Barry Sebastian Title : Ai tempi del vecchio Dio
Author: Barry Sebastian
Publisher: Einaudi

Tom Kettle è un poliziotto in pensione che crede di aver fatto i conti con il passato. Fino a quando due agenti bussano alla sua porta... In un'Irlanda di travolgente bellezza, 'Ai tempi del vecchio Dio' esplora le radici profonde dell'amore, della memoria e del dolore, tra scandali e segreti a lungo nascosti. Tom Kettle, ex sergente della polizia irlandese in pensione, dovrebbe godersi il meritato riposo di chi ha conosciuto il crimine fin troppo da vicino e può finalmente aspirare a una vita di contemplativa solitudine, guardando il mare dalla sua comoda poltrona di vimini. Eppure non è così. Perso nei suoi ricordi, instabili, frammentari, talvolta confusi, Tom riceve un giorno la visita di due agenti che chiedono la sua collaborazione su un vecchio caso irrisolto. Le indagini che lui stesso aveva condotto decenni addietro legate a un orrendo caso di pedofilia richiedono rinnovata attenzione. Rivangare il passato è quanto mai doloroso, perché la vicenda, con i suoi più scabrosi risvolti, non è solo quella dei documenti ufficiali: è anche la storia personale di Tom e di sua moglie June, dei loro figli Joe e Winnie, e del grave peso che tutti hanno dovuto sostenere. I dettagli che riaffiorano via via nella mente di Tom, trasportati dalle stesse correnti che agitano la superficie del mare d'Irlanda, ricompongono un'indicibile verità. E allora non basta coltivare la memoria dell'amore nelle sue forme più pure, non basta stupirsi di fronte alla volitiva, indomabile natura del clima irlandese: la squallida brutalità della violenza umana, in tutte le sue sfumature più abiette e

Barry Sebastian Title : Giorni senza fine
Author: Barry Sebastian
Publisher: Einaudi

L'America di metà Ottocento è un posto senza pace. A ovest gli indiani si oppongono all'aggressiva avanzata dei bianchi tentando di difendere il territorio in cui hanno sempre vissuto, mentre a est si riversano gli europei in fuga dalla carestia, illusi di aver trovato la salvezza. Thomas McNulty ha solo quindici anni quando, rimasto orfano, decide di tentare la sua fortuna lontano dall'Irlanda e approda sulle coste americane. Qui Thomas incontra per caso John Cole che ha all'incirca la sua stessa età e i suoi stessi problemi. E simpatia immediata. Con un colpo di fortuna, i due trovano lavoro in un saloon: ripuliti ed elegantemente vestiti da donna, dovranno ballare con i minatori regalando loro un po' di femminilità in un postaccio di frontiera in cui il gentil sesso è merce rara. Ma la vita è impietosa e, quando i loro visi e corpi cominciano a tradire la realtà, Thomas e John devono inventarsi qualcos'altro. Stavolta, per guadagnarsi la pagnotta, si arruolano nell'esercito. Finiscono cosí in mezzo alle praterie, carnefici riluttanti nella guerra massacrante contro gli indiani. Anche Winona è una vittima innocente di questa guerra sanguinosa: rimasta sola al mondo, ritrova in John e Thomas quello che piú assomiglia a un paio di genitori. A legare lo strano trio un amore fuori dal comune, che ha il sapore di una promessa di libertà. Ma allo scoppio di una nuova guerra, quella civile, anche se ormai sono passati a un'occupazione totalmente diversa, Thomas e John non vogliono abbandonare i vecchi amici e si riuniscono a loro indossando l'uniforme blu dell'Unione.

Barry Sebastian Title : The Temporary Gentleman
Author: Barry Sebastian
Publisher: Penguin Group USA

A stunning new novel from the two-time Man Booker shortlisted author of The Secret Scripture

In this highly anticipated new novel, Irishman Jack McNulty is a ?temporary gentleman”?an Irishman whose commission in the British army in World War II was never permanent. Sitting in his lodgings in Accra, Ghana, in 1957, he’s writing the story of his life with desperate urgency. He cannot take one step further without examining all the extraordinary events that he has seen. A lifetime of war and world travel?as a soldier in World War II, an engineer, a UN observer?has brought him to this point. But the memory that weighs heaviest on his heart is that of the beautiful Mai Kirwan, and their tempestuous, heartbreaking marriage. Mai was once the great beauty of Sligo, a magnetic yet unstable woman who, after sharing a life with Jack, gradually slipped from his grasp.

