An Piarsach agus 1916: briathar, beart agus oidhreacht

"Before God created the first world, neither this world nor any other world existed..." But He didn't create the world found in the pages of this book, or if He did may some other god help us!

Mankind emerges groggily, blinking into existence in these stories, innocent as a child.

These stories are a madcap swirling frenzy in which God is a trickster and his favourite target is his new creation.

Why? Is it anger, malice or just pure spite? Who can say? These are stories reminiscent of biblical tales and we will recognise many of the characters; the likes of Lazarus and Judas Iscariot make an appearance.

Other characters populating the stories might be plucked from folklore or mythology or the Orient.

Likewise, the worlds of magic and realism are merged as Conghaile returns to his familiar stomping ground in this collection that will entice and delight deists, theists, atheists and agnostics alike. """Sular chruthaigh Dia an chad domhan n raibh an domhan seo n aon domhan eile ann..."" Ach n h an domhan seo , n ms , go bhfire Dia eicnt eile orainn.

Scalta buile, scalta mire iad seo ina n-imronn Dia cleasanna den uile chinel ar chine daonna nach bhfuil ach dreach tagtha ar an saol.

Ach ms le teann oilc n mailse n spite eicnt , is iad an cine daonna a bhonn thos leis.

Scalta iad seo a bhfuil blas an Bhobla ar chuid acu agus a bhfuil aithne againn ar chuid de na carachtair cheana fin, leithid Lazarus agus Ids Iscariot.

Carachtair eile, shlfe gur n mbaloideas n n miotaseolaocht n n Domhan Thoir fin a thinig siad: ainmhithe a bhfuil bua na cainte acu agus daoine a bhfuil ainmhithe mar thuismitheoir n mar chile acu.Sa chnuasach seo t an meascn den draocht agus den raltacht is dual don Chonghaileach go rbach trd sos.

Scalta iad seo a mbainfidh ilchreidmhigh, ainchreidmhigh agus neamhchreidmhigh araon tairbhe agus ssamh astu."
