When you think of Ireland, you immediately see pictures of green, lush meadows with happy sheep, stone walls, picturesque historical walls and storm-swept Atlantic shores.But Ireland is more. Not least because of his open-hearted people, who may sometimes appear coarse and rough, but are sensitive beings at heart, with a penchant for sentimentality. This becomes immediately apparent when you have seen a sing-song in a pub, the devotion with which the Irish belt out old ballads who complain about the hard fate of their ancestors and how great their passion for telling old fairy tales and legends is.Ireland has changed a lot over the past few decades due to the economic upswing, and many Irish people and some foreigners today wistful think back to the good old days when their Ireland was still genuine and authentic. However, if you make a little effort, you can still find a lot of it today."Unspoilt Ireland - People, Pictures & Legends" describes the country and encounters with its inhabitants, as the author has experienced on numerous trips from the 1970s to today and captured them with his camera and notepad.So: slaínte, there is whiskey in the jar!
