Revived at Ballybrit, about three miles from Galway city, in 1869, the Galway Races has grown from a small country meeting into the fourth largest horse racing festival in the world. Its feature races--the Galway Steeplechase Plate and the Galway Hurdle--have a rich history, and owners, trainers, and jockeys love to have winners at Galway, where in those brief few minutes after the victory they all enjoy "one crowded hour of glorious life." This book contains an account of the origin and development of the Galway Races and people and horses that were part of this amazing story. Fred Cullen's feat of training all five winners on the card, the first English-trained winner at the meeting in 1904, the panic in Galway when the government announced the centralization of racing during the Great War, and the U-turn that followed when it was realized that the economy of the city depended on the races. The great Galway trainers, including Harry Ussher, Maxie Arnott, Dermot Weld, and Noel Meade; the leading owners, Charles Blake, Pansy Croft, Michael Smurfit; and the famous riders, including Gary Moore, Tommy Beasley, Joe Canty, and Michael Kinane all feature in this book. Events covered also include the winner of the Galway Hurdle that was disqualified because the owner did not pay the entry fee; the angry weather that caused the abandonment of the old Tuam program when run at Galway for the first time; and the changing face of Ireland in the early 1960s, which caught out the Race Committee.

The latest Jack Taylor novel from the Godfather of Irish noir. After too much tragedy and violence, Jack Taylor might have at long last found contentment. Of course, he still knocks back too much Jameson and dabbles in uppers, but he has a new woman in his life, a freshly bought apartment, and little sign of trouble on the horizon, unless you count looking after his girlfriend's spoilt nine-year-old. But once again, trouble comes to him, this time in the form of wealthy Frenchman Pierre Renaud, who wants Jack to investigate the double murder of his twin sons. Entitled, drug-addled, les enfants terribles were bound to a wheelchair, mouths glued shut and pushed off the pier. He shouldn't, but Jack reluctantly agrees to investigate and it opens the door to the past again... 'Nobody writes like Ken Bruen, with his lilting Irish prose and his taste for the gallows humor' NEW YORK TIMES. 'As good a read as you'll come across this year' IRISH INDEPENDENT. 'A gritty, brutal tale told with its author's typical lyricism' DAILY MAIL. 'Bruen is on top form' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.

A Yeats Dictionary written by Lester I. Conner and has been published by Syracuse University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999-01-01 with Literary Criticism categories.
This is the first dictionary to identify, chart, and explain in context the many proper names and place names that so famously enrich the poetry of William Butler Yeats and, just as famously, anchor that poetry to Ireland. In compiling this work, Lester I. Conner has relied upon Yeats's own prose, the principal Yeats criticism, and the writings of Yeats's friends and critics. The result is a work that warmly ushers us into the poems, where we find we are not strangers after all.
