Colum McCann…………………………………………\u20ac 16.15<\/span><\/h1>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Saol an daonna\u00ed i gcathair ollmh\u00f3r Nua Eabhrac, agus an chaoi a gcastar na daoine ar a ch\u00e9ile i socha\u00ed iln\u00e1isi\u00fanach d\u00e1 leitheid, agus an chaoi, freisin, a fh\u00edtear ollsn\u00e1ith ildualach as sn\u00e1itheanna iomad\u00fala daonna shocha\u00ed na cathrach c\u00e9anna sin. Sin an gn\u00f3 at\u00e1 idir cham\u00e1in ag an \u00fadar, san \u00farsc\u00e9al dra\u00edochta seo. Colum McCann a chuir an sc\u00e9al i dtoll a ch\u00e9ile d\u00fainn, agus caithfear a admh\u00e1il, gur m\u00f3r at\u00e1 muid uilig faoi chomaoin aige as an leabhar crutha\u00edoch, spreag\u00fail, l\u00e1nteannasach, seo, a chumadh d\u00fainn. N\u00ed call dom a mha\u00edomh, gur \u00c9ireannach \u00e9 Colum, fear a rugadh i mBaile \u00c1tha Cliath, sa bhliain 1965. B\u2019ann a t\u00f3gadh \u00e9 freisin, agus chuaigh s\u00e9 le hiriseoireacht leis an Irish Press, i dtosach b\u00e1ire. Ar ball, \u00e1fach, tar \u00e9is d\u00f3 tamall a chaitheamh sna St\u00e1it Aontaithe, agus tar \u00e9is d\u00f3 seal a chaitheamh ag taisteal, chuaigh s\u00e9 fh\u00e9in is a bhean chun c\u00f3naithe i Nua Eabhrac, mar a bhfuil c\u00f3na\u00ed air faoi l\u00e1thair. Bhain s\u00e9 roinnt duaiseanna amach lena chuid scr\u00edbhneoireachta, agus t\u00e1 f\u00e1il ar a shaothar i thart ar thriocha teanga.<\/p>

T\u00e9adchleasa\u00ed<\/h3>

Ach le filleadh ar \u201cLet the Great World Spin\u201d, caithfear suntas a thabhairt don chaoi a gcuireann s\u00e9 t\u00fas lena sc\u00e9al, le cur s\u00edos ar eachtra Philippe Petit, sa <\/span>bhliain 1974, nuair a shi\u00fal an t\u00e9adchleasa\u00ed sin trasna, ar th\u00e9ad rite, \u00f3 cheann amh\u00e1in de th\u00fair an \u201cWorld Trade Centre\u201d go dt\u00ed an ceann eile………<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThose who saw him hushed. On Church Street. Liberty. Cortlandt. West Street. Fulton. Vesey. It was a silence that heard itself, awful and beautiful. Some thought at first that it must have been a trick of the light, something to do with the weather, an accident of shadowfall. Others figured it might be the perfect city joke….\u201d<\/span><\/p>

C\u00e9ard d\u00e9arf\u00e1 faoi sin mar st\u00edl?<\/span><\/p>

Ach n\u00edorbh aon sc\u00e9al grinn, n\u00f3 \u201ccity joke,\u201d a bh\u00ed i gceist sa tarl\u00faint seo in aon chor, ach bh\u00ed duine thuas ansin, 110 st\u00f3r os cionn leibh\u00e9al na sr\u00e1ide, agus \u00e9 ar a bhealach \u00f3 cheann amh\u00e1in de th\u00fair an \u201cWorld Trade Centre\u201d go dt\u00ed an ceann eile, agus \u00e9 ag d\u00e9anamh a shl\u00ed trasna ar th\u00e9ad rite. Sea, bh\u00ed fear thuas ansin, ar a bhealach trasna, agus \u00e9 thuas ansin idir an d\u00e1 shaol.<\/p>

Baineann an t-\u00fadar leas as an tarl\u00faint seo len\u00e1r n-aire a dh\u00edri\u00fa ar chathair Nua Eabhrac, agus sn\u00edonn s\u00e9 an eachtra ch\u00e9anna sin isteach is amach tr\u00edd an sc\u00e9al ar fad, le haontas ait a bhronnadh ar sc\u00e9alta d\u00edchos\u00fala charachtair an \u00farsc\u00e9il uil\u00edoch seo.<\/span><\/p>

Manach buile!<\/h3>

T\u00e9ann s\u00e9 ar aghaidh ansin, le sc\u00e9alta na gcarachtar \u00e9ags\u00fail a r\u00edomh. Tosa\u00edonn s\u00e9 le le h\u00c9ireannach buile, Corrigan, ar chine\u00e1l manaigh \u00e9, manach a bhfuil m\u00f3ideanna cr\u00e1bhaidh glactha aige, sea agus manach a dh\u00e9anann beart de r\u00e9ir a <\/span>bhriathair. I Nua Eabhrac d\u00f3, caitheann s\u00e9 a dh\u00fathracht ag cabhr\u00fa le striapacha bochta na cathrach sin.<\/span><\/p>

