Book Description:
"This is Kuno Meyer's translation of the old Irish saga, the Voyage of Bran. In this magical odyssey to the limits of reality, Bran takes a characteristically time-dilated journey to a distant isle of luxury. On return, he learns that ages have passed and he and his expedition have already passed into myth. He can never again touch the soil of his homeland and sails off again. The text references ancient Celtic gods and also contains quasi-prophetic passages added at a later date by Christian scribes.
The appendices contain extracts from other Irish texts about Mongan, who is mentioned in the Bran saga, the son of Manannan mac Lir, the Celtic sea-god. This is of interest because of the descriptions of the training of bards, and lore of human visits to the Sidhe, the fairies." (Quote from sacred-texts.com)

About the Author:
"Kuno Meyer (20 December 1858 - 11 October 1919) was a German scholar, distinguished in the field of Celtic literature.
Born in Hamburg, Meyer studied at the University of Leipzig, taught by Ernst Windisch from 1879. He received his doctorate for his thesis Eine irische Version der Alexandersage (An Irish version of the Alexander Romance) in 1884. He then took up the post of lecturer in Teutonic languages at the new University College, Liverpool, the precursor of the University of Liverpool, established three years earlier.
He continued to publish on Irish and more general Celtic language topics, as well as producing textbooks for the German language. In 1896 he founded, and jointly edited with Ludwig Christian Stern, the authoritative Zeitschrift fur celtische Philologie.
In 1904 Meyer became Professor in the Celtic Languages at the Royal Irish Academy and editor of Eriu, the journal of the School of Irish Learning in Dublin (which later part of the Royal Irish Academy, and is now part of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies). He was made a freeman of both Dublin and Cork in 1912. In 1912 a volume of Miscellany was presented to him by pupils and friends in honor of his election to the chair of Celtic at the University of Berlin.
On the outbreak of the First World War, Meyer left Ireland for the United States of America, where he lectured at Columbia and then, in November 1914, to Clan na Gael on Long Island. Meyer's pro-German opinions caused predictable outrage in Britain and Ireland, and as a result he was removed from the roll of freemen in Dublin and Cork and removed from his Honorary Professorship of Celtic at Liverpool.
Meyer remained in the United States, where he met Florence Lewis in 1915 while in hospital in California. They married shortly afterwards. Florence went to Germany in 1916, Meyer in 1917. Meyer died on 11 October, 1919, in Leipzig." (Quote from wikipedia.org)
