„Irland ist ein Fest für die Augen und den Geist. Seit mehr als sechstausend Jahren liegt diese Insel wie ein Juwel am Rand des Atlantiks und ist von Menschen bewohnt, die seine besonderen Qualitäten wertzuschätzen wissen, sowohl körperlich als auch spirituell. Es ist ein Land, in der die Vergangenheit mehr als greifbar ist. Die Vergangenheit kann erblickt, angefasst, erklommen, entdecket und durchlebt werden. Schluchten, Berge und Täler sind bevölkert mit Erinnerungen, die nicht aussterben werden, und Geistern, die nicht ausgelöscht werden. In einer Welt, die in konstanter Veränderung zu leben scheint, sind einige Aspekte Irlands unveränderlich. Dublin ist eine moderne europäische Stadt und dennoch weht der Wind einige Kilometer weiter über den Tara-Hügel, wie er es schon seit Anbeginn der Zeit tut. Schafe weiden auf dem Gras, über das einst das Volk der Danu, das Tuatha De Danann, wandelte.“

«Irlanda es un festival para los sentidos y para el espíritu. Durante más de seis mil años, esta isla, una joya en el extremo del Atlántico, ha sido habitada por pueblos que apreciaban sus cualidades especiales, tanto físicas como espirituales. En esta tierra, el pasado es más que tangible; el pasado tiene que ser visto, tocado, escalado, explorado, experimentado. Los glen, las montañas y los valles están plagados de recuerdos que no morirán y espíritus que no se extinguirán. En un mundo que parece estar en constante movimiento, algunos aspectos de Irlanda permanecen sin cambios. Dublín es una ciudad europea moderna y, sin embargo, a tan solo unos kilómetros, el viento sopla a través de la colina de Tara como lo ha hecho desde los albores de las historia y las ovejas pastan en el césped en el que en otros tiempos caminaron los seres mágicos, los Tuatha De Danann».

Las fotografías de Liam Blake ofrecen un archivo visual inigualable de las maravillas de Irlanda y de la vida cotidiana de su gente. A lo largo de los años, su trabajo para la colección de postales de Real Ireland ha su puesto un logro artístico significativo y ha influido en la imagen que tienen del país tanto el público como otros fotógrafos. En este libro, sus fotografías muestran una amplia variedad de  experiencias que se pueden disfrutar en Irlanda y que abarcan desde pequeños detalles de la vida diaria hasta paisajes panorámicos espectaculares. Su visión y su entendimiento del paisaje de Irlanda y de su gente son el principal motor de este libro.

« L’Irlande est un régal pour les yeux et l’esprit. Pendant plus de six mille ans, cette île posée comme un bijou au bord de l’Atlantique a été habitée par des peuples qui appréciaient ses qualités physiques et spirituelles particulières. Voici une terre ou le passé est plus que palpable. Ce passé s’offre à être touché, remonté, examiné, et vécu. Glens, vallées et montagnes sont non seulement peuplées par des souvenirs qui ne mourront pas, mais aussi par des esprits qui ne sont pas oubliés. Dans un monde qui semble être en situation de flux constant, quelques aspects de l’Irlande ne changent jamais. Dublin est une ville européenne moderne, mais seulement à quelques kilomètres, le vent souffle sur Tara comme cela s’est fait au début de l’histoire, et des moutons broutent l’herbe sur lequel le peuple magique marchait, le Tuatha De Danann. »

The Irish Pub is a unique institution, without any real equivalent elsewhere. Some may speak of Irish Christianity or literature as being the great contribution of our wet little island to the greater world beyond these shores. The true connoisseur of Irish culture knows, however, that these are pale shadows compared to the worldwide influence of our public houses and alcoholic beverages.

“Those who don’t know Irish pubs, and the interesting people who frequent them, will always possess only a superficial knowledge of Irish life and culture. The Irish pub is not only an excellent guide to many attractive centres of celebration; it is also a helpful and civilised introduction to higher education in a convivial atmosphere. This is a necessary text for all those in search of enlightenment and laughter.”
