Banner Books Ltd - Thirty-Two Words For Field

The Irish language has thirty-two words for field. Every word has layers of wisdom and insight encoded in it that allow us to delve deeper into the psyche and landscape of this island. The Irish language evolved before mankind decided to limit reality to the parameters of the rational mind, with the result that it holds on to some essential attributes of life that we risk forgetting. In Thirty-two Words for Field, Manchan Magan meditates on old Irish words - and the nuances of a way of life that is vanishing with them.
