Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - He survived two shipwrecks. He was tattooed over most of his body against his will. He married a Pacific island chief's daughter, fought in a canoe war, and discovered the ruins of a lost civilisation that nobody in the Western world knew existed.He also saved his own life by dancing an Irish jig.James F. O'Connell was a real man, and every word of this story is true.Born in Dublin in 1808, O'Connell ran away to sea at twelve, survived the wreck of a whaling vessel off the Australian coast, spent eight months walking through Aboriginal Australia, shipped again, was wrecked again on an uncharted Pacific reef, and spent seven years living among the islanders of what is now Pohnpei, Micronesia - rising to the rank of chief's son-in-law, fathering two children, and becoming the first Westerner to document the ancient megalithic ruins now known as Nan Madol, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.This enhanced edition takes O'Connell's extraordinary 1845 memoir - long buried in digital archives and nearly unreadable due to poor OCR scanning - and restores it to the gripping adventure narrative it always was. Every error corrected. Every scene sharpened.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1847, as Ireland was being devastated by the Great Famine, one American ship sailed not to profit from suffering, but to relieve it. Errand of Mercy recounts the extraordinary voyage of the USS Jamestown, a former warship stripped of its guns and sent across the Atlantic with food, clothing, and hope for the starving people of Ireland. Drawn from the original public domain account by Captain Robert Bennet Forbes, this edition brings back into view one of the most remarkable and least remembered episodes in Irish-American history. The Jamestown's mission was no act of empire or conquest. It was a civilian-led effort of conscience, charity, and practical compassion, carried out at a moment when millions faced hunger, disease, and displacement. This modern edition has been prepared for today's reader while preserving the force and character of the original narrative. Obsolete spellings and outdated phrasing have been updated for clarity, and editorial notes have been added to explain historical references and deepen context. The result is a more accessible edition of a powerful firsthand account from the age of sail, famine, and transatlantic relief. At its heart, this is a story about moral action in a time of catastrophe. It is the story of a ship, a captain, and a mission that helped awaken a wider movement of humanitarian aid. It is also a story of the enduring bond between Ireland and America, forged not only through migration and memory, but through mercy. For readers of Irish history, maritime history, famine studies, and nineteenth-century Atlantic history, Errand of Mercy restores an important chapter of the past and reminds us what one determined act of service can mean in the life of a nation.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ireland's forgotten book of wisdom: how to rule, how to judge, and how to live, in the words of its greatest legendary king.Long before anyone in Ireland read Marcus Aurelius, Irish scholars set down the advice of Cormac mac Airt, the wisest High King of Tara, to his son. The Instructions of Cormac is short, sharp and surprisingly modern: firmness without anger, patience without strife, never speak of anyone in his absence, and seventeen signs of a bad argument that you'll recognise from every meeting you've ever sat through.This edition gives you the complete text in Kuno Meyer's classic 1909 translation, with clear commentary on every section. It explains what each line meant in early Ireland and what it can still mean for you.…
