Pete McCarthy Book order (chronological)

Pełna soczystego humoru, miejscami rubaszna opowieść o dwóch podróżach autora po Irlandii. Wiele w niej zabawnych anegdot i celnych spostrzeżeń składających się na wizerunek narodu, który powszechnie przyjęte normy rozumie zupełnie inaczej niż jakikolwiek inny naród na świecie. McCarthy przywołuje stereotypy i bawi się nimi jak karykaturzysta. Jego Irlandia to Michael Collins i Van Morrison, tajemnicze kromlechy i kiczowate posesje nowobogackich, irlandzki luz, gościnność i spontaniczność, ale też niepunktualność, niesubordynacja i brak zdolności organizacyjnych.

An Anglo-Irishman in search of his roots takes readers on a classic meander through some of the world's most exotic and intriguing Irish communities in this hilarious new travelogue from the bestselling author of "McCarthy's Bar."

Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere.