Award-winning author Sebastian Barry’s The Temporary Gentleman is the sixth book in his cycle of separate yet interconnected novels that brilliantly reimagine characters from Barry’s own family.

Author: Barry Sebastian
Publisher: Penguin Group USA

An epic story of family, love, and unavoidable tragedy from the two-time Man Booker Prize finalist

Sebastian Barry 's novels have been hugely admired by readers and critics, and in 2005 his novel A Long Long Way was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In The Secret Scripture, Barry revisits County Sligo, Ireland, the setting for his previous three books, to tell the unforgettable story of Roseanne McNulty. Once one of the most beguiling women in Sligo, she is now a resident of Roscommon Regional Mental Hospital and nearing her hundredth year. Set against an Ireland besieged by conflict, The Secret Scripture is an engrossing tale of one woman's life, and a vivid reminder of the stranglehold that the Catholic church had on individuals throughout much of the twentieth century.

Lonergan Patrick (EDT), Behan Brendan, Murphy Tom, Reid Christina, Barry Sebastian, McDonagh Martin Title : The Methuen Drama Anthology of Irish Plays
Author: Lonergan Patrick (EDT), Behan Brendan, Murphy Tom, Reid Christina, Barry Sebastian, McDonagh Martin
Publisher: Bloomsbury Methuen Drama

Introduced by Patrick Lonergan, The Methuen Drama Anthology of Irish Plays brings together five major works from the Irish dramatic canon of the last sixty years in one outstanding collection.


Behan's The Hostage, depicting the capture and death
of a British soldier by the IRA, was first produced by Joan
Littlewood's Theatre Workshop in 1958 and was declared 'a masterpiece' by The Times. Murphy's Bailegangaire (1985)
portrays a senile old woman's recitation of an epic tale to her two
granddaughters who struggle to free themselves from her and exorcise
the past. Reid's The Belle of the Belfast City, winner of the George Devine Award in 1986,
examines the tensions present in three generations of women in a
Belfast-Protestant family during the week of an anti-Anglo-Irish rally.
Sebastian Barry's The Steward of Christendom won the London Critics' Circle Award for Best Play 1995 and was heralded by the Guardian as 'an authentic masterpiece'. McDonagh's 1996 play The Cripple of Inishmaan is a strange comic tale in the great tradition of Irish storytelling. McDonagh was awarded the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright.

Author: Barry Sebastian
Publisher: Penguin Group USA

When she was a young woman, Roseanne McNulty was one of the most beautiful and beguiling girls in County Sligo, Ireland. Now, as her hundredth year draws near, she is a patient at Roscommon Regional Mental Hospital, and she decides to record the events of her life.
As Roseanne revisits her past, hiding the manuscript beneath the floorboards of her bedroom, she learns that Roscommon Hospital will be closed in a few months and that her caregiver, Dr. Greene, has been asked to evaluate the patients to decide if they can return to society. Roseanne is of particular interest to Dr. Greene, and as he researchers her case he discovers a document written by a local priest that tells a very different story of Roseanne's life from what she recalls. As doctor and patient attempt to understand each other, they begin to uncover long-buried secrets about themselves.
Set against an Ireland besieged by conflict, The Secret Scripture is an epic story of love, betrayal and unavoidable tragedy, and a vivid reminder of the strangle-hold that the Catholic Church had on individual lives throughout much of the twentieth century.

Barry Sebastian Title : A Long, long way
Author: Barry Sebastian
Publisher: Instar Libri

Willie Dunne è un ragazzo in gamba, sensibile, con una splendida voce. È nato a Dublino nel 1896, e per tutti i ragazzi d'Europa nati in quei tempi, il futuro ha progetti crudeli. Troppo basso per seguire le orme del padre poliziotto, allo scoppio della Grande Guerra raccoglie l''invito' del generale Kitchener e si arruola volontario. Nelle trincee francesi assiste e partecipa a vicende terribili, vivendo, oltre allo strazio generale del conflitto, quello personale di un irlandese che combatte nell'esercito britannico proprio mentre, a casa, i suoi compatrioti lottano per l'indipendenza. È confuso, sballottato tra un sentimento e l'altro da eventi e pressioni troppo grandi per lui. Ed è così, senza sapere bene perché, che Willie si ritrova implicato nella Pasqua di Sangue del 1916, quando le truppe inglesi fanno strage di ribelli per le strade di Dublino. Ma forse la guerra gli ha chiarito le idee, forse, in qualche modo, lo ha fatto crescere: purtroppo il destino ha in serbo per lui un ultimo, tragico scherzo.