Ar ball, caitheann an t-\u00fadar tamall ag cur s\u00edos ar bhu\u00edon m\u00e1itheacha a thagann le ch\u00e9ile in \u00e1ras\u00e1n i \u201cPark Avenue\u201d, le seal a chaitheamh ag smaoineamh, agus ag caoineadh a muintir a cailleadh i gcogadh Viet Nam. Ar ball, cuireann an t-\u00fadar \u201cTillie\u201d in aithne dh\u00fainn, agus \u00ed ag saothr\u00fa a coda le striapachas, agus fi\u00fa nach dt\u00f3gann s\u00ed a hin\u00edon \u00f3g lei ar an r\u00f3d c\u00e9anna sin! Castar breitheamh orainn freisin, an <\/span>fear a bhfuil air c\u00fais an t\u00e9adchleasa\u00ed a thri\u00e1il. Tuigtear d\u00f3 fh\u00e9in go dtugann s\u00e9 breith a raghadh s\u00e9 dian ar Solomon fh\u00e9in \u00e9 a sh\u00e1r\u00fa, b\u00edodh gur Solomon a bh\u00ed ar an mBreitheamh c\u00e9anna seo freisin! N\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1, gur bhain an t-\u00fadar \u00fas\u00e1id as an mBreitheamh Soderberg, le ceangal a shn\u00edomh idir charachtair eile sa sc\u00e9al. Ach, n\u00ed chuige sin at\u00e1 m\u00e9, ach chuige seo. Bh\u00ed an Breitheamh seo chomh br\u00f3d\u00fail as a bhreith is a bheadh madra na gc\u00faig gcos as a chos bhreise! Agus c\u00e9n bhreith a thug an Solamh punc\u00e1nach seo, a<\/span>n ea?<\/span><\/p>

Pingin an St\u00f3r!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Bhuel, ghearr s\u00e9 pingin an url\u00e1r ar \u00e1r dt\u00e9adchleasa\u00ed ild\u00e1nach, agus \u00f3 tharla gur shi\u00fal s\u00e9 c\u00e9ad agus a deich n-url\u00e1r os cionn leibh\u00e9al na sr\u00e1ide, ghearr an Breitheamh Soderberg Dolar a deich air, mar fh\u00edne\u00e1l, agus lena chois sin, chuir s\u00e9 iachall air se\u00f3 eile, saor in aisce, a eagr\u00fa, sea, bheadh air si\u00fal ar\u00eds ar th\u00e9ad rite, ach an babhta seo, chaithfeadh s\u00e9 an tsi\u00fal\u00f3id dlite seo a dh\u00e9anamh i \u201cCentral Park\u201d, le caitheamh aimsire a chur ar f\u00e1il don aos \u00f3g!<\/span><\/p>

Sea, d\u2019fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 lean\u00faint ar aghaidh ag cur s\u00edos ar eachtra\u00ed, agus ar charachtair \u00e9ags\u00fala, an sc\u00e9il seo, ach n\u00edl sl\u00ed n\u00edos fearr leis an eolas sin uilig a bhaili\u00fa chugat fh\u00e9in n\u00e1 an leabhar a fh\u00e1il, is a l\u00e9amh, ar do shuaimhneas.<\/span><\/p>

An-leabhar, an-l\u00e9amh, an-chumad\u00f3ireacht. Ach, caithfidh m\u00e9 a r\u00e1 anois, go ndeachaigh an leabhar seo i gcionn go m\u00f3r orm fh\u00e9in, agus gur bheag n\u00e1r bhain cuid den sc\u00e9al sin, deoir asam, n\u00f3 d\u00e1r liomsa, t\u00e1 an scr\u00edbhneoireacht seo ag scr\u00edobadh beag\u00e1in\u00edn r\u00f3-ch\u00f3ngarach don chn\u00e1mh, mar ar bhealach eic\u00ednt, d\u2019\u00e9irigh leis an \u00fadar a sc\u00e9al a sh\u00e1 isteach go smior na gcn\u00e1mh ionam. Sea, f\u00e9achann an t-\u00fadar seo isteach i gcro\u00ed na f\u00edrinne, agus na beatha, sa turas seo a thugann s\u00e9 tr\u00ed shocha\u00ed agus tr\u00ed shaol anr\u00f3iteach phobal<\/span> an <\/span>\u00daill Mh\u00f3ir<\/span><\/strong> fh\u00e9in <\/span><\/p>
