Walter Macken Libri

    3 maggio 1915 – 22 aprile 1967

    Walter Macken, originariamente un attore di successo, è diventato uno scrittore irlandese dedicato, noto per i suoi romanzi, racconti e opere teatrali di grande suggestione. Il suo lavoro esplora spesso profonde emozioni umane e le complessità delle relazioni, rese con un forte senso drammatico e acume psicologico. Lo stile narrativo distintivo di Macken cattura l'essenza dei suoi personaggi e delle loro lotte, creando esperienze letterarie profondamente risonanti e memorabili per i suoi lettori. La sua dedizione alla narrazione e la rappresentazione autentica della condizione umana rendono significativi i suoi contributi alla letteratura.

      Originally written in 1952, and soon banned in Ireland, New Island’s Modern Irish Classics series brings this masterwork back to life. Orphaned at a young age, Cahal Kinsella returns from an industrial school in Letterfrack to the small farming village of Caherlo, Co. Galway to his tyrannical grandfather, and must assert his individuality if he is to have any hope of freedom from his misery. Walter Macken paints a haunting and memorable portrait of the hard life of subsistence farming, of loveless arranged marriages, and of rebellion against suffocating social mores

      These Stories, rich with the passion and drama which characterise all of Walter Macken's writing, were conceived by the author as a thematic collection, providing a stunning evocation of the life and people of Galway in the 1940s. They document a time and a place, yet they also have a timeless appeal in their portrayal of the people of the city whom Macken knew and loved so well. Full of insight and humour, they do not romanticise the past; rather they celebrate the qualities or ordinary people in their struggles with poverty, with political conservatism and with the sea, ever-present elements in the life of the city of the tribes.
