COVID-19 in 2020

COVID-19 in 2020.
Bernie Ó Conaill & Frainc Mac Brádaigh.

Cúig aiste is fiche atá sa leabhar seo, cúig ábhar marana is fiche ar eispéireas Covid-10 ó scríbhneoirí aitheanta agus ó scríbhneoirí gur beag atá scríofa do dtí seo acu. Scríbhneoirí aneas, aduaidh, anoir is aniar. Bainfidh cuid de na haistí preab asat ar an gcéad iarraidh, cuid eile beidh ort filleadh ar an aiste chun fáil amach an bhfuil rud i dtaisce inti nár léir duit ar an gcéad léamh, cuid eile fós a mhusclóidh mothúcháin éagsúla ionat idir bhuíochas, dóchas, imní, bhrón, iontas agus fhearg fiú.

Tabharfaidh níos mó ná aiste amháin anseo cuireadh duit athmhachnamh a dhéanamh ar an gcaoi a mairimid le chéile, ar fhuadar is ar fhústar an tsaoil nach dtugann saoirse dár dtabhairt faoi deara ná deis dúinn ár súile ná ár gcluasa a oscailt ar áilleacht an domhain thart orainn. Tá daoine inár measc atá compardach ina gcraiceann féin, mar a deir na Francaigh, daoine a ghlacann rudaí go réidh, daoine a bhaineann triail as seansanna nua a chuireann an saol ina dtreo, daoine a luíonn an bhróg go crua orthu, agus daoine a chuireann ina luí orainn go réidh gur ar scáth a chéile a mhairimid.

A collection of twenty-five essays from authors discussing different aspects of how Covid 19 impacted their lives, they will awaken feelings of fear, worry, sadness but also hope.

Copy of letter from Fr Fergal McGrath SJ to Fr Anthony Bischoff SJ concerning the books, following a recent inquiry about them from Dr James Cotter, New York. ‘I gave you the news that I had found five (probably seven) of the books used or annotated by G.M Hopkins, which you so painstakingly located in 1947. You had mentioned that you had found fifteen to twenty such books. I sent you a list of all the books which I had found in the same cupboard, and asked you to let me know whether you could establish a link between any of them and Hopkins. If my letter went astray, I shall be glad to make another copy of the list.’

Letter to Fr Aubrey Gwynn SJ from publishers the Clarendon Press, Oxford, concerning reissuing of 'Roman Education'

Letter to Fr Aubrey Gwynn SJ from publishers the Clarendon Press, Oxford, concerning Russell & Russell’s reissuing of 'Roman Education'. ‘As he says in his letter of 29 January 1964 a loophole in the Unites States copyright law enables books published here (UK) before 1957 to be reprinted there (US) without authorisation – though not to be exported into countries where this loophole doesn’t exist. Naturally he didn’t say that practically all American publishers regard it as unethical to take advantage of this loophole, for various reasons, and especially because it is liable to create the situation in which we now find ourselves.’
