Celibates

MP3 Audio CD. Celibates is a story of three characters: Mildred Lawson, John Norton and Agnes Lahens. They have no similarities of interests other than an infinite love of themselves and an failure to empathize with others. In that streak, it sets up a salient picture of our own prevailing narcissistic society.

George Augustus Moore was an Irish author, short fiction writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and playwright. Moore came from a Roman Catholic wealthy family who resided at Moore Hall in Carra, County Mayo. He firstly dreamed to be a painter, and learned art in Paris in the 1870s. There, he became friends with several of the prominent French artists and authors of his time.

His works inspired James Joyce, in accordance with the literary critic and biographer Richard Ellmann, and, though Moore's opus is at times appeared as beyond the typical Irish and British literature, he is as frequently considered as the first finest modern Irish writer.

His family had resided in Moore Hall, nearby Lough Carra, County Mayo for about a century. Their home was put up by his father?s great-grandfather, also known as George Moore, who was wealthy as a wine tradesman in Alicante. The author?s grandfather was a comrade of Maria Edgeworth, and writer of An Historical Memoir of the French Revolution. His great-uncle, John Moore, was president of the Province of Connacht in the transitory Irish Republic of 1798 in the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
