The Táin by Anonim Pdf

The Táin Bó Cuailnge, centre-piece of the eighth-century Ulster cycle of heroic tales, is Ireland's greatest epic. It tells the story of a great cattle-raid, the invasion of Ulster by the armies of Medb and Ailill, queen and king of Connacht, and their allies, seeking to carry off the great Brown Bull of Cuailnge. The hero of the tale is Cuchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, who resists the invaders single-handed while Ulster's warriors lie sick. Thomas Kinsella presents a complete and living version of the story. His translation is based on the partial texts in two medieval manuscripts, with elements from other versions, and adds a group of related stories which prepare for the action of the Táin. Illustrated with brush drawings by Louis le Brocquy, this edition provides a combination of medieval epic and modern art.

The Táin by T. Vermont Pdf

The mythology of Ireland is often overlooked, but it is one of the richest of all, due to the Irish knack for storytelling, the uniqueness of the Irish language, and the historically robust defense of Irish identity and national character. At the heart of this folkloric saga is the Ulster Cycle and the one-man army of Cúchulainn-a chariot warrior who precedes every superhero in strength and invincibility. In this new edition of the tales, a road map allows for easy navigation through this magnificent collection, so that the confusion is cleared up, and we are better equipped to understand the beauty of Irish mythology.

Aspects of the Táin by J. P. Mallory Pdf

Publisher description: The account of Cú Chulainn's single-handed defence of Ulster against the assembled armies of Queen Medb of Connacht is recognized as the centrepiece of Irish heroic epic as well as a mine of information about the behaviour and beliefs of early Irish. This text attempts to bring together for the modern reader an account of the historical development of the tale, how it succeeds or fails as literature, and to what extent it is a 'window on the Iron Age'.

The Tain of the Mirror by Rodolphe Gasché Pdf

Deconstruction is no game of mirrors, revealing the text as a play of surface against surface. Its more radical philosophical effort is to get behind the mirror and question the very nature of reflection. The Tain of the Mirror explores that gritty surface without which no reflection would be possible.
