Title :
A Long Long WayAuthor: Barry Sebastian Publisher: Penguin Group USA Praised as a “master storyteller” (The Wall Street Journal) and hailed for his “flawless use of language” (Boston Herald), Irish author and playwright Sebastian Barry has created a powerful new novel about divided loyalties and the realities of war. In 1914, Willie Dunne, barely eighteen years old, leaves behind Dublin, his family, and the girl he plans to marry in order to enlist in the Allied forces and face the Germans on the Western Front. Once there, he encounters a horror of violence and gore he could not have imagined and sustains his spirit with only the words on the pages from home and the camaraderie of the mud-covered Irish boys who fight and die by his side. Dimly aware of the political tensions that have grown in Ireland in his absence, Willie returns on leave to find a world split and ravaged by forces closer to home. Despite the comfort he finds with his family, he knows he must rejoin his regiment and fight until the end. With grace and power, Sebastian Barry vividly renders Willie's personal struggle as well as the overwhelming consequences of war. € 15,20

Title :
The Whereabouts of Eneas McNultyAuthor: Barry Sebastian Publisher: Penguin Group USA Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as 'the finest book to come out of Europe this year,' The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty is acclaimed Irish playwright Sebastian Barry's lyrical tale of a fugitive everyman. For Eneas McNulty, a happy, innocent childhood in County Sligo in the early 1900s gives way to an Ireland wracked by violence and conflict. Unable to find work in the depressed times after World War I, Eneas joins the British-led police force, the Royal Irish Constabulary?a decision that alters the course of his life. Branded a traitor by Irish nationalists and pursued by IRA hitmen, Eneas is forced to flee his homeland, his family, and Viv, the woman he loves. His wandering terminates on the Isle of Dogs, a haven for sailors, where a lifetime of loss is redeemed by a final act of generosity. The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty is the story of a lost man and a compelling saga that illuminates Ireland's complex history. € 15,20

Title :
Plays: Vol 1Author: Sebastian Barry Publisher: BERTRAMS PRINT ON DEMAND Boss Grady's Boys: 'An emotional intensity, a theatrical fluidity, and a sense of humanity that are rare and very special.'—Sunday Tribune Prayers of Sherkin: 'A luminously beautiful work ... It has a crystalline clarity in its language, a deeply compassionate interest in character.'—Irish Times White Woman Street: 'Profound, amusing, and poetic, with a sure grasp of contemporary moods of displacement.'—Observer The Only True History of Lizzie Finn: 'A first-rate piece of writing ... the simplicity and innocent beauty of the language give it depth and an elegiac quality.'—Independent The Steward of Christendom: 'What takes one's breath away is the sheer beauty of Barry's writing.

Title :
Steward of ChristendomAuthor: Sebastian Barry Publisher: BERTRAMS PRINT ON DEMAND This is the play that established Barry as one of Ireland's most powerful contemporary playwrights. Thomas Dunne, ex-chief superintendent of the Dublin Metropolitan police looks back on his career built during the latter years of Queen Victoria's empire, from his home in Baltinglass in Dublin in 1932. Like King Lear, Dunne tries valiantly to break free of history and himself. The Steward of Christendom took London by storm when it premiered at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in March 1995 with Donal McCann in the title role. It transferred to Broadway and has toured around the world.
