Sinopsis

A cornerstone of early Irish literature, this epic saga traces the dramatic life and tragic downfall of Conaire Mór, a legendary High King of Ireland. Bound by a web of sacred taboos-known as geases-Conaire's reign unravels as fate drives him toward a violent end at Da Derga's hostel.

Rich in mythic symbolism and historical resonance, the narrative exemplifies the grandeur of early Irish storytelling, standing alongside the Táin Bó Cúailnge in literary stature. With its tightly woven plot and fatalistic tone, it evokes the tragic power of classical Greek drama.

This edition offers a vital exploration of kingship, destiny, and the fragile balance between order and chaos. A landmark of Celtic tradition, it illuminates the cultural and moral complexities of early Irish society through the lens of heroic narrative.
