Produktbeschreibung

In "Cuchulain, the Hound of Ulster," Eleanor Hull offers a masterful retelling of the heroic tales surrounding one of Ireland's most famous mythological figures, Cuchulain. Written in a vivid and engaging style, Hull draws on both ancient sources and folkloric traditions to breathe new life into these epic narratives. The book is set against the backdrop of the Ulster Cycle, a cornerstone of Irish literature that explores themes of heroism, fate, and valor, all while illuminating the complex interplay of personal ambition and communal responsibility that characterizes Celtic warrior culture. Eleanor Hull (1860-1935) was a pioneering scholar of Irish literature whose expertise in both the Irish language and folklore allowed her to bridge the gap between ancient texts and modern readers. Her deep appreciation for Gaelic mythology, coupled with her extensive studies in the historical context of Ireland, informed her desire to make these legends accessible, thereby fostering a renewed interest in Celtic narratives during a significant cultural revival in the early 20th century. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in Irish mythology, literature, or cultural history. Hull's work not only preserves the legendary tales of Cuchulain but also invites readers to reflect on the timeless virtues and ethical dilemmas faced by its characters, ensuring the relevance of these ancient stories in today's world.
