"Ireland's Disease" by Philippe Daryl is a historical account that reflects on the socio-political conditions of Ireland during the late 19th century. The work captures the author's observations during his visits through Ireland in the 1880s, aiming to expose what he perceives as a chronic condition affecting the country, highlighted by profound poverty and social strife amid political tensions. Daryl's intention is to provide a sincere and detached analysis of the Irish situation, moving beyond political rhetoric to offer genuine insights into the lives of the Irish people. The opening of the book sets the stage for Daryl’s exploration of contemporary Irish life, beginning with his arrival in Dublin and a vivid description of the city and its people. He notes the stark contrasts between Ireland and England, from mannerisms to social life, giving insights into the pervasive poverty and the remnants of national pride despite ongoing oppression. Throughout the introduction and first chapter, Daryl paints a picture of despair among the Irish, marked by unemployment, homelessness, and an ongoing historical struggle against inequality and eviction, while reflecting on the deep-seated national identity and rich cultural heritage that persists amidst adversity.
