Connemara: The Last Pool of Darkness

Connemara: The Last Pool of Darkness by Tim Robinson. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781844881550.

The first volume of Tim Robinsons Connemara trilogy, "Listening to the Wind", covered Robinsons home territory of Roundstone and environs. "The Last Pool of Darkness" moves into wilder territory: the fjords, cliffs, hills and islands of north-west Connemara, a place that Wittgenstein, who lived on his own in a cottage there for a time, called the last pool of darkness in Europe. Again, combining his polymathic knowledge of Connemaras natural history, human history, folklore and topography with his own unsurpassable artistry as a writer, Tim Robinson has produced another classic.
