[English version below]

Sobhristeacht na beatha; síorghrá an tuismitheora don pháiste; daoine óga ag teacht in aois; cinntí déanta i bhfaiteadh na súl a fhágann a rian go deo. Sa chéad chnuasach gearrscéalta seo dá cuid, pléann Majella Ní Dhomhnaill go soiléir cumhachtach le réimse téamaí a bhaineann le brúnna agus iontais na linne seo.

[Leagan Gaeilge thuas]

The fragility of life, the enduring love of parents for their children, the journey of young people into adulthood, and the irrevocable impact of decisions made in the blink of an eye are profound themes explored in this initial collection of short stories by Majella Ní Dhomhnaill. In these narratives, Majella Ní Dhomhnaill adeptly and powerfully addresses a spectrum of themes connected to the challenges and marvels of contemporary life.

Cuimhní Poircealláin - Leabhar mhí na Bealtaine 2025 | May's Book of the Month 2025.

[English version below]
Is tionscadal de chuid Gaelchultúr Teoranta (www.gaelchultur.com) é ClubLeabhar.com. Bunaíodh an comhlacht Gaelchultúr sa bhliain 2004 agus é mar sprioc aige an Ghaeilge agus an cultúr Gaelach, idir cheol, amhránaíocht agus damhsa, a chur chun cinn i mBaile Átha Cliath agus ar fud na tíre.

Tá sé mar aidhm ag ClubLeabhar.com daoine in Éirinn agus i dtíortha eile ar fud an domhain a spreagadh chun leabhair Ghaeilge a léamh. Is féidir le daoine aonair ballraíocht a bhaint amach sa chlub leabhar seo ar líne ach tá sé mar aidhm againn chomh maith na baill a spreagadh le teacht le chéile uair sa mhí in ionaid éagsúla ar fud na hÉireann agus thar lear chun an saothar a bheidh mar leabhar na míosa a phlé.

Ní thógann sé ach nóiméad clárú don chlub agus níl aon táille i gceist.

Roghnaítear leabhar nua gach mí agus bíonn deis ag na baill plé a dhéanamh ar an saothar i bhfóram an tsuímh. Bíonn fáil ag na baill ar aistriúcháin Bhéarla ar na focail agus frásaí is deacra sna leabhair a bhíonn á bplé, rud a éascaíonn an léitheoireacht go mór.

Tá sé mar pholasaí againn leabhair atá róchasta agus acadúil a sheachaint. Tugtar tús áite d’úrscéalta agus do chnuasaigh gearrscéalta, ach bíonn seánraí eile (filíocht agus leabhair thaistil, cuir i gcás) i gceist ó am go chéile chomh maith. Bíonn meascán ann de leabhair nua-fhoilsithe agus clasaicigh atá fós i gcló.

Más mian leat go mbeadh leabhar Gaeilge a thaitníonn go mór leatsa mar leabhar na míosa ar an suíomh seo, bí i dteagmháil linn!

Tá liosta le fáil ar Clubleabhar.com de na clubanna leabhar Gaeilge atá ag feidhmiú in Éirinn cheana féin agus tá Gaelchultúr ag súil go spreagfaidh an tionscadal seo ar líne daoine le clubanna nua a thosú, ní hamháin in Éirinn ach i dtíortha eile mar na Stáit Aontaithe agus an Astráil ina bhfuil lucht na Gaeilge gníomhach cheana féin. Tá comhairle agus tacaíocht ar fáil sa rannóg Bunaigh Club dóibh siúd a bhfuil spéis acu a gclub leabhar féin a bhunú.

Is féidir na leabhair a bhíonn á bplé ar ClubLeabhar.com a cheannach ar siopa.ie. Ar an suíomh sin, tá deis agat leabhar amháin a cheannach nó beart de na leabhair ar fad a bhíonn á bplé i ngach sraith.

Tá maoiniú á chur ar fáil do Clubleabhar.com ag Clár na Leabhar Gaeilge (Foras na Gaeilge).

The ClubLeabhar.com project is run by Gaelchultúr Teoranta (www.gaelchultur.com). The company was established in 2004 with the aim of promoting the Irish language and various aspects of Irish culture, including music, song and dance, in Dublin and around the country.

ClubLeabhar.com aims to encourage people in Ireland and abroad to read Irish language books. Individuals can become members of this online book club but we also want to encourage the members to meet once a month in various locations around Ireland to discuss the work that will be the book of the month. There is no membership fee.

It only takes a minute to register for the club and there’s no membership fee.

A new book is chosen each month and club members have an opportunity to discuss this book in the website’s forum. Members have access to English translations of the most difficult words and phrases in the books being discussed, which makes reading them a lot easier.

It’s our policy to avoid books that are too difficult or academic. The focus is on novels and short-story collections for the most part, but books from other genres (poetry and travel books, for example) are discussed from time to time. There is a mix of newly-published books and classics that are still in print.

If you would like a book in Irish that you’ve enjoyed to be book of the month on this site, please contact us!

There is a list available on Clubleabhar.com of the Irish language book clubs already functioning in Ireland and Gaelchultúr hopes that this online project will encourage people to start new clubs, not only in Ireland but in countries such as the United States and Australia where Irish speakers are actively involved in promoting the language. Gaelchultúr provides advice and support in the Start a Club section of this site to those interested in establishing their own book club.

The books discussed on ClubLeabhar.com can be bought at siopa.ie. On that site, you can buy one book or a bundle of the books being discussed in each series.

Clubleabhar.com is supported by Clár na Leabhar Gaeilge (Foras na Gaeilge) .
