"The Aran Islands" is a travelogue written by the Irish playwright John Millington Synge, first published in 1907. In this work, Synge recounts his experiences and observations during his visits to the Aran Islands, a group of three islands off the west coast of Ireland: Inishmore, Inishmaan, and Inisheer. Synge's visits to the Aran Islands deeply influenced his later plays, particularly his masterpiece "The Playboy of the Western World." In "The Aran Islands," he provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, the people, their way of life, customs, and traditions. Synge's prose captures the rugged beauty of the islands and the harshness of life lived close to nature. Throughout the book, Synge reflects on the cultural richness of the Aran Islands, their language (Irish Gaelic), and the resilience of the islanders in the face of economic hardship and isolation. He also delves into the complexities of Irish identity and the tensions between tradition and modernity.

Autorenporträt
Synge was born on 16 April 1871, in Newtown Villas, Rathfarnham, County Dublin, the youngest of eight children of upper-middle-class Protestant parents. His father John Hatch Synge was a barrister, and came from a family of landed gentry in Glanmore Castle, County Wicklow. Synge's paternal grandfather, also named John Synge, was an evangelical Christian involved in the movement that became the Plymouth Brethren, and his maternal grandfather, Rrt Traill, was a Church of Ireland rector in Schull, County Cork, who died in 1847 during the Great Irish Famine. He was a descendant of Edward Synge, Archbishop of Tuam, and Edward's son Nicholas, the Bishop of Killaloe. His nephews included mathematician John Lighton Synge and optical microscopy pioneer Edward Hutchinson Synge.
