The Irish

by Seán O'Faoláin

Condition: Poor Condition — £1.69
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"Many racial, religious, social and intellectual strands have, over the centuries, been woven into the cloth of Irish genius, and it is Sean O'Faolain's achievement to have disentangled these. The wild, imaginative, disunited Ireland of the Celts, which for years was the fountainhead of Christianity ; the intrusion of Danes and Normans who defied the Irish horror of towns and began to urbanize Ireland ; the years of English ascendancy, when new populations and a new language were planted ; the upsurge of Irish nationalism and Irish letters after 1800 - all these are critically and engagingly recorded by one of the greatest living Irish writers." -- book cover.
