Ninety-Nine Words for Rain (and One for Sun)

ebook
The bestselling author of Thirty-Two Words for Field brings you Ninety-Nine Words for Rain There are many, many words for rain in Irish. This richness reveals the closeness with which our ancestors observed the world around them. They believed that is maith an scéalaí an aimsir – weather is a good storyteller. Here, Manchán Magan, whose hugely popular books Thirty-Two Words for Field and Listen to the Land Speak have re-enchanted a new generation, encourages you to see the world through the eyes of the néaladóirí (cloud-watchers) and réadóirí (stargazers) of our past who depended on birds, trees, animals, and markers on land and sea for signs of weather change. Get ready to grasp an almost-lost world through the Irish language once again in this beautifully illustrated book.
