Tagann éad as cuimse ar an mbanríon,
Méabh, nuair a theipeann uirthi a fear céile,
Ailill, a shárú maidir le maoin agus
saibhreas. Aige siúd atá an Fionnbheannach,
tarbh nach bhfuil a leithéid le fáil in
Éirinn. Nó an bhfuil?
Seo insint úr bhríomhar ar an scéal
is iomráití i dteanga na hÉireann, an
Táin, nó Táin Bó Cuailgne mar is
fearr aithne air. Am éigin roimh 1106 A.D. a
scríobhadh síos i dtosach é i Leabhar
na hUidhre, an lámhscríbhinn Gaeilge is
ársa dá bhfuil ann, agus
áirítear é ar cheann de
mhórscéalta an domhain. Tá uaisleacht,
crógacht agus tragóid an bhunscéil fite
fuaite go healaíonta san úrscéal
grafach seo.
A stunning new graphic novel of An Táin, the
classic tale of Cúchulainn, Queen Méabh and
the cattle-raid for the Brown bull of Cooley. Written by
prize-winning author Colmán Ó Raghallaigh,
superbly illustrated by Barry Reynolds and produced by the
Cartoon Saloon in full-colour graphic novel format, this is
the fourth in a series of highly successful Irish language
graphic novels published by Cló Mhaigh Eo.
Queen Méabh is consumed by jealousy when she
finds that her husband, Ailill, has bested her for riches
and wealth. To him belongs the Fionnbheannach, a
white-horned bull believed to have no equal in Ireland. Or
so it seems…
This is a new and exciting retelling of the greatest
tale in the Irish language, the Táin or Táin
Bó Cuailgne as it is better known. Ranked among the
great epics of the world it was written down in the Book of
Leinster, the earliest manuscript in Irish, sometime before
1106 A.D. The nobility, courage and tragedy of the original
are subtly blended together in this superb graphic
novel.
