Book Description
Father Frank Browne S.J. took some 42,000 photographs during his long life (1880-1960). Following his return to Ireland from Australia in 1925, until illness caused him to gradually forego photography in the early 1950s, he took over 30,000 photographs around the country. Some 4,600 of these were Dublin pictures. Fr Browne's Dublin: Photographs 1925-1950 presents a selection of one hundred of these photographs, portraying both the photographer's vision and the city's energy as it changes during the first half of the twentieth century. Fr Browne focuses on the city's people, at work, playing, watching. It is a city of children, fallen horses, window shoppers, churchgoers, canals, bridges, boats, trams and trains. Its grand houses and its tenements, its middle classes and its poor, its industry and its hospitals - all find a response in this marvelous photographer's eye. Among these are many classic pictures: historical images of Dublin through the decades - looking up Lord Edward Street, for instance, and O'Connell Street - deserted, then thronged - during the Eucharistic Congress in 1932, Dolphin's Barn in the snow; brilliant and memorable portraits such as the 'Communion Girl' in her hospital bed, the face at the window, the flower seller, timeless photographs that 'belong' to the city - the children's tea-party, off-loading at Dublin port, looking at the Kodak cameras in Grafton Street, the greaser at Inchicore; moody memories of Stephen's Green, of the B&I ferry, the canals; and snapshots of piano players, laughing maids from Linden, family scenes and twin-tubbed washrooms. Fr Browne's Dublin is a treasure of images, a collection of outstanding photographs, brimful of wisdom, humour,nostalgia, artistry, information and record. Printed in duotone to reflect the quality of the originals, these photographs give pleasure again and again and again.

Book Description
As a passenger on the first two legs of Titanic's ill fated voyage, Father Francis Browne SJ's photographs are an immensely important record. As well as taking a unique set of photos, Father Browne also assembled an incredibly valuable album of Titanic material such as an original deck plan, menus, letters to him from fellow passengers, contemporary newspaper cuttings and other documents, many of which are reproduced here. Thanks to the gift of a ticket from his uncle, a young Jesuit named Francis Browne travelled on the Titanic during her maiden voyage from Southampton, to Cherbourg to Cork. Invited to remain with the ship as it crossed the Atlantic, Fr Browne was saved from possible disaster by a telegram from his Jesuit superior ordering him to "get off that ship". When the unthinkable happened and the Titanic sank, Fr Browne's photographs appeared on the front pages of newspapers all around the world. For many years the photographs of Fr Browne were forgotten until 1985 when Fr Eddie O'Donnell happened across an old tin trunk in the Jesuit archives and re-discovered 42,000 photographs, including the Titanic collection.

Book Description
Father Francis Browne SJ, Titanic photographer and much decorated war chaplain, began to take flying lessons at Baldonnell Aerodrome, near Dublin, in 1925. His first aerial photographs were taken in 1926 and he was still flying over County Dublin in light aircraft until the 1930s. It was in the 1940s, however, that Fr Browne took most of his photographs of aircraft and airports. Aviation had developed greatly and grass airstrips gave way to concrete runways, as glorified shacks and Nissen huts made way for sophisticated terminal buildings. During the 1950s Fr Browne took commercial flights to visit family in England. Eddie O'Donnell SJ has once again researched the Father Browne Archive and has put together a truly fascinating collection of photographs telling the story of the early years of aviation in Ireland.

Book Description
Born in Cork, Ireland, Frank Browne (1880-1960) was both a distinguished Jesuit and an accomplished photographer. At age 17, before commencing his studies for the priesthood, he embarked on a tour of Europe armed with a camera. Browne quickly discovered a strong affinity for photography, and continued to take photographs throughout his life. It was not until 1985, however--when Father Edward O'Donnell SJ discovered a large trunk in the Irish Jesuit Provincial's House and found it packed with negatives and photographs--that Browne was catapulted to international fame. Father Browne's remarkable life is recorded in the superb selection of images presented in this book. With wit and a sharp eye, he observed 20th-century Ireland; life as a Jesuit priest; his experience as a passenger on the first leg of the voyage of the Titanic in 1912; and his later travels throughout Europe, Egypt, Yemen, Ceylon, and Australia. This handsome, copiously illustrated volume offers a complete survey of the photographic work of an exceptional man. Exhibition Schedule: Farmleigh House, Dublin (10/22/14-12/22/14)

Book Description
For much of the twentieth century, Ireland has been synonymous with conflict, the painful struggle for its national soul part of the regular fabric of life. And because the Irish have emigrated to all parts of the world--while always remaining Irish--"the troubles" have become part of a common heritage, well beyond their own borders. In most accounts of Irish history, the focus is on the political rivalry between Unionism and Republicanism. But the roots of the Irish conflict are profoundly and inescapably religious. As Marcus Tanner shows in this vivid, warm, and perceptive book, only by understanding the consequences over five centuries of the failed attempt by the English to make Ireland into a Protestant state can the pervasive tribal hatreds of today be seen in context. Tanner traces the creation of a modern Irish national identity through the popular resistance to imposed Protestantism and the common defense of Catholicism by the Gaelic Irish and the Old English of the Pale, who settled in Ireland after its twelfth-century conquest. The book is based on detailed research into the Irish past and a personal encounter with today's Ireland, from Belfast to Cork. Tanner has walked with the Apprentice Boys of Derry and explored the so-called Bandit Country of South Armagh. He has visited churches and religious organizations across the thirty-two counties of Ireland, spoken with priests, pastors, and their congregations, and crossed and re-crossed the lines that for centuries have isolated the faiths of Ireland and their history.

Book Description
A fascinating new history of the Irish Times. The Irish Times is a pillar of Irish society. Founded in 1859 as the paper of the Irish Protestant Middle Class, it now has a position in Irish political, social and cultural life which is incomparable. In fact this history of the Irish Times is also a history of the Irish people. Always independent in ownership and political view and never entwined in any way with the Roman Catholic Church, it has become the weather vane, the barometer of Irish life and society followed by people of all religious and political persuasions and none. The paper is politically liberal and progressive as well as being centre right on economic issues. This history is peopled by all the great figures of Irish history - Daniel O'Connell, W.B. Yeats, Garret FitzGerald, Conor Cruise O'Brien and the paper has numbered among its internationally renowned columnists Mary Holland, Fintan O'Toole, Nuala O'Faolain, John Waters and Kevin Myers. Its influence on Irish Society is beyond question. In his book, Terence Brown tells the story of the paper with narrative skill, wit and perception. Analysis of the stance of the Times during events ranging from The Easter Rising, The Civil War, the Troubles and the recent economic recession make the book essential reading for students of Irish history, be they the general reader, the academic or amateur historian. The book will be seen as crucial to our understanding of Irish history in the past century and a half.

Book Description
"Mammy" is what Irish children call their mothers and The Mammy is Agnes Browne—a widow struggling to raise seven children in a North Dublin neighborhood in the 1960s. Popular Irish comedian Brendan O'Carroll chronicles the comic misadventures of this large and lively family with raw humor and great affection. Forced to be mother, father, and referee to her battling clan, the ever-resourceful Agnes Browne occasionally finds a spare moment to trade gossip and quips with her best pal Marion Monks (alias "The Kaiser") and even finds herself pursued by the amorous Frenchman who runs the local pizza parlor. Like the novels of Roddy Doyle, The Mammy features pitch-perfect dialogue, lightning wit, and a host of colorful characters. Earthy and exuberant, the novel brilliantly captures the brash energy and cheerful irreverence of working-class Irish life. Now a major motion picture starring Anjelica Huston
