365 Days in Ireland Calendar 2002 [Wall Calendar] [Calendar]

Colum McCann (Author), Fritz Dressler (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2000

The sound of a flute and fiddle. The brogue. The poetry of Yeats and Seamus Heaney. Stone ruins in a morning mist. A caramel pint of Guinness. A land of strong contrasts-of earth and spirit, of craggy rock and lush green, of red doors in a sea of winding streets, of Angela's Ashes and The Book of Kells-Ireland draws ever more visitors every year.

365 DAYS IN IRELAND is a paean to the small green island whose beauty, culture, and rich history have inspired visitors for centuries. With photographs by Fritz Dressler, a European travel photographer, and the appreciations of Colum McCann, prize-winning author of This Side of Brightness, it is an evocative and eloquent portrait.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

THE ROCK OF CASHEL, FANAD HEAD, A BLOOMSDAY TOUR OF DUBLIN

Every day—every moment spent in Ireland is a seduction. The dramatic sea spray of Cork's Roaring Water Bay. The Slieve League Cliffs. Light reflecting off the River Liffey. Crumbling relics of the past—towers, abbeys, dolmens. A fiddler fiddling in the pub, the Irish Derby, Blarney Castle of myth and story, witty Guinness ads, a swan gliding down the Erne. These are the wonders of the Emerald Isle, imbued with history and memory and a deep sense of place.

Combining the lyrical writing of novelist Colum McCan with hundreds of gorgeous photographs by Tim Thompson, 365 DAYS IN IRELAND captures the essence and heart of the land—the windswept beauty, indomitable spirit, and the thread of magic that wends through it all. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: 365 Days in Ireland Calendar 2008 (Picture-A-Day Wall Calendars) (Calendar)

I have been purchasing the 365 Days in Ireland calendars for years. This year it has even more special meaning for me since I've been fortunate enough to travel there. Now that I have the new one for 2008, I can't wait to hang it up and enjoy it.

Each month is devoted to a different region (county or city) in Ireland. At the top of each page there is a larger picture along with a short narrative about the area, then each day has a picture. Having reviewed all the months I found June to be my favorite with a large picture of Dublin at the top along with daily pictures of all the interesting sites I saw there. It certainly brought back memories for me.

You don't have to have a history of having traveled to Ireland to enjoy this beautiful calendar. The photography is beautiful - it may make you want to make Ireland your next vacation destination. I enjoyed this calendar before I was lucky enough to travel to Ireland, and enjoy it even more now. I'm sure you will enjoy it too.

I have bought an Ireland calendar every year for the past six years. I always get one for my grandmother and usually one for me. This is the best calendar out there. There is almost one photo per each day highlighting each county. There are some truly beautiful photos. I also like that there is plenty if space to write appointments and such in the large boxes beneath each date. I highly reccommend this calendar - it's well worth it's cost.

As an Irishman living away from home,I find this to be a great purchase,to keep a little bit of home in your house all year around,as the name suggests it's 365 days in Ireland so a different picture to look at every day.
We buy it every year and enjoy it very much.
