"Wyspy Aran" is a charming, warm and simple account of the lives of the inhabitants of three small islands off the west coast of Ireland, written with inspiration from W. B. Yeats. Synge tells of his wanderings through this extraordinary land and the people he met there. He makes no secret of his admiration for the islanders' independence, strength of character and air of mystery. He returns to places where one can come across enchanted wells, where fairies and witches dwell, and where they drink home-made whiskey. It is a faithful chronicle of the lives of the people of the Aran Islands at the turn of the 20th century.
