The Height of Nonsense

Autor Paul Clements
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2005
'Forsake all twenty-first-century Celtic superhighways in favour of boreens' So says Paul Clements as he sets off to visit the highest point in each of Ireland's 32 counties. Travelling on the GMRs (Great Mountain Roads), Paul spends time with the eccentric and quaint, who teach him that Irish culture is defined by our connection to the landscape.
