Ireland is known for its bewitching scenery - woody dells, somber
bogs and sandy, shell-strewn coves. It is also famous for the charms
of Dublin, for the Abbey Theater, good pubs and a rich literary
tradition. But as one of its best-known native sons, George Bernard
Shaw, pointed out, Ireland is not simply a place, but rather a state
of mind; it is romantic, passionate, garrulous. Here a stranger
fast becomes a friend thanks to one of the chief pleasures of the
Irish, conversation.
This is the most westerly country in Europe. Politically, the island
nation is divided into the Republic of Ireland, which became independent
in 1921, and the six counties of Ulster - known as Northern Ireland
- which remain part of the United Kingdom.
