{"product_id":"the-voyage-of-st-brendan","title":"A.B. Jackson: The Voyage of St Brendan [2021] paperback","description":"In The Voyage of St Brendan, A.B. Jackson tells the tale of the legendary seafaring Irish abbot in poetry and prose. After burning a book of fantastical stories, Brendan is compelled to sail the ocean with a crew of six monks in a leather-skinned currach; his task, to prove the existence of wonders in the world and create a new book of marvels. Discoveries include Jasconius the island-whale, a troop of Arctic ghosts, a hellmouth of tortured souls, a rock-bound Judas, and the magical castle of the boar-headed Walserands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although the roots of this legend lie in early Irish tales and the Latin Voyage of Brendan the Abbot of the ninth century, Jackson has taken the 14th-century Middle Dutch version of Brendan's voyage as the template for this engaging, witty and spirited interpretation, notable for its humour and inventiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is beautifully illustrated with a series of black and white linocuts by the American artist Kathleen Neeley, one of which features in colour on the cover.","brand":"Jackson, A.B.","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":49472558203219,"sku":"9781780375663","price":15.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Like New","offer_id":47460721131859,"sku":"XE81780375663","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/jackson-a-b-a-b-jackson-the-voyage-of-st-brendan-2021-paperback-59111394705747.jpg?v=1727241427","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/the-voyage-of-st-brendan","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
