The Aran Islands, in Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland, are a unique geological and cultural landscape, and for centuries their stark beauty and their inhabitants traditional way of life have attracted pilgrims from abroad. The Aran Islands, in Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland, are a unique geological and cultural landscape, and for centuries their stark beauty and their inhabitants traditional way of life have attracted pilgrims from abroad. After a visit with his wife in 1972, Tim Robinson moved to the islands, where he started making maps and gathering stories, eventually developing the idea for a cosmic history of Arainn, the largest of the three islands. Pilgrimage is the first of two volumes that make up Stones of Aran, in which Robinson maps the length and breadth of Arainn. Here he circles the entire island, following a clockwise, sunwise path in quest of the good step, in which walking itself becomes a form of attention and contemplation.Like Annie Dillards Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Bruce Chatwins In Patagonia, Stones of Aran is not only a meticulous and mesmerizing study of place but an entrancing and altogether unclassiable work of literature. Robinson explores Aran in both its elemental and mythical dimensions, taking us deep into the islands folklore, wildlife, names, habitations, and natural and human histories. Bringing to life the ongoing, forever unpredictable encounter between one man and a given landscape, Stones of Aran discovers worlds.Robinsons voyage continues in Stones of Aran: Labyrinth The Aran Islands, in Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland, are a unique geological and cultural landscape, and for centuries their stark beauty and their inhabitants' traditional way of life have attracted pilgrims from abroad. After a visit with his wife in 1972, Tim Robinson moved to the islands, where he started making maps and gathering stories, and eventually developed the idea for this cosmic history of Arainn, the largest of the three islands. In "Pilgrimage," the first of two extraordinary volumes in which he maps the length and breadth of the island, he circles the entire shore of Arainn, a clockwise, sunwise circumambulation in quest for the "good step"-a true way of walking-which opens up onto everything that can be seen and known about a place. Like Annie Dillard's "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek "and Bruce Chatwin's "In Patagonia," Robinson's "Stones of Aran "is a book about a particular place that takes in worlds. As Robinson walks, drawing on his own personal history with the people and places of the island, he attends to folklore, wildflowers, immigration and emigration, natural history, and the Irish language. On every page is a breathtaking hymn to the cliff men, the shorebirds, the place-names, the scarred limestone of the land or the evocative stone ruins of an ancient fortress. But the book's real subject, as Robinson says, is the "unsummable totality of human perspectives." Robinson's exploration of Arainn continues when he turns inland from the shore in "Stones of Aran: Labyrinth,"" "which is forthcoming from NYRB Classics.
