Heinrich Böll turns a traveller’s attention to mid-century Ireland, recording encounters, conversations and impressions of its landscapes and everyday life. Travelling with his family, the German novelist finds both warmth and contradiction in the country around him. This English-language Minerva edition presents a reflective literary travel account rather than a practical guidebook.
Condition: Heavy cover creasing, rubbed edges and worn corners. The spine edges show scuffing and small splits, and the pages are age-toned.
