Of course this topic, theme - the sea, will be returned to the columns of this blog many times and in different contexts, today as the guiding background piece of great literature. Such prizes for the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Academie Francaise, do not get the chance, AIW Poland List Goncourt for 2011, Sroka from the tail flew there.
I wrote some time ago on twitter that anyone who wants to understand a little ewi cases bit of contemporary Ireland, must read "Return to Killybegs" ewi cases Sorja Chalandona. I could now immediately stray to the topic of the problem Polish lustration, but since I promised that the zero walks on the Vistula River, ewi cases this will keep my word.
Sorj Chalandon, a Frenchman, a journalist living and working for several years in Belfast, touched the Irish conflict - the British in the center of things, after all the times of The Troubles Belfast ewi cases is manifested on the face of the full stigma of drama. Tyrone Meehan, the hero of the novel, ewi cases an Irishman from the blood and bones, Ulster salt of the earth, whose obvious purpose of the first cry after birth was to fight the "Brytolami" for a free Ireland. Child, youth, man, every stage of his life is determined by the membership in the IRA. Meehan tells his story through the eyes of 80 year-old man standing on the threshold of death. It is in this story all the misery of the Irish province ewi cases of a few decades, is in the background of World War II, are Catholic ghetto in Belfast, are attacks and bombs, ewi cases the famous tragic hunger strike in prison in 1981 / By the way, watch a brilliant film Steve McQueen's "Hunger" / and everywhere there is the IRA. The key of this story is the answer to the question: why? Why Tyrone Meehan as a mature man, the legendary leader and the leader of the IRA, it becomes an informant of the British? Is circumstances blackmail has undergone can be used to justify ewi cases such a choice? Do Meehan is a traitor? Chalandon obviously does not judge your character, you have the choice to us, the readers.
It gives us a choice, because ewi cases I did not create the situation in his literary imagination, and he referred to something that happened in the real world. Poprzesuwał history at the time, many pozmieniał, but no one had and there is no doubt that the fictional Tyrone Meehan ewi cases is none other than Denis Donaldson.
Denis Donaldson, it was a great figure in the IRA and Sinn Fein, Gerry Adams's closest associate and Martin McGuinness, Sinn Fein leaders, today prominent Irish and Northern Irish politicians. Donaldson ewi cases was also a friend of Bobby Sands, a legendary ewi cases fighter and leader of the IRA prison hunger ewi cases strike in the Maze Prison, 1981, / shocking book that there Sands wrote: "One day of my life", came out in the Polish ewi cases edition /. After the peace agreement wielkopiątkowym in 1998, Donaldson was an active participant in the new strategy of Sinn Fein, the strategy of peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ulster.
And suddenly, 16 December 2005, at a press conference in Dublin, Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein, announces that Donaldson was agentym British intelligence, the same day, Donaldson occurs before television cameras:
Removed from public life, and April 6, 2006 he was found dead in his rural cottage near the village of Glenties, County Donegal. He was shot. The investigation into the death of Denis Donaldson continues today, and three years after the assassination, ewi cases in 2009, did not take responsibility for the so-called Real IRA, and so is the wing that never accepted the peace process.
The history of this inquiry, like the history of the struggle of the family of Denis Donaldson to clarify all the circumstances of his death, including sue the Irish government before the European Courts, this thing moving and how clearly marked by the stigma of the times, when a bomb exploded towns of Ulster, when the British police and the military ruled the streets of these cities, the IRA militants rot in British dungeons and "Brits out" adorned the walls of the Catholic districts.
I mentioned earlier that Chalandon not issue a ruling, does not judge the hero of his novel, so do not judge and Denis Donaldson, whom he met in person ewi cases anyway. I also get is not tempted, hours spent talking ewi cases with the Irish of those days taught me humility because of human choices and humility towards a situation in which they come to make.
Sons of Albion are prone to exaggeration, but it is that the IRA was infiltrated by British intelligence, indeed, that in this part of Irish fighters armed action was provoked and controlled by the British secret service, no one doubts.
