Описание: On 1 November 1920, eighteen-year-old UCD medical student Kevin Barry was hanged in Mountjoy Jail for his role in an IRA raid that killed a British soldier. The reaction to his execution was incensed and international, and to this day, he remains a vibrant icon of patriotic, idealistic death, his name synonymous with youthful republican sacrifice. The persistence of his memory is singular, not only within Irish republicanism but also in the wider world. Eunan O'Halpin, esteemed historian and grand-nephew of Kevin Barry, explores his ancestor's short but significant life, the dynamics of growing up with 'a martyr in the family, ' and why Barry's name has continued to resonate in Ireland and beyond. O'Halpin examines Barry's ideological formation and the impact of his religious education, and challenges common misconceptions about educated, privileged men who were just as willing as rural Volunteers to do what they saw as their duty. Indeed, Barry's life in the IRA in Carlow and Dublin was a surprisingly active one, despite his age, and his story tells us a great deal about the young men who joined the IRA to fight against British rule, and later each other, and the families left behind to keep their memories alive.

Описание: I felt like I was living in a world teetering on the brink ... Life as a stay-in-bed husband turned out to be a lot more complicated than I expected. My wife was pregnant with a baby that possibly wasn't mine.
My old man was engaged in a war with the feminist movement that he was never going to win. And my old dear was making a lot of unexplained trips to Russia. Throw into the mix an eldest son with a possible sex addiction and three infant sons who were so thick they made me look like Edward Einstein.
I might have actually gone over the edge if it wasn't for the belief of my daughter and the challenge of helping her win the greatest prize that South Dublin has to offer - the Strictly Mount Anville glitter ball.

Описание: Full of love, melancholy and magic - the new story collection from the Booker-longlisted author of Night Boat to Tangier

Описание: From the author of the wildly acclaimed Night Boat to Tangier, one of the New York Times's Ten Best Books of 2019, come stories of rural Ireland in the classic Irish mode: full of love (and sex), melancholy and magic, bedecked in some of the most gorgeous prose being written today. All of Kevin Barry's prodigious gifts of language, character, and setting in these eleven exquisite stories transport the reader to an Ireland both timeless and recognizably modern. In this new collection, we encounter a gallery of west Ireland character poised on the cusp between hope and disaster: a forlorn and sensitive young man favoring art films and by no means setting the night on fire takes romantic aim at a mysterious Polish waitress in The Coast of Leitrim; a morbid town crier hounds the main drag of Limerick with the inevitable greeting Did you hear who died? in the drolly comic Who's-Dead McCarthy; and in the title story, a pregnant young woman waits anxiously in a van while her older fiancй undertakes, no doubt unwisely, robbing a petrol station with a claw hammer. Shot through with dark humor and the uncanny power of the primal and unchanging Irish landscape, the stories in That Old Country Music represent some of the finest fiction.

Описание: ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEARONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR - THE ATLANTIC - THE MILLIONS -MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE - ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH - LIT HUB -LIBRARY JOURNAL - THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
In the dark waiting room of the ferry terminal in the sketchy Spanish port of Algeciras, two aging Irishmen--Maurice Hearne and Charlie Redmond, longtime partners in the lucrative and dangerous enterprise of smuggling drugs--sit at night, none too patiently. It is October 23, 2018, and they are trying to locate Maurice's estranged daughter, Dilly, whom they've heard is either arriving on a boat coming from Tangier or departing on one heading there. This nocturnal vigil will initiate an extraordinary journey back in time to excavate their shared history of violence, romance, mutual betrayals, and serial exiles. Rendered with the dark humor and the hardboiled Hibernian lyricism that have made Kevin Barry one of the most striking and admired fiction writers at work today, Night Boat to Tangier is a superbly melancholic melody of a novel, full of beautiful phrases and terrible men.

Описание:
Recently discharged from the Australian army, Simon meets a beautiful woman while travelling to Far North Queensland in Australia. They fall in love. When they reach the city of Cairns they encounter a man called Wilson. Wilson is the head of a secret government agency called AATIO, an organization responsible for 'the lethal removal' of unwanted criminal groups and terrorist cells which cannot be dealt with in a more 'legally acceptable' manner.
The young woman is accidentally killed in an assassination attempt on Wilson's life. Consumed with grief and a lust for vengeance, the ex-soldier is drafted by Wilson into the ATTIO fold and sets out on a blood soaked vendetta against the people he has been told were responsible for his wife's murder. But there is more to her death than meets the eye. As the story unfolds, the ex-soldier becomes involved in a desperate plot to assassinate the Australian Prime Minister.

Описание:
Have you ever wondered whatever happened to all those Nuclear weapons we all used to worry about?
In 1991 the Iron curtain came down, the USA and the former United Soviet Socialist Republic signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, thousands of nuclear warheads were decommissioned, and mothballed away in numerous, top secret locations all over the USA and Eastern Europe.
They're still there today..... All except one.
An illegal arms dealer has obtained a nuclear weapon and is on his way to deliver it to Palestine. Former USSR nuclear scientist and psychopathic killer, Vladimir Michael Berswiski, has been engaged to rearm the bomb and suddenly buying real estate in Tal-Aviv is beginning to look like a really bad idea.
Australian woman Iris Richards is about to embark on a voyage through the Mediterranean and is on a collision course with Berswiski. The sailing trip of a lifetime is rapidly turning into the exact opposite.
Can Major Edmond Grey of Interpol stop Berswiski before he kills again? And Is Israel on its way to becoming one of the hottest travel destinations on the globe?
