Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Best known as one of the leading Irish poets of her generation, Paula Meehan is also an accomplished and much-admired playwright, and her stage work has been performed by, among others, Team Theatre Company, Rough Magic, Calypso Theatre Company and The National Theatre Company at the Peacock.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Maurice Scully was born in Dublin in 1952 and spent his childhood between Clare, the Ring Gaeltacht (or Irish-speaking part of Ireland) and Dublin.
