Determined to keep what little he has, he returns to his homeland in Ireland and enrolls at Saint Enda's school in Dublin. Saint Enda's headmaster is the renowned scholar and poet, Patrick Pearse--who is soon to gain greater fame as a rebel and patriot. Ned becomes totally involved with the growing revolution....and the sacrifices it will demand. Through Ned's eyes, 1916 examines the Irish fight for freedom--inspired by poets and schoolteachers, fueled by a desperate desire for independence, and played out in the historic streets of Dublin against the backdrop of World War I. It is the story of the brave men and heroic women who, for a few unforgettable days, managed to hold out against the might of the British Empire to realize an impossible dream. 827068 1998 1916: A Novel of the Irish Rebellion (Irish Century) total:281|5:104|4:97|3:62|2:13|1:5| 281 1125 407 42 4 1 false false Thu May 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 06:53:40 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 05:36:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Mon Nov 17 13:38:03 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 09:30:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Mon Apr 14 11:15:31 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 11:18:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Nov 26 14:43:54 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 14:46:57 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 08:22:04 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 03:56:40 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 17 14:08:52 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 08 09:46:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Nov 06 13:06:54 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 06 13:24:28 -0800 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon May 11 15:46:31 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 15:50:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Aug 14 05:53:48 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 05:57:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Apr 25 07:04:29 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 07:05:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 07:13:34 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 07:23:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Aug 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 15:24:52 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 15:27:37 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 23 12:36:31 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 13:04:13 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 10 09:11:39 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 09:12:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 15 13:38:05 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 13:39:03 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 14:50:57 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 18:55:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue May 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 16:27:58 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 16:32:40 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun May 03 17:55:52 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 17:55:52 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Dec 30 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 08:37:25 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 13:25:44 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jun 21 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Mon Apr 27 13:28:09 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 13:29:53 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=300944
