Synopsis
'The Loneliest Boy in the World he has only seagulls as playmates.' 1949 newspaper article. Gearóid Cheaist Ó Catháin had a unique childhood he was the last child brought up on the Blasket Islands off Ireland's southwest coast. The nearest in age was his uncle who was thirty years older. In this affectionate memoir, Gearóid recalls growing up on the island without a doctor, priest, school, church or electricity. Despite public perception of this small, vulnerable fishing community, he remembers a wonderful childhood, cherished by parents and neighbours. His memories are entwined with the beliefs and customs handed down through the generations and are an insight into life on the Blaskets. He speaks with authority of the difficulties and challenges facing the final generation on the island. The Blaskets, with their deserted, crumbling cottages, will live on, in part due to the invaluable memories of the last child of the Great Blasket Island.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Gearoid Cheaist O Cathain was the last child brought up on the Great Blasket Island off Irelands southwest coast. His childhood was unique as he was the only child on the island. The nearest in age was his uncle who was thirty years older. He became famous when a 1951 newspaper article described Gearoid as The Loneliest Boy in the World - he has only seagulls as playmates. In this affectionate memoir, he recalls growing up on the island without a doctor, priest, school, church or electricity, and a wonderful childhood, cherished by parents and neighbours. The trials and tribulations of a small, vulnerable fishing community until its evacuation are vividly related. His memories are entwined with the beliefs and customs handed down through the generations and are an insight into life on the Great Blasket and the difficulties and challenges facing the final generation. After the dramatic evacuation, in Dun Chaoin he could pursue Gaelic football, traditional music and formal schooling as the islanders settled into a new environment across the water from their deserted island. The Blaskets, of which nothing remains but crumbling cottages and windswept land, will live on, in part due to the invaluable memories of the last child of the Blasket Islands. Also available: From the Great Blasket to America by Michael Carney. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR006848073
