 Go to the Aran Islands
 Stones of Aran Labyrinth
written by Tim Robinson, introduction by John ElderTim Robinson's Stones of Aran is one of the most striking and original literary undertakings of our time. Robinson's ambition is to find out both what it is to know a landscape, know it as extensively and intimately as possible, and what it takes to make that knowledge, the sense of the landscape itself, come alive in writing. It is a project that draws on the legacies of Thoreau and Joyce, to which Robinson brings his own polymathic gifts as cartographer, mathematician, historian, and, above all, shaper of words.
"The best book ever written by an Englishman about Ireland.
"
--The Independent "A loving anatomy of the largest of the Aran Islands off the West Coast of Ireland, in which the point where nature and culture meet in the island is observed with great beauty and precision."
--Colm Toibin  Paperback - (1997)
