It tells the story of a giant cattle-raid  the invasion of Ulster by the armies of Medb and Ailill  queen and king of Connacht  and their allies  seeking to carry off the great Brown Bull of Cuailnge. The hero of the tale is Cchulainn  the Hound of Ulster  who single-handedly resists the invasion  whils Ulsters warriors lie sick.  Thomas Kinsellas translation is the first attempt to present a living version of the story  complete and unbowdlerized. It is based on the partial texts in two medieval manuscripts  and includes a group of related stories which prepare for the action of the Tin. Illustrated with 31 brush drawings by Louis le Brocquy and three maps  this edition combines medieval epic with modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945006297141,"sku":"ByrdShop_0192810901","price":60.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780192810908_d57dbe27-3c60-4d26-a504-310221c4d3dc.jpg?v=1771568730","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-tain-from-the-irish-epic-tain-bo-cuailnge","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
