Tom Flanagan Bücher

Thomas Flanagan hat sich in Amerika als Kenner der irischen Literatur und Geschichte einen Namen gemacht. In seinem Roman "Ein Traum von Freiheit" erzählt er von einem Aufstand im Jahre 1798, einem der unzähligen Aufstände der Iren gegen die Engländer. Schauplatz ist Mayo, eine ärmliche Grafschaft im Nordwesten Irlands. Die Bauern leben unter ihren Grundherren in bitterster Armut, und von den Grundherren verlangt wiederum die englische Krone hohe Abgaben. Katholiken leiden besonders unter Diskriminierungen und dürfen auch als Besitzende nur begrenzt am öffentlichen Leben teilnehmen. Flanagan will mit seinem Roman verständlich machen, wie es zu der heutigen Situation in Nordirland gekommen ist.
