CONNEMARA : THE LAST POOL OF DARKNESS
by Tim Robinson
€ 16.25
ISBN: 9780141032696
Shortlisted for the Bord Gais Irish Book Awards Book of the Decade and winner of the Irish Book Awards Argosy Irish Non-Fiction Book of the Year for 2007.
The first volume of Tim Robinson's "Connemara" trilogy, "Listening to the Wind", covered Robinson's home territory of Roundstone and environs. "The Last Pool of Darkness" moves into wilder territory: the fjords, cliffs, hills and islands of north-west Connemara, a place that Wittgenstein, who lived on his own in a cottage there for a time, called 'the last pool of darkness in Europe'. Again combining his polymathic knowledge of Connemara's natural history, human history, folklore and topography with his own unsurpassable artistry as a writer, Tim Robinson has produced another classic.
