Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Return of the Hero' is a brilliant and satirical exploration of Irish mythology and the inevitable clash between ancient pagan values and the dawn of Christianity. The narrative follows the legendary Fenian hero OisÃ-n upon his return to Ireland after spending three centuries in the magical realm of TÃ-r na nÃ'g. To his dismay, he finds a land transformed, where the heroic feats of the Fianna have been replaced by the austere teachings and rituals of the Church.The core of the novel consists of a series of witty and profound dialogues between OisÃ-n and Saint Patrick. Through these spirited exchanges, Darrell Figgis juxtaposes the joy, courage, and naturalism of the old world with the moral complexities and dogma of the new. While OisÃ-n recounts the grand adventures and noble spirits of Fionn mac Cumhaill and his warriors, Saint Patrick attempts to guide the legendary hero toward a Christian salvation he barely understands.Rich in atmosphere and intellectual depth, 'The Return of the Hero' serves as both a tribute to the Fenian Cycle and a sharp-witted critique of social and religious institutionalism. It remains a significant work of the Irish Literary Revival, offering readers a unique blend of epic fantasy, philosophical debate, and timeless folklore.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Return of the Hero' is a satirical and imaginative exploration of Irish mythology, centering on the legendary return of OisÃ-n from the land of eternal youth, TÃ-r na nÃ'g. Finding himself in an Ireland transformed by the arrival of Christianity, OisÃ-n encounters Saint Patrick, leading to a profound and often humorous clash between the ancient pagan ideals of the Fenian warriors and the new moral order of the Church.Darrell Figgis masterfully weaves traditional lore with sharp philosophical inquiry, presenting a series of dialogues that interrogate the nature of heroism, faith, and the passage of time. The narrative captures the spirit of the Irish Literary Revival, breathing new life into the figures of Finn MacCumhaill and his companions through a modern literary lens. This work stands as a significant contribution to Celtic literature, blending the grandeur of epic legends with the nuance of early 20th-century fiction.Readers will find a compelling meditation on the loss of a mythical golden age and the enduring power of cultural memory. With its rich prose and deep roots in the Fenian Cycle, 'The Return of the Hero' remains a timeless classic of Irish storytelling and an essential text for those interested in the intersection of folklore and literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
