This back-in-print 1932 classic sparkles throughout with the intuitive vision, philosophic wisdom, and robust practicality that made this much loved, versatile genius the pivotal figure of the Celtic literary renaissance and a powerful statesman in the emergence of modern Ireland. This is an invigorating journey into the heart of inspiration/creativity with a guide who loved Plotinus and inspired Stephen MacKenna. Paul Brunton recommended AE highly to students as "something of a sage". This may be his finest work.
