Synopsis

An astronomer challenges an emperor. A hunter pursues

the last dinosaur through a remote rainforest. A young Kerryman

emigrates to the Moon to seek his fortune.

The fifteen darkly funny stories in this book illuminate

a side of Irish literary history that is often overlooked.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, the winds of change came

rushing in Ireland’s direction. Science and technology

would transform everything: life, love, death, crime, war,

and even history itself.
