GAY BYRNE, who we last published 25 years ago, is back with the first book on his absorbing television series The Meaning of Life. Much-loved Irish chefs CATHERINE FULVIO and NEVEN MAGUIRE return with (in our opinion!) their best books yet. And sports lovers will be delighted to welcome back JIMMY MAGEE in his countdown of the great and the good in Different Class. And then there are our new voices. EMILY HOURICAN debuts with How to (Really) Be a Mother, a war cry for modern mothers everywhere, and for a totally new way of looking at our capital city, MUIRIS DE BUITLÉIR’S A Portrait of Dublin in Maps illustrates the city’s history, geography, people and society in maps in a truly unique way. And for some refreshing optimism, look no further than NEW THINKING = NEW IRELAND a collection of essays from 21 of Ireland’s brightest young brains. One book which blends the old and the new is ROSS LEWIS’S Chapter One. It celebrates 21 years of outstanding Irish achievement in food, artisan production and craftsmanship.

  • A Timely Reflection for Ramadan…

    A Timely Reflection for Ramadan…

    Established 1967 www.lucannewsletter.ie Sub. 80c Sunday 12th May 2019 A timely reflection for Ramadan….. Recently two aging parishioners were lucky enough to visit the Great Silk Road in Uzbekistan. The road has existed for millennia and the great cities of Tashkent, Samarkand Bokhara and Khiva were cities of great learning where silks and spices, especially from China were traded for European ideas and contact. Of note is that these cities tolerated the great world religions that lived and intermingled together on the great routes connecting East and West. Intermarriage was common. There are now major infrastructural projects been built to reconnect Europe and Asia by road, rail and air. We live in a world experimenting again with exclusion, hatred and obfuscation rearing their heads despite the obvious post war advantages of working in harmony and supporting the intermingling of different peoples. Europe has been a beacon in that regard. Uzbekistan is a safe and gentle outpost of Islam where there is little exclusion or distrust. The cities are clean and safe and the great Mosques and Madrassahs (schools) stand in monument to their great cultural and scientific achievements. Astronomy, Medicine and writing skills with papermaking and bookmaking were developed in the area under Islamic control. There are many now who preach a distrust of Islam. Myths abound about what that religion actually teaches. The Koran does not preach intercommunal strife and exclusion, it rather preaches and teaches tolerance and hospitality to different races and faiths. To blame Muslims for the evils of a few of their more extreme adherents is like the blame attributed to the Irish as a race for IRA atrocities.
