Book description
In this powerful, evocative collection, master storyteller John
O'Donohue explores themes of love and loss, beginnings and endings.
Inspired by the ancient wisdom of the Celtic tradition and the rugged,
majestic landscape of his birth, the west of Ireland, here he also
creates a unique vision of a place and time, and the echo of a memory
that will never fade. John O'Donohue, Ph. D., was born in County Clare
in 1956. He spoke Gaelic as his native language and lived in a remote
cottage in the west of Ireland until his untimely death in January 2008.
A highly respected poet and philosopher, he lectured in Europe and
America and wrote a number of international bestsellers:
Anam Cara, Eternal Echoes, Divine Beauty
and Benedictus,
which he completed shortly before he died.
He also wrote two collections of poetry, Conamara Blues
and Echoes of Memory
, his first published work.
