Lead Us into Temptation
Language: English
Published by Dufour Editions, Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 1992
ISBN 10: 1853711209 ISBN 13: 9781853711206
Soft cover. Condition: Good. It is the Easter weekend of 1949, the date of the declaration of the Irish Republic, but in the city of 'Ballycastle', Martin Melody, the pub-crawling university student, and his disreputable friends are too busy drinking and lusting after girls to pay much attention to this political development. O hEithir, drawing upon rich personal experiences of life in the west of Ireland, paints a rackety picture using sniffy landladies, crackpot academics, hectoring clergymen, dolled-up virgins, and dockside down-and-outs, among other hilarious characters. A nephew of Liam O'Flaherty, he was one of Ireland's most evocative and waggish novelists of modern times and this was the first Irish-language novel to lead the best-seller list in Ireland. He died in 1990.

ISBN 10: 0710000308 ISBN 13: 9780710000309
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

First Edition
hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. London. 1978. Routledge Kegan Paul. 1st Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0710000308. 148 pages. hardcover. Inscribed by the Author. keywords: Europe Ireland Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - This translation of O hEithir's award-winning Irish novel, Lig Sinn i gCathu will introduce English readers to a writer who is currently being hailed as one of the most original talents to have appeared on the Irish literary scene for many years. The action of the novel takes place during the weekend of Easter 1949, when the Republic of Ireland was officially brought into being. The central character, Martin Melody, a university student, has his own personal problems: his father is dying, his state scholarship is being withheld because of non-attendance at lectures, his mother and his brother (a priest) are putting pressure on him to return to the family business and his girlfriend is pestering him because of his attitude to religion and the low company he keeps. Through Martin and his totally disreputable companion, Billy O'Grady, we get to know the political, social and religious life of the community. Politics and religion are inextricably mixed up but to most of the townspeople both are a charade. The hurling match for the Republican Cup never starts for an old feud has to be completed. The Bishop, to avoid taking sides in a political argument about the new Republic, preaches a sermon about emigration. The official ceremony turns into a farce and the newly-unveiled memorial is blown up by an IRA hard-liner who blows himself to pieces in the attempt. An old IRA friend of Martin's father turns up from America and gives Martin an opportunity of leaving Ireland, at least temporarily, but not before he has discovered the joy of physical love in the arms of a young and uninhibited barmaid. inventory #6066 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. Inscribed by the Author.
