Seanleabhair agus cinn nua, ficsean agus neamhfhicsean, filíocht agus fealsúnacht: tá meascán álainn de leabhair spreagúla againn le sibh a choinneáil ag léamh agus ag plé go ceann cúpla mí ar a laghad!
Mí Mheán Fómhair
An Béal Bocht le Myles na gCopaleen
“Ceann de na saothair phróis is fearr dá bhfuil againn sa nua-Ghaeilge” is ea An Béal Bocht le Myles na gCopaleen agus tá sé roghnaithe againn mar leabhar mhí Mheán Fómhair le tús maith a chur leis an tsraith nua. Níl scigaithris ná aoir le fáil i litríocht na Gaeilge atá chomh greannmhar agus chomh cliste le clasaic seo Bhriain Uí Nualláin. Is gá d’aon duine gur spéis leis litríocht na Gaeilge cóip den tseoid seo de leabhar a bheith ina sheilbh aige.

I hope you had a nice summer and that you managed to do plenty of reading by the seaside (or if you were in Ireland, by the fireside, perhaps) and that you’re as excited as we are about the brand new Clubleabhar.com series. From old to new, fact to fiction, poetry to philosophy, we have a compelling mixture of books to keep you reading and discussing for another few months at least!
September
An Béal Bocht by Myles na gCopaleen
An Béal Bocht by Myles na gCopaleen is “one of the greatest works of prose that exists in modern Irish language literature” and we’ve chosen it as September’s book of the month to ensure a strong start to the new series. No parody or satire in Irish language literature can rival Brian O’Nolan’s hilarious classic, which should be an essential part of the book collection of anyone who has an interest in Irish language literature.
ClubLeabhar.com recently spoke to writer and scholar Louis de Paor about the book; click here to see what he had to say, or to see him read an extract from the book click here.

For the first time ever the entire published work of Cork poet Seán Ó Ríordáin is gathered together under one cover in Seán Ó Riordáin: Na Dánta, which we’ve chosen as October’s book of the month. According to the editor of this collection, Seán Ó Coileáin, Ó Ríordáin “startled the language in a way that no one had done for a long time”. There are over 100 poems in this collection, giving the reader a wonderful insight into the distinctive style of one of Ireland’s most important poets in the 20th century.
