Around the year 1749, a young Irishman named Peter Kerrivan deserted the British Navy by jumping ship in a small fishing village on the east coast of the Avalon Peninsula of New Founde Lande. The Society of Masterless Men follows the true story of Kerrivan and a ragtag band of young Irish runaways as they are forced to live together in a remote, unsettled area of the island known as the ’Butter Pot.’ Running from harsh slave-like conditions imposed upon them by cruel fishing masters and brutish naval officers, this small group of deserters learn to survive the harsh and unforgiving environment of a yet untamed land. As the men become a society unto themselves, they survive by trading with the indigenous people and by raiding the homes and fishing rooms of local citizens. This is first and foremost a love story. It is the tale of Peter Kerrivan and his fierce love for his friends and his newfound home, exceeded only by his undying love for freedom. It is also a story of reckless romantic love, as Peter finds himself charmed by the well-bred English lady Abigail, fiancée to the very man leading the hunt to try to capture his men: Englishman Sir James Freeman. As the Society’s infamy and renown spreads rapidly across the Avalon Peninsula, Kerrivan’s secret affair with Abigail puts his life and the lives of his small community in great danger. The Society of Masterless Men is an exciting tribute to the human will to survive, to our need for community and belonging, and to our innate desire to triumph over tyranny and oppression. It is also a tribute to Irish Canadians and immigrants from other cultures, many of whom were forced to come to Newfoundland and Labrador. It is a nod to their undying spirit that, perhaps unknowingly, has become the backbone of the greatest province in Canada.

“A fast-moving swinging story of intrigue, suspense, action, and mayhem . . . [the] characters are all colorful rogues” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). In rugged, remote Newfoundland, a merry band of smugglers is carrying on a grand tradition, handed down over centuries. But the greatest of them all, a man named Peter Kerrivan, is now in the sights of the authorities, from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to the American DEA. Centered around a multimillion-dollar cargo of pot on a creaky freighter and offering a high-seas romp spanning from Colombia to Miami to the North Atlantic, High Crimes is “a gripping novel . . . with a thrilling triple-twist conclusion” from an author who has won both the Arthur Ellis Award and the Dashiell Hammett Prize (Mystery News).

Galore written by Michael Crummey and has been published by Hachette UK this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-03-15 with Fiction categories.

An intricate family saga and love story spanning two centuries, Galore is a portrait of the improbable medieval world that was rural Newfoundland, a place almost too harrowing and extravagant to be real. Remote and isolated, exposed to savage extremes of climate and fate, the people of Paradise Deep persist in a realm where the line between the everyday and the otherworldly is impossible to distinguish. Propelled by the disputes and alliances, grievances and trade-offs that bind the Sellers and Devine families through generations, Galore is alive with singular characters, and an uncommon insight into the complexities of human nature. Sprawling and intimate, stark and fantastical, Galore is a novel about the power of stories to shape and sustain us. This is Michael Crummey's most ambitious and accomplished work to date.

Using an interdisciplinary and transhistorical framework this book examines the cultural, material, and symbolic articulations of Irish migration relationships from the medieval period through to the contemporary post-Celtic Tiger era. With attention to people’s different uses of social space, relationships with and memories of the landscape, as well as their symbolic expressions of diasporic identity, Heritage, Diaspora and the Consumption of Culture examines the different forms of diaspora over time and contributes to contemporary debates on home, foreignness, globalization and consumption. By examining various movements of people into and out of Ireland, the book explores how expressions of cultural capital and symbolic power have changed over time in the Irish collective imagination, shedding light on the ways in which Ireland is represented and Irish culture consumed and materialized overseas. Arranged around the themes of home and location, identity and material culture, and global culture and consumption, this collection brings together the work of scholars from the UK, Ireland, Europe, the US and Canada, to explore the ways in which the processes of movement affect the people’s negotiation and contestation of concepts of identity, the local and the global. As such, it will appeal to scholars working in fields such as sociology, politics, cultural studies, history and archaeology, with interests in migration, gender studies, diasporic identities, heritage and material culture.
