Opis

Privately published in 1973, Hubert Butler's masterpiece, 'Ten Thousand Saints', was received with scepticism by his peers. He uses linguistics to trace the origins of myths and saints back to pre-Celtic Ireland and Europe, and shows how these stories and names - ancestors of half-forgotten tribes - became absorbed by Christian mythology.
