This short, very sweet translation of selected passages in Old Irish texts gives a sharp insight into the deities of the ancient Irish. Often when reading translations I wonder what liberties were taken, or rather, what choices a translator has been forced to make when faced with materials that can be interpreted in various ways. Daimler sticks as closely as possible to the original texts, letting us know when she has had to choose between two interpretations, and thus adding a sparkle of light to these fascinating writings.

This dual language pocket book represents a collection of new translations of several Irish myths. Each story is first presented in the original Old Irish and then in English so that a reader can experience the story as it existed in the original before reading a new translation. Many of the existing translations are around a hundred years old, and often either exclude material or else skew the retelling to fit the mores of a more Victorian audience. The translations included here in stories including Angus's Dream to the Taking of the Sidhe are an attempt to find a balance between a more literal translation that is still enjoyable to an English speaking audience. All material focuses on the stories of the Irish Gods, the Tuatha De Danann. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
