Synopsis The New Yorker Stories by : Morley Callaghan
In 1928, just after he published his first novel, Morley Callaghan asked his editor, "Do you think The New Yorker would be a good magazine for my stories? They have never printed fiction before, but are going to start with that story of mine called 'An Escapade.'" Through these short stories from Callaghan--whom Ernest Hemingway compared to James Joyce--readers will realize just how good a fit is was.

Synopsis Raise You on the River by : Barry Callaghan
The modern-day raconteur who deftly samples the movement, colour, and sensuality of people, places and times with a geographical range of language that is voluptuous, erotic, and even fanciful. For some six decades Barry Callaghan has been a singular presence in Canada. His distinctive literary style, tone and temperament reveal him to be an inquisitive observer, thoughtful commentator, and assiduous craftsman celebrated for his sharp intellect and startling imagination. Always attuned to the history of the place and in covert search of adventure, he is also a public scholar, unflinching before the harsh complexities of our time. Raise You on the River is the fourth volume of essays from Canada's Man of Letters, and takes the series to new heights - following the critically acclaimed Raise You Twenty (2011), Raise You Ten (2006) and Raise You Five (2005).

Synopsis Life Sentences by : Billy O'Callaghan
*THE #3 IRISH BESTSELLER* 'Momentous and epic' BERNARD MACLAVERTY 'Superb and moving' JOHN BANVILLE 'A lovely, piercing book' SEBASTIAN BARRY Three generations. More than a century of famine, war, violence and love. At sixteen Nancy, the only member of her family to survive the Great Famine, leaves her small island for the mainland. Finding work in a grand house on the edge of Cork City, she feels irrepressibly drawn to the charismatic gardener Michael Egan, sparking a love affair that soon throws her into a fight for her life. In 1920, Nancy's son Jer has lived through battles of his own as a soldier in the Great War. Now drunk in a jail cell, he struggles to piece together where he has come from, and who he wants to be. And in the early 1980s, Jer's youngest child Nellie is nearing the end of her life in a council house, moments away from her childhood home; remembering the night when she and her family stole back something that was rightfully theirs, she imagines what lies in store for those who will survive her.

Synopsis Clan Callaghan by : Joseph F O Callaghan
This extremely well-researched history of a County Cork sept traces its origins from Cellachan of Cashel, the tenth-century king of Munster, down to modern times. As the English extended their rule over Ireland in the 16th century, more abundant historical data presents a detailed picture of the territory occupied by the sept and the activities of its chieftains. Steady encroachment by English adventurers and speculators, however, imposed severe pressure on the Gaelic way of life. As a consequence of the rebellion of 1641 and the subsequent conquest by Oliver Cromwell, O Callaghan lands were confiscated and the chieftain and his family were transplanted to County Clare. The Confiscated lands were allotted toCromwell's soldiers as a reward for their service. Although some O Callaghans retained their estates by conforming to the Established Church, the majority, who remained on the land as tenants of English landlords, adhered to the Catholic Church. At the end of the 17th century the departure of many Irish soldiers for the continent, where they achieved renown in the service of the kings of France and Spain, deprived the common people of Ireland of their natural leaders. The Penal Laws of the 18th century throttled the Catholic people and condemned many to a life of servitude and poverty. In the early 19th century Catholic Emancipation relieved some of that burden, and the struggle over the land later in the century resulted in the Land Acts that put an end to landlordism and gave tenants a full right of ownership. The restoration of their dignity paved the way to future prosperity. Despite hundreds of years of penury and subjection, the native resilience and intelligence of the O Callaghans has enabled many proud bearers of the name to achieve distinction in nearly every area of human endeavor.

Synopsis Such Is My Beloved by : Morley Callaghan
One of the great novels of the 1930s, Such Is My Beloved recounts the tragic story of two down-and-out prostitutes and the young priest who aspires to redeem their lives. The novel is at once a compassionate portrait of innocence and idealism, and an emphatic condemnation of a society where the lines between good and evil are essentially blurred. Such Is My Beloved is widely considered to be Morley Callaghan’s finest novel.
