Alain le Garsmeur Bücher

At once a marvelous visual record, a valuable introduction to the poet's work, and a stimulating companion for those who already know and love it, Images of Ireland, with the superb photographs of Alain Le Garsmeur, makes Yeats' Ireland come to life. The photos accompany a succession of key extracts from the poet's verses, plays, essays, and memoirs--passages that evoke the landscape he loved. Includes a brief chronology of Yeats' life. 44 color photographs, 53 duotones.

This volume explores the narrow gauge and miniature railways found in some of the most beautiful parts of Britain. John Timpson describes ten feature lines with the aid of photography. While lines such as the Ffestiniog Railway are now run purely as tourist attractions, there are still working lines like the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch, and Talyllyn. Names like Polar Bear, Norfolk Hero, and Holy War conjure up the lost world of steam and diesel engines.

Lavishly illustrated with b&w and color photographs by Alain Le Garsmeur. About 9.5 inches tall by 12 wide, 190 pages, index, photo endpapers.
