St. Patrick of Ireland has been enshrined in myth and history as a benign and beloved figure, a native Irish miracle worker who drove both the snakes and the Druids from his homeland and gently issued in the age of Christianity. Nothing could be further from the truth. Magonus Succatus Patricius ("Paidrig") was of Roman heritage; captured into slavery in Ireland at the age of sixteen, he escaped at the age of twenty-two.I Am of Irelaunde takes the forty-year-old Paidrig back to the site of his shame. He is full of anger, and is determined to bring Christianity to Ireland, even if he has to beat it into the "lazy, loathesome" Irish. But something happens to change Paidrig. Something shrouded in mystery and wonder. Long before Paidrig, Ireland had been guarded by a chivalric brotherhood of warriors known as the Fianna. Osian, a leading poet/warrior of the Fianna, has been dead for 200 years. He has come by magic to Paidrig toshow him the wonder of Eire. And the stories that Paidrig hears open doors that will win Paidrig's heart and convert him into the champion of the people he once despised. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Novela Aventuras Fantástico
«Una leyenda celta» narra la apasionante historia de san Patricio de Irlanda. A mediados del siglo V, el obispo malvive en una pequeña comunidad de monjes, empeñado en predicar y convertir al cristianismo a una población belicosa y pagana. Pero Padraig, como le llaman sus feligreses, no comprende el alma del pueblo que intenta evangelizar, por lo que sus esfuerzos no se ven recompensados. Sin embargo, todo cambiará con la llegada de Osián, descendiente de una estirpe de guerreros legendarios, los Fian, y subyugante narrador de historias. Y de la mano de Oisán, Padraig realizará un itinerario espiritual y geográfico a través de las leyendas, mitos, acontecimientos y creencias de una tierra y un pueblo singulares. Una excepcional novela en la que la autora amalgama el rigor de los hechos históricos con la sugerente poesía que impregna toda la cultura celta.
