The Rocky Road to Dublin the story of Seumas MacManus of Donegal told in the third person, thinly disguised, is the tally of its authors own life almost from conscious babyhood to the time when a measure of real success came to him as a writer. In The Rocky Road to Dublin, Seumas MacManus recreates an Ireland that has all but disappeared and a way of life that was hearty, hardy and good, generous and exciting, though streaked with material hardship. MacManus takes you into the homes, the hearts and the passions of true Irish people, with all their sweetness, their bitterness, their sentimentality, their prejudices, their vain-glory, their unquenchable patriotism, their memory for old-wrongs, their hospitality, their generosity; their poverty in things material and wealth in things spiritual; and their everlasting hope and belief that some day, somehow, their land would be free.
