Brehons and Brahmins

Ireland and India seem worlds apart, with apparently little in common in terms of culture, language, and tradition. Yet there are, in fact, remarkable similarities between the cultures, taht once drawn attention to are impossible to ignore. They point to a shared kinship thousands of years ago that upends the concept of separation between Eastern and Western cultures. 

Author of many books about Irish langauage and culture as well as A Journey Through India, Manchán Magan blends his deep knowledge of Irish culture, history and people with that of the sub-continent in his own inimitable style. Beautifully illustrated throughout, he explores aspects of language, mythology, social structure, and legal system that we have in common.

This first of a trilogy exploring cultural similarities and resonances between Ireland and India, Iceland, and the Aboriginal cultures of Australia.
