(An Irish-language title) A strong confident Northern voice. The Irish language is used here with classical precision and assurance. He evokes the mystique of his Donegal landscape with passion and gusto . . . This is the voice of a sophisticated contemporary craftsman. - Maire Mhac an tSaoi

Face to face Irish originals and English translations by a Donegal Gaeltacht poet rooted in traditions but startling in his modernity. Gortahork’s Cathal O Searcaigh is a poet of international renown, particularly since the publication of his bilingual collections.

Young single mother, Mags, tries to find laughter in her life again but will the past come back to haunt her? Suitable for adult learners of Irish.

Is fada muid ag fanacht ar chéad mhórshaothar próis seo Chathal Uí Shearcaigh. Cur síos atá ann ar a chuid taistil i Neipeal, agus léirítear ann an gean atá aige ar an tír agus ar a phobal.

Cuirtear tús leis an leabhar in Kathmandu, an phríomhchathair, agus tá cur síos dathannach, fileata déanta ag an Searcach uirthi agus is iomaí scéal saoithiúil atá aige dúinn faoin gcathair chéanna.

Fágann Gúrú na gCnoc an chathair ina dhiaidh ansin agus téann sé ar aistear fisiciúil agus ar aistear spioradálta trí gharbhchríocha Neipeal. Bíonn idir ghreann agus ghaois i ndán dó ar an turas. Tugtar le fios dó, mar shampla, nach maith an sloinne atá air, mar go gciallaíonn sé gur d''ísealaicme na ngréasaithe é!

Is tarraingteach an leabhar é seo, leis, le grianghraif áille agus dánta.

This travel diary is Cathal Ó Searcaigh''s long-awaited first major prose work. The book describes the charismatic Donegal poet''s travels through Nepal, and uncovers his growing love affair with the country and its people.

The book begins in the bustling capital of Kathmandu, and the author''s poetic descriptions bring to life this colourful city of contrasts and many of his experiences there will bring a smile to the reader''s lips.

The Guru of the Hills, as Cathal is known, then leaves the capital and begins a spiritual and physical journey through the mountains of Nepal and the characters that he meets along the way light up the pages of the book.

The book is beautifully produced, and includes stunning photos, as well as poems by the author.

Collected works by Cathal Ó Searcaigh including his work between 1975 and 2000. This is a poet of international renown particularly since the publication of his bilingual collections.
