The is a collection of poems of the Scots-Gaelic poet, father of the Gaelic Renaissance, presented in parallel text with Sorley MacLean's own translations of his work throughout. His first book, mainly of love poems, was published in Gaelic in 1943. He combined traditional and modern elements and explored the conflict between public responsibility and private passions and needs. This book, and the figure of MacLean himself, are at the heart of the Gaelic Renaissance. His later work develops these themes in a specifically Gaelic setting. His most celebrated single poem, "Hallaig" is one of several major achievements to be found in the collections.

and his (early) leftist politics may turn off those who cannot see anything else, this is a passionate and often gripping work. It is, I think, well worth reading. I first encountered the author in the DVD "The Celts." I do not have the Gaelic language, but his English translations sign.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like new, but second hand

Bought second hand because it is no longer in print, this book was in excellent condition and perfect for the gift I bought it as. A beautifully displayed collection of Sorley Maclean's works using his own English translation from the Gaelic, as well as his original Gaelic verse.
