A Radiant Life
A Radiant Life presents the unequivocal voice of Nuala O'Faolain tackling a vast range of subjects from Catholicism to feminism, from Sinatra to Africa, and from Irish American culture to Islam and the West. Curious and funny, tender and scathing, O'Faolain's columns were never less than trenchant and were always passionate. "I was blinded by the habit of translating everything into personal terms," she writes apologetically, but this is the power of her journalism. Through the prism of casual, everyday encounters, O'Faolain presses her subject, reaching beyond the prompting of the moment to transcend topicality. The result is a cumulative historical narrative, an inadvertent chronicle of a transformed Ireland by one of its sharpest observers and canniest wkkk.net for A Radiant Life:"This book is a gift." -The Boston GlobeLove So Rare

人的一生,大部分时间都在工作。对普通人而言,工作是他们最普通的生存状态。人之为人,都应当乐意并有能力去工作。诚实劳动的人认为要生存就必须工作;其实,对于一切生存着的和处于各种社会关系中的人来说,同样如此。当别人辛勤劳动的时候,怎么会有人游手好闲呢?那他怎么能保住自己的社会地位、赢得荣誉并承担责任呢?工作是最好的老师,它迫使每个人和其他人以及现实的社会打交道。如果我们研究名人传记,就会发现:那些最伟大的人都是那些在工作中最勤奋刻苦的人;都是那些在科学研究中孜孜不倦的人;都是那些在自己的工作岗位上顽强拼搏的人。实际上,人类的知识、才干和社会的进步、文明,都源自人的体力和脑力劳动。Station Island
The title poem from this collection is set on an island that has been a site of pilgrimage in Ireland for over a thousand years. A narrative sequence, it is an autobiographical quest concerned with 'the growth of a poet's mind'. The long poem is preceded by a section of shorter lyrics and leads into a third group of poems in which the poet's voice is at one with the voice of the legendary mad King Sweeney. 'Surpasses even what one might reasonably expect from this magnificently gifted poet.' John Carey, Sunday Times
