Ag Dul i bhFad - Leabhar mhí Eanáir 2024 | January's Book of the Month 2024

[English version below] Seo é an chéad chnuasach Gaeilge le hAlan Titley ó foilsíodh an 100 scéal atá i Leabhar Nóra Ní Anluain (1998). Má tháinig scata úrscéalta uaidh idir an dá linn níor thréig sé an ealaín ghairid riamh, óir tá seacht scéal anseo a ghnóthaigh duaiseanna Oireachtais. A bhformhór mór níor cuireadh i gcló cheana iad. Is ilchineálach an t-ábhar atá sa chnuasach seo: scéalta traidisiúnta ar an sean-déanamh, fabhalscéalta, scéalta gaisce nó rómánsaíochta agus tuilleadh. Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Sorcha de Brún [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] This marks Alan Titley’s first collection of short stories since the release of his renowned work Leabhar Nóra Ní Anluain. Despite his subsequent contributions in the form of several novels, Titley has remained dedicated to the craft of short storytelling, a commitment evident in this anthology, which includes seven award-winning tales from the Oireachtas competition. Notably, the majority of these stories are previously unpublished, enhancing the collection’s novelty. The compilation boasts a rich tapestry of stories, encompassing various genres: traditional narratives steeped in antiquity to enchanting fables, stirring accounts of heroism and romance, and beyond.
