"Ireland's Disease" by Philippe Daryl is a reflective examination of Ireland in the 1880s, revealing a nation struggling with widespread poverty and social troubles under political stress. Arriving in Dublin, the author keenly observes the differences between Ireland and England, highlighting the severe poverty and diminished population. In the beginning, he establishes the backdrop for his study of Irish life, depicting the city and the people with a sense of detachment and honesty. He aims to look past pure political talk, seeking to show what life is really like for everyday Irish people, portraying their unemployment, lack of homes, and constant fight against unfair treatment and forced evictions, all while holding on to their strong national identity and traditions.
