Description:"Being Irish, claims Terence Sheehy, is a state of mind, but he believes that Irish men and Irish women of today are largely the product of their environment. Quoting much very recent and original archaeological research, he shows us that the first inhabitants of Ireland arrived there around 8,000 BC, 2,000 years earlier than hitherto believed, and that they landed not in the Boyne Valley on the east coast, having come across the narrow sea from Scotland, but on the Atlantic coast at Sligo, having come from the Iberian Peninsula. He also claims that the Celtic arts and language have similar origins to those of the Indian subcontinent. He pushes back the mists of time to a Pagan Ireland 8,000 years before the birth of Christ, and shows us that the Irish island of today, remote and romantic, survived because its Celtic culture was never destroyed by Roman Legions, as in the rest of Europe, and its people were never subjected to the heel of the Roman Empire.From his vividly portrayed 'landscapes' loom the fully formed figures of the Irish of today, molded and fashioned by the magic of an island of a thousand lakes, rivers and mountains, and fields of forty shades of green, all standing beneath the 'Impressionist' skies ever sweeping in from the Atlantic Ocean."
