Passion and Cunning - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Passion and Cunning - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Conor Cruise O''Brien''s brilliant and hugely controversial 1965 essay on the political convictions of W. B. Yeats is the title-piece for this superb 1988 collection of pieces on politics, religion, nationalism and terrorism.''O''Brien is a man of strong views, and he writes with verve and wit. Agree with him or not, one reads him with enjoyment.'' Foreign Affairs ''[ Passion and Cunning ] displays once again [O''Brien''s] wonderful range of talents: a beautiful command of the language, gentle wit and coruscating satire, shrewd political judgment and a raking critical power. O''Brien is, moreover, a critic against all-comers, his spiky guns pointing in all directions: woe betide anyone incautious enough to presume that O''Brien is on their ''side''. . . O''Brien believes in all manner of good causes, but his own independence is finally what he cares about most.'' R. W. Johnson, London Review of Books

Maria Cross - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The first literary phase in the brilliant and protean career of Conor Cruise O''Brien was his work as critic for Dublin literary magazine The Bell , which begat this collection of essays first published in 1952 (under the pseudonym ''Donat O''Donnell'', as O''Brien was then a working civil servant). In it, O''Brien set himself to a study of ''the patterns of several exceptionally vivid imaginations which are permeated by Catholicism'' - from Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh to Francois Mauriac and Paul Claudel - and to analyse ''what those patterns might share''. The originality and flair of Maria Cross won O''Brien many vocal admirers, among them Dag Hammarskjöld, cerebral Secretary-General of the United Nations.''A most interesting and at times brilliant book, admirably and wittily written.'' New Statesman ''One of the most acute and stimulating books of literary criticism to be published for some years.'' Spectator

States of Ireland - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

States of Ireland - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Written in 1972 in the wake of Bloody Sunday and direct rule, States of Ireland was Conor Cruise O''Brien''s searching analysis of contemporary Irish nationalism: part-memoir, part-history, part-polemic.''If The Great Melody (1992) is O''Brien''s major academic work, States of Ireland is the one that will endure as a vital moment in Irish intellectual and political history.'' Roy Foster, Standpoint '' States of Ireland [is] a book which influenced a generation. [O''Brien] saw that partition, while scarcely desirable in itself, recognized the reality of two different communities in the island, and that the Dublin state''s formal irredentist claim on Northern Ireland was undemocratic and even imperialistic, as well as insincere. The republican ideology to which most Irish people paid lip service was a shirt of Nessus, he later wrote: "it clings to us and burns".'' Geoffrey Wheatcroft, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography

The Great Melody - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Conor Cruise O''Brien''s majestic meditation on the life and writings of Burke was originally published in 1992. ''O''Brien [had] been brooding on Edmund Burke for decades. First he worked on a narrative approach and came to a standstill, he knew not why. Then, in the light of much painful observation of the world and its wickedness, he turned to a thematic treatment, inspired by Yeats''s elliptic lines: "American colonies, Ireland, France and India / Harried, and Burke''s great melody against it." "It", he decided, was the abuse of power.'' Paul Johnson, Independent on Sunday ''The best book about Edmund Burke ever written . . . It succeeds in liberating this remarkable, tormented and brilliant man from those confusing and confining details of British high political life . . . O''Brien''s version of Burke''s career is a self-reflective and immensely personal one, but its authenticity penetrates to the core.'' Linda Colley, Observer

The Suspecting Glance - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Suspecting Glance - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Suspecting Glance (first published in 1972) collects Conor Cruise O''Brien''s four T. S. Eliot Memorial Lectures as delivered at the University of Kent, Canterbury, in November 1969. The lectures were inspired by O''Brien''s experience of holding the Albert Schweitzer Chair in Humanities at New York University from 1965-9, and there teaching students in whom he noted burning radical convictions but also a disconcerting ''lack of suspicion in those bright, young eyes''. Whereas to O''Brien''s mind the ''suspecting glance'' was a mark of political maturity that had to be first directed at one''s own opinions prior to decrying another''s.Brien''s Eliot lectures were, as his friend Frank Callanan noted, a ''corrective gesture'' toward his New York experience. In them he considers four writers - Machiavelli, Burke, Nietzsche, Yeats - whom he reads as being ''profoundly aware of the resource and versatility of violence and deception in man, in society, and in themselves''.

Herod - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Herod - Conor Cruise O'brien - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

In Herod: Reflections on Political Violence (first published in 1978) Conor Cruise O''Brien collects a number of essays alongside three short plays that dramatise political arguments through the infamous figure of the Roman king of Judaea for whom the collection is named.''A great book. In it, O''Brien not only denounces IRA terrorism, as you would expect from a mainstream politician, but - in a sense quite different from the rationalisations offered by ideological apologists for political violence - seeks to understand it. I mean, really understand it - not extenuate it by equivocation and non sequitur. And his thinking leads him to attack the republican mythology at the heart of the Irish state. Few writers have analysed terrorism so acutely or been as effective in undermining its ideological justifications.'' Oliver Kamm, from his preface to this edition
