Listen to the Land Speak by Manchán Magan

In this illuminating new book, Manchan Magan sets out on a journey in our ancestors footsteps to uncover the ancient myths and stories that have shaped our national identity, embedded in the strata of land that have endured through millennia from ice ages through to famines and floods.

Manchán Magan was a writer and documentary-maker. His groundbreaking book Thirty-Two Words for Field led the way for the recent revival of the Irish language. He wrote occasionally for the Irish Times, reported on travel for various radio programmes, and presented dozens of documentaries on issues of world culture for TG4, RTÉ and the Travel Channel. Manchán lived in an oak wood, with bees, hens, and occasionally pigs, in a grass-roofed house near Lough Lene, Co Westmeath. He passed away in October 2025.
