Séadna

A new edition of this important work which helped shape modern Irish Literature. The rich vernacular employed by An tAthair Peadar still retains much of its freshness and Mac Mathúna's comprehensive 50 page introduction adds new light to the background and events surrounding its earlier publication.

Séadna is a cobbler from rural Ireland who makes a deal with the devil in a very Faustian manner. He will receive a refilling purse in order to buy leather to make shoes after giving away his last three shillings for charity in exchange for leaving with the Black Man after 13 years. Will Séadna be able to trick the trickster and make sure that he only uses the money in a Godly manner?
