The Countess Cathleen

Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of a devastating famine in Ireland, this verse drama explores the struggles of a poor family as they scavenge for food. The arrival of Countess Cathleen brings unexpected twists, as the family initially mocks her presence, oblivious to the profound impact she will have on their lives. W.B. Yeats weaves themes of sacrifice, desperation, and the supernatural into a poignant narrative that reflects the harsh realities of the time while also delving into the complexities of human nature.
