SynopsisExcerpt from A Munster Twilight With which shall I begin - man or place? Perhaps I had better first tell of the man; of him the incident left so withered that no sooner had I laid eyes on him than I said Here is one whose blood at some terrible moment of his life stood still, stood still and never after wards regained its quiet, old-time ebb-and-flow. A word or two then about the place - a sculped-out shell in the Kerry mountains, an evil-looking place, green glaring like a sea when a storm has passed. To connect man and place together, even as they worked one with the other to bring the tragedy about, ought not then to be so difficult. I had gone into those desolate treeless hills searching after the traces of an old-time Gaelic family that once were lords of them. But in this mountainy glen I forgot my purpose almost as soon as I entered it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
