1972: A Novel of Ireland's Unfinished Revolution - Morgan Llywelyn

Descriere 1972: A Novel of Ireland's Unfinished Revolution - Morgan Llywelyn

\n \nThe Irish Century series is the narrative of the epic struggle of the Irish people for independence through the tumultuous twentieth century. Morgan Llywelyn's magisterial multi-novel chronicle of that story began with 1916, continued in 1921 and 1949, and now continues with 1972. \n \n1972 tells the story of Ireland from 1950-1972 as seen through the eyes of young Barry Halloran, son and grandson of Irish revolutionaries. Following family tradition, at eighteen Barry joins the Irish Republican Army to help complete what he sees as 'the unfinished revolution'. \n \nIssues are no longer as clear cut as they once were. His first experience of violence in Northern Ireland shocks and disturbs him, yet he has found a sense of family in the Army which is hard to give up. He makes a partial break by becoming a photographer, visually documenting events in the north rather than participating. \n \nEvents lead Barry into a totally different life from the one he expected, yet his allegiance to the ideal of a thirty-two county Irish republic remains undimmed as the problems, and the violence, of Northern Ireland escalate. Then Barry finds himself in the middle of the most horrific event of all: Bloody Sunday in Derry, 1972. \n \nThe Irish Century Novels \n1916: A Novel of the Irish Rebellion \n1921: The Great Novel of the Irish Civil War \n1949: A Novel of the Irish Free State \n1972: A Novel of Ireland's Unfinished Revolution \n1999: A Novel of the Celtic Tiger and the Search for Peace\n
