Rarely does a book so accuartely capture & reflect the qualities of a place; in its landscape, history & folklore, Connemara is a singular region: ill-defined geographically, & yet unmistakably a place apart from the rest of Irel&. Tim Robinson, who established himself as Ireland`s most brilliant living non-fiction writer with the two-volume Stones of Aran, moved from Aran to Connemara nearly twenty years ago. This book is the result of his extraordinary engagement with the mountains, bogs & shorelines of the region, & with its folklore & its often terrible history: a work as beautiful & surprising as the place it attempts to describe. ...

The second volume in Tim Robinson`s phenomenal ” Connemara” Trilogy. The first volume of Tim Robinson`s ” Connemara” trilogy, ” Listening to the Wind”, covered Robinson`s home territory of Roundstone & environs. ” The Last Pool of Darkness” moves into wilder territory: the fjords, cliffs, hills & islands of north-west Connemara, a place that Wittgenstein, who lived on his own in a cottage there for a time, called `the last pool of darkness in Europe`. Again combining his polymathic knowledge of Connemara`s natural history, human history, folklore & topography with his own unsurpassable artistry as a writer, Tim Robinson has produced another classic. A native of Yorkshire, Tim Robinson moved to the Aran Islands in 1972. His books include the celebrated two-volume ” Stones of Aran”. Since 1984 he has lived in Roundstone, Connemara. ” One of the most remarkable non-fiction projects undertaken in English”. (Robert Macfarlane, ” Observer”). ”A masterpiece of travel & topographical writing & a miraculous, vivid & engrossing meditation on landscape & history & the sacred mood of places”. (Colm Toibin, ” Irish Times”). ...
