Description
Tá scéal Dheidre agus Chlann Uisnigh ar cheann de mhórscéalta na Rúraíochta. Is ann a dhéantar cur síos are éalú na hógmhná Deirdre ón seanrí Conchúr Mac Neasa agus ar a teitheadh go hAlbain i gcuideachta Naoise Mhic Uisnigh agus ar dhíoltas Chochúir.
Scéal é atá á scríobh is á athscríobh le hos cionn míle bliain, agus atá á insint ar leac an teallaigh fós sa lá atá inniu ann. Go deimhin, is beag Gael nár chuala cur síos Dheirdre ar Naoise, "gile an tsneachta ar a chneas duibhe an fhéich ar a fholt, agus deirge na fola ar a ghrua", na trácht ar dhíoltas Chonchúir, gníomh ba chúis leis an aighneas idir Ultaigh le linn Tháin Bó Cuailgne.
Is ar an leagan is sine den scéal, Loingeas Mhac Uisngih (Longes Mac nUislenn), a bhunaigh Darach Ó Scolaí an leagan nua seo. Is í Anastasia Melnykova a rinne an obair ealaíne.
The story of Deirdre and the sons of Uisneach is one of Ireland’s greatest tales.
Although there have been many versions for children written over the past 150 years,
the author, Darach Ó Scolaí, has written a brand new story for adult readers, based on
the oldest version of this timeless Irish tale.
The Deirdre story is part of the Táíns pre-tales. It tells of Deirdre's escape with Naoise from the old king Conchuir their flight to Scotland, and of Conchur's terrible vengeance.
