Antain Mac Lochlainn, best-selling author of Cuir Gaeilge Air!, provides here not just a compendium of superb examples of translation, but an Irish-language book of quotations with a world frame of reference. The range of world literature which has been translated since the language revival is impressive and gems of understanding, wisdom, apoplexy, put-downs from authors from every time and place sit happily alongside each other.
An invaluable aid for the journalist, speechwriter, author and anyone who enjoys well-chosen language.
