'The Informer' is Liam O'Flaherty's great novel of man's fate--his crimes and punishments. Set in the bitter slums of Dublin, amid Ireland's struggles for freedom, it tells the powerful tale of man's sordid passions, his degradation, and eternal hope. From inside front cover: In the unforgettable story of Gypo Nolan, who committed the unpardonable sin of betrayal, Liam O'Flaherty, Ireland's greatest living novelist, lays bare the soul of man--his temptation and his fall, his agony and salvation--a monumental book, filled with pity and with terror. A tale of temptation, betrayal, and reprisal, this powerful novel is set in the aftermath of the Irish Civil War. It tells of Gypo Nolan, who informs on a wanted comrade. The source of the Academy Award-winning film directed by John Ford.
