Sinossi
Written by one of Ireland's greatest historical and literary figures, socialist, republican and novelist, Peader O'Donnell. 'Islanders' is an epic story of life in a small island community of Donegal.Islanders is a story of epic simplicity, of people who confront in their daily lives hunger, poverty and death.'Islanders would be worth reading merely as a description of the lives of the poor on a wild, barren and beautiful coast, on which two bucketfuls of winkles may be a considerable addition to the wealth of the home … it is also a piece of heroic literature and as we read it we can positively rejoice in the heroism of human beings who can force a living from the rocks and live in charity with one another among the uncharitable stones' - Robert Lynd.
