Inhaltsangabe

Ireland holds a special place in peopleâ€s hearts—even for many who havenâ€t been there. To some the appeal is its natural beauty, to others it is the history; to some it is the countryâ€s strong folk tradition, while to others the island seems to be a mystical place. Ireland: The Emerald Isle presents 200 outstanding photographs of the islandâ€s most evocative and beautiful places, from miles of near empty beaches on the Dingle Peninsula to the Mourne Mountains in County Down, from County Corkâ€s pretty fishing towns to Dublinâ€s elegant Georgian streets and Belfastâ€s bridges. While some locations, such as the striking basalt columns of the Giantâ€s Causeway, may be familiar, others you may recognize only from TV series and movies such as Game of Thrones and Star Wars, but not have known that they, too, are to be found in Ireland. From Celtic settlements to the Vikings, from the Norman invasions to the islandâ€s relationship with Britain, each entry is supported by a caption explaining its fascinating history. Arranged by topics from beaches and coasts to hills and mountains, from forts and castles to religious places to towns and cities, and featuring entries from both the Republic and Northern Ireland, this is a stunning collection of images celebrating the islandâ€s natural beauty, culture, religion, and history.
