Books, Maps & Other Resources Genealogy & History More Canadian Resources | More Quebec Resources BOOK - The Voyage of The Naparima, by J.J. Mangan.
There is a gentleness about this book that belies the horror of the underlying facts. Gerald Keegan's diary, which id the soul of the book, is a distillation of the centuries that preceded Yeats' "A Terrible Beauty". The young man who was sensitive to the beauty of language and poetry, evident in his phrasing; sensitive to humanity, evident in his love for his students and his expressions of grief after his young wife died; sensitive to the cause of justice in his last wish that his diary go out to the world; this young man is the other side of the coin of Irish pain.We have become too familiar, almost bored, with violence in Ireland to the point where we cannot see "other side of the coin"- look backwards into the history that made people, look around us at the humane efforts that are being exercised by Irish men and women and their descendants around the globe in the cause of justice. 154pp., Soft Cover, 6" x 9",1999, ISBN 0-9690805-2-2.
