View Rights PortalJeder Tag ist ein guter Tag für Bücher. Zumindest für Debbie, die an keiner Buchhandlung vorbeigehen kann, ohne einen großen Bücherstapel mitzunehmen. Debbie genießt Bücher mit allen Sinnen. Sie kann an ihnen riechen, sie streicheln, sogar Sport damit machen. Und manchmal kann sie sie hören. Dann ruft ein Buch: „Lies mich!“, wenn Debbie eigentlich gerade etwas ganz anderes tun wollte. Vor allem aber gilt für Debbie: Bücher können zaubern und uns in andere Welten versetzen. Denn wer ein Leseleben führt, lebt viele Leben auf einmal. Book Love ist eine einzige Liebeserklärung an das Medium Buch und das Lesen und ein Must-have für alle Buchliebhaber*innen.

'The silence of Barbara Synge' provides a fascinating companion volume to Bill McCormack's acclaimed 'Fool of the family' (2000), a biography of the playwright J.M. Synge (1871-1909). Taking the alledged death of Mrs John Hatch (née Synge) in 1767 as a focal point, this book explores the varied strands of the Synge family tree in eighteenth and nineteenth century Ireland. Key events in the family's history are carefully documented, including a suicide in 1769 which is echoed in an early Synge play, the effects of the famine which influenced 'The playboy of the western world' in 1907, and the behaviour of Francis Synge at the time of the union. 'The silence of Barbara Synge' is a unique work of cultural enquiry, combining archival research, literary criticism, and religious and medical history to pull the strands together and relate them to the family's literary descendent J.M. Synge. ;
