The Easter Rising in 1916 was pivotal to the emergence of an independent Ireland. Only supported by a minority of the Irish population, the courage and sacrifice of those who led it would in time change their nation's destiny. The story of how less than two thousand Irish men and women bravely confronted the might of the British army in Dublin remains one of the most compelling in Irish history. This pictorial account outlines the course of events that led to the Rising, and describes the military actions across Dublin during Easter Week, followed by the executions of the insurgent leadership. Illustrations and photographs from the collection of the National Museum of Ireland and other archival sources help relate the events and leading personalities of the 1916 Rising

"Ireland is a feast for the eyes and for the spirit. For more than six thousand years, this island set like a jewel at the edge of the Atlantic has been inhabited by people who appreciated its special qualities, both physical and spiritual. Here is a land where the past is more than palpable. The past is to be seen, touched, climbed, explored, experienced. Glen and mountain and valley are peopled with memories that will not die, and spirits that are not extinguished. In a world which seems constantly in flux, some aspects of Ireland are changeless. Dublin is a modern European city, yet only a few miles away, the wind blows across Tara hill as it has done since before the dawn of history, and sheep graze on the grass where once walked the magic people, the Tuatha De Danann." Michael Scott, Irish author

Irish novelist, short-story writer and poet, James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (1882—1941), is regarded as one of the greatest, most innovative literary talents of the twentieth century Joyce revolutionized the structure of the modern novel.Chain her Music (1907), Dubline(1914) and A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man (1914—15) were widely acclaimed. Ills seminal work, Ulysses (1922) provoked violent reactions. Its explicitness, groundbreaking interior monologues and complex references were heralded as genius by some but deemed obscene by others. In Finnegan c Wake (1939), he stretched language to its very limits, combining portmanteau words with the stream of consciousness narrative established in Ulysses, in an extremely difficult style which still never lost sight of comedy and lyricism.Unconventional in his writing and in his life, Joyce left a legacy that has shaped the novel as we know it, yet has never been matched.
