The Aran Islands by JM Synge

An awesome book by the wonderful Irish author of Playboy of the Western World. A memorable recounting of the author's time with the rustic people of the Aran Islands off the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.  He really made the lives and culture of these people relateable and fascinating.

By the way, got to see one of the very old original copies of this book at Trinity College in Dublin.
