Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Poor. 1st Edition. (Dustjacket is tattered but now in protective Brodart mylar. Book itself is excellent. Original owner's name inside). ########## AMONG THE MOST PROFOUND Christian thinkers of the nineteenth century, John Henry Newman (1801-1890) has lost nothing of his importance more than a hundred years after his death. He steadfastly argued that faith and reason are deeply compatible with each other, and that, in fact, holiness of life is the only real guide to ultimate truth. He repeatedly proposed that experience, when discerned and interpreted faithfully, contributes to our human and religious growth.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In this enduring classic, renowned Irish author Sean O'Faolain offers a penetrating examination of what makes great short fiction work. Drawing from his experience as both a master practitioner and dedicated teacher of the form, O'Faolain provides aspiring writers with insights that have remained relevant for over seven decades.The heart of O'Faolain's approach lies not in technical formulas but in his insistence that good writing begins with authentic perception. Through clear-eyed analysis and memorable examples, he demonstrates why so many aspiring writers failnot for lack of technique, but because they have not truly learned to see the world around them.O'Faolain challenges the notion that ordinary lives provide insufficient material for fiction, pointing to writers like Dickens and Maupassant who transformed humble experiences into enduring literature. He argues persuasively that the bank clerk who claims to have nothing to write about has missed the essential truth: that the writer's gift lies not in extraordinary circumstances but in extraordinary awareness. His unique perspective as an Irish writer engaged with European literary traditions gives the book a broad, cosmopolitan outlook. 'The Short Story' stands alongside Frank O'Connor's 'The Lonely Voice' as an indispensable resource for writers, readers, and scholars.Blending practical advice with philosophical depth, this vintage gem from the post-war literary renaissance stands as both a practical guide and a passionate defense of authenticity in fiction. For anyone serious about the craft of short stories, O'Faolain's candid, sometimes bracingly direct counsel remains as valuable today as when first written.

Soft cover. Etat : Good. This is "The Great O'Neill, a Biography of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, 1550 - 1616" by Seán O'Faolain, and published in 1992 by Mercier Press in trade paperback format. This book, a reprint, is once more OP. From the cover's write-up : "A vivid, fascinating picture of Elizabethan Ireland." - 'Irish Times'. "for nine years O'Neill resisted English expansion, became one of the most famous soldiers in Europe, wore out Elizabeth I, broke generals like Essex and Brough, involved Spain and Rome. Through these pages pass papal legates, government spies, great monarchs, statesmen, cutthroats, poisoners, passionate women, traitors, and brave men. But for all its drama, this book remains a work of scholarship and is likely to stand as the authoritative study of a crucial period in Irish history." ************************************* TITLE : The Great O'Neill, a Biography of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, 1550 - 1616 / AUTHOR : Seán O'Faolain (Seán Proinsias Ó Faoláin (1900 1991; born John Francis Whelan) Internationally esteemed Irish short story writer, critic, and biographer.
