteps of his grandfather, a Presbyterian missionary who lived in a small town in northeast China for 45 years. He was delighted to find still standing the church his grandfather had built, with a minister and her congregation happy to welcome him.Since 1800, no country in Europe has lost as many of its citizens to emigration as Ireland. From the 19th century, the Irish started to come to Asia, and now the Chinese are going to Ireland - including Hazel Chu, elected Lord Mayor of Dublin in 2020, as well as one of Ireland's most famous celebrity chefs and any number of IT wizards. This is a remarkable account of the Irish diaspora, touchingly personal, full of humour, anecdotes and insights.

"Was heißt reisen? Sich treiben lassen? Sich von Punk A zu Punkt B bewegen? Neues entdecken? Neue Freunde finden? Mit fremden Menschen sprechen? Ich weiß es nicht. Für mich bedeutet Reisen: Abenteuer, Nachdenken, Begegnung." Thomas Michael Glaw betrachtet europäische Metropolen und die Menschen, die dort leben, mit den Augen des Fotografen und dem ihm eigenen britischen Humor. Neben einem Abgesang auf seine Münchner Wahlheimat finden sich Betrachtungen zu italienischen Charakteren, Ostberliner Zuckerbäckerstil, einem Zug nach Prag voller Betrunkener und viel irischer Landschaft. Stets nachdenklich und mit einem hintergründigen Lächeln macht er seinen Leserinnen und Lesern Appetit, selbst den Zug oder das Flugzeug zu besteigen. ____________________________ Zehn Verlage, zehn Bücher, eine gemeinsame Reihe: Das ist die Schöne Bücher Bibliothek .
