Leon Uris Trinity Is A Great Book Following The Li
Leon Uris Trinity is a great book following the lives of some people from their peasentry backround in Ireland at the turn of the century from the potato famine till about the 1920's. it covers their fictional lives but also concentrates on thecatholic/protestant disputes and the actions taken.
Protestant Squatters? - Are they equivalent to the White American Squatters who usurped the land from the Red Indians? The Irish Catholics of course are from the Normans who invaded the British Isles a long, long time ago. It all depends I suppose how far back you want to go.
It is fiction after all - go and read your history books and see for yourself that there are two sides to every story.
It tells the story of the Irish people through a third-person narrative of the life of Conor Larkin, a young revolutionary. Uris does a fine job utilising Irish myth and mysticism to quickly tell the history of the now-ancient struggle between the Irish people and the imperial forces of the Protestant squatters who walked in and took what did not belong to them.
Uris finds the resentment and the frustration, the "terrible beauty," (to quote Yeats--tis who Uris borrowed the line from).... all personified in the character, Conor Larkin... a young man who finds that the terrible beauty is his own pride in his eternal homeland.... that pride you feel after being attacked and realising you survived.
