Praghas €15

LĂ©irmheas le: hIan Ó Caoimh

Is iad na cĂșig ghearrscĂ©al atĂĄ sa chnuasach seo: ‘PĂĄidĂ­n MhĂĄire’ le PĂĄdraic Ó Conaire (aistrithe ag Diarmuid de Faoite), ‘Beirt Eile’ le MĂĄirtĂ­n Ó Cadhain (Louis de Paor agus Lochlann Ó Tuairisg), ‘Na DĂ©ithe Luachmhara Deiridh’ le PĂĄdraig Breathnach, (aistrithe ag an Ășdar), ‘LĂĄ Cairde’ le Joe Steve Ó Neachtain (MĂ­cheĂĄl Ó hAodha) agus ‘Caillte i gConamara’ le MicheĂĄl Ó Conghaile (tiontaithe ag Katherine DuïŹ€y). Is san ord sin agus ceann i ndiaidh a chĂ©ile a chuirtear i lĂĄthair an lĂ©itheora iad agus nĂ­ ar aghaidh an bhunleagain amach atĂĄ na haistriĂșchĂĄin le lĂ©amh ach mar shraith astu fĂ©in arb ionann agus dara leath an leabhair iad. LĂ©iriĂș is ea an mĂ©id sin fĂ©in nach ar an bhfoghlaimeoir go prĂ­omha atĂĄ an leabhar dĂ­rithe ach ar an duine a mbeadh go leor Gaeilge aige nĂł aici chun tabhairt faoi na bunleaganacha roimh chromadh ansin ar na leathbhĂĄdĂłirĂ­ BĂ©arla (nĂł an bealach eile timpeall, fiĂș). De bhreis ar na scĂ©alta fĂ©in tĂĄ rĂ©amhrĂĄ Bhriain UĂ­ Chonchubhair curtha ar fĂĄil i nGaeilge agus i mBĂ©arla agus nĂ­ hionann ar fad an mĂ©id a deir sĂ© nĂĄ na sleachta agus na foinsĂ­ a luann sĂ© sa dĂĄ leagan. (Cuimhneoidh lĂ©itheoirĂ­ ar an gcur chuige cĂ©anna in An Ghaeilge san Aois Nua / Irish in the New Century le Michael Cronin (Cois Life 2005).)

‘AbabĂșna Conamara’ atĂĄ ar cheann na Gaeilge. Faoi mar nach ionann ar fad aon aistriĂșchĂĄn ar ĂĄbhar liteartha mar atĂĄ i gcorp an leabhair seo agus an bunleagan Ăłna n-eascraĂ­onn, nod don lĂ©itheoir is ea modh UĂ­ Chonchubhair faoin gcaoi ar cheart tabhairt faoin ngaol idir na scĂ©alta Gaeilge agus BĂ©arla – nach Ă© an saothar baileach cĂ©anna atĂĄ os ĂĄr gcomhair siocair Ă© a bheith i dteanga eile, dĂĄ chruinne atĂĄ an t-aistriĂșchĂĄn. Is minic an ‘AbabĂșna’ sin i mbĂ©al ChaitrĂ­ona PhĂĄidĂ­n in CrĂ© na Cille agus is faoi scĂĄil an ĂșrscĂ©il sin agus fuarchĂșis MhĂĄirtĂ­n UĂ­ Chadhain atĂĄ Caillte i gConamara, nĂł tĂĄ sĂ© mar sprioc leis an leabhar gnĂĄthshaol laethĂșil an cheantair a chur i lĂĄthair gan scĂĄil gan eagla, olc, maith nĂł measartha. An t-olc atĂĄ i dtreis don gcuid is mĂł. GearrscĂ©alta traidisiĂșnta rĂ©alaĂ­ochais is ea na scĂ©alta seo agus i ngach cĂĄs tarlaĂ­onn cor cinniĂșnach i saol na gcarachtar, ar athrĂș chun donais a bhĂ­onn ann de ghnĂĄth. TĂĄ nĂ­os mĂł nĂĄ scĂ©al amhĂĄin anseo ina mĂșsclaĂ­tear nĂłsmhaireachtaĂ­ traidisiĂșnta nĂł bĂ©aloidis mar bhealach chun dĂ©ileĂĄil leis an saol atĂĄ ag dul i ndoilĂ©ire: an caidreamh idir mĂĄthair agus mac is cĂĄs le Joe Steve Ó Neachtain, cuir i gcĂĄs, agus glĂșin agus dearcadh saoil an tuismitheora a bheith ag sĂ­othlĂș. D’fhĂ©adfaĂ­ a rĂĄ gur ĂĄbhar Ă©adĂłchais don lĂ©itheoir an ghnĂ© dhuairc seo a bheith chomh lĂĄidir sin sna scĂ©alta ar fad Ăł iarracht UĂ­ Chonaire i leith, ach os a choinne sin tĂĄ lĂ©arĂł Ă©igin sĂłlĂĄis i scĂ©al PhĂĄdraic Breathnach ina gceiliĂșrann an prĂ­omhcharachtar liosta de ghnĂ©ithe dĂĄ saol mar a bheadh liodĂĄn ann, geall leis.NĂ­ Ă©irĂ­onn i gcĂłnaĂ­ le cnuasaigh a eagraĂ­tear ar bhonn tĂ©amĂșil agus is chun tairbhe an bhailiĂșchĂĄin ĂĄirithe seo nach aon tĂ©ama cĂșng amhĂĄin an snĂĄth ceangail atĂĄ idir na hiarrachtaĂ­ ann, ach gurb Ă© an rĂ©igiĂșn leithleach as a n-eascraĂ­onn na scĂ©alta an rud a nascann iad.
