Excerpt from Irish ImpressionsWhen I had for the first time crossed St George's Channel, and for the first time stepped out of a Dublin hotel on to St Stephen's Green, the first of all my impressions was that of a particular statue, or rather portion of a statue. I left many traditional mysteries already in my track, but they did not trouble me as did this random glimpse or vision. I have never understood why the Channel is called St George's Channel; it would seem more natural to call it St Patrick's Channel since the great missionary did almost certainly cross that unquiet sea and look up at those mysterious mountains.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Review "[T]his . . . is a gift to all interested in Ireland’s history or in the writing of G. K. Chesterton." -- Kathleen Galvas, Southern Renaissance, July 1, 2003
About the Author Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. Among his most notable books are "The Man Who Was Thursday", a metaphysical thriller, and "The Everlasting Man", a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics such as "Orthodoxy" and "Heretics". Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown". Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.

Chesterton toured Ireland in 1918, a pivotal time in Irish history, to recruit volunteers for the English cause in World War One. While Chesterton was not much of a recruiter, he did produce this fun romp through Irish culture and history which presents a stark contrast between England and Ireland. This being Chesterton, there are great jokes, odd rants and haunting phrases. This book is a fine example of Chesterton at his best as he explores Irish politics, culture and religion. Fans of Chesterton and readers looking to understand more about Irish culture will enjoy the work.The IHS version has some excellent features. Dermot Quinn offered an excellent introduction and there are some very good notes at the end of the book. The photos included in the work seem a little blurred but they do not take away from the work as a whole.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND; WHY DOES IT SEEM THEY ARE ALWAYS FIGHTING? THIS BOOK IS THE RESULT. G.K. NOT ONLY SHOWS US THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES, HE ALSO, SADLY, POINTS OUT WHERE AND WHY THEY MISUNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. ALTHOUGH A LOT OF WATER HAS PASSED UNDER THE BRIDGE SINCE THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN, THERE ARE HERE FUNDAMENTAL INSIGHTS INTO THE PROBLEMS CREATED BY ENGLAND RULING IRELAND. TODAY, EVEN THOUGH MOST OF IRELAND IS HAS IT'S OWN GOVERNMENT, EXCEPT IN THE NORTH, WHICH IS RULED OVER BY ENGLAND, OF COURSE THROUGH A LOCAL PARLIAMENT, IRELAND IS STILL ECONOMICALLY RULED BY ENGLAND. THIS BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT BEGINNING TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. RQ

I'm looking forward to it because Ireland and Chesterton are two of my favorite things. But do NOT buy this as a Kindle book. The transfer to eBook is well below standard. The page comes up sideways showing only half a page at a time. And if you turn the device, the page turns away from you. I'm not sure I can even read this thing.
