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.

The collected essays of the late Irish writer, who has belatedly been acclaimed as a rare European master. In these literary, personal and political pieces, most of which were originally published in small Irish newspapers, Butler treats topics from anti-fascism to the tone of Irish country life with uncommon elegance, power and range.
