April 2011: ‘La Maison’ in Connemara – English translation just published by Oldchapel Press, Oldchapel, Oughterard, Co.Galway, Republic of Ireland – www.oldchapelpress.net

Born in 1910, the author of this book was Founder President of ‘Ar Brezhoneg er Skol’, the Union for the teaching of Breton in schools, and Vice President of the ‘Union Régionaliste Bretonne’ in the 1930’s.

Then secretary-general of the Comité Consultatif de Bretagne, and Editor-Political director of two Breton daily newspapers, ‘La Bretagne’, and later ‘L’Avenir de La Bretagne’. He was forced into exile following political events that marked the end of the Second World War, and found refuge first in Wales and then in Ireland. He describes the numerous adventures that led him from the country of the Red Dragon to that of the Golden Harp, and his role as co-founder of the ‘Celtic League’ in 1961.

Finally settling in Connemara, at the extreme west of Ireland, battered by the fierce Atlantic storms, he describes the magnificent scenery, and the unique and rather unusual characters attracted by this remote corner of the world. Developing a lobster and crayfish business, exporting to the continent, while building a house for his family were major challenges that tested the wills of the weather and the local environment. In both Wales and Ireland, he integrated into the local communities, in his descriptions of which, readers will make unexpected discoveries. In the late fifties, undaunted, he resumed his Breton, European and International activities – co-founding the MOB, ‘Movement for the Organisation of Brittany’, and the European Federalist Party in France, as well as representing Brittany for the setting up of the ‘Bureau of Unrepresented Nations’ in Brussels and the ‘Federal Union of European Nationalities’.

‘La Maison’ in Connemara is the second volume of Yann Fouéré’s memoirs. It is a true novel, just like the first volume La Patrie Interdite, and reads like one. But it is also a fundamental document on a part of history that is still misunderstood.

«Yann Fouéré,…des mots pour L’Avenir de la Bretagne »
Biographie (30 pages avec photos) et sélection de textes (1958-1975)

Photo on front cover: 9th Dec.1983 Yann Fouéré at the European Parliament in Brussels, during a meeting of the European Free Alliance (ALE)

LIVRE AU PRIX DE 15 EUROS (frais de port offerts pour le premier exemplaire)

Dans l’histoire du mouvement breton, Yann Fouéré est certainement la
personnalité dont l’action et la réflexion auront marqué le plus
fortement et le plus durablement les esprits. De l’entre-deux-guerres
au XXIe siècle, il a toujours été en première ligne dans le combat
pour une Bretagne majeure.
La pensée du « militant nationaliste breton et fédéraliste européen »
– comme il se définit lui même – a largement influencé le mouvement
breton de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Elle garde toute sa force
et sa pertinence. Opposé à tous les « -ismes du dictionnaire »,
réfractaire à tout enfermement idéologique, Yann Fouéré a su se
montrer pragmatique et ouvert à toutes les expressions visant à doter
la Bretagne de plus larges libertés.
Réunis ici pour la première fois, les éditoriaux rédigés dans le
journal « L’Avenir de la Bretagne », entre 1958 et 1975, permettent à
nouveau d’enrichir la réflexion sur les moyens pour la Bretagne de
maîtriser -enfin – son destin…A partir d’une sélection d’éditoriaux parmi les 250 numéros de
L’Avenir de la Bretagne, on re-découvre dans ce livre les idées fortes
de l’engagement de Yann Fouéré : unité d’action bretonne, conquête de
libertés pour la Bretagne, insertion dans l’Europe des Peuples…
