Newgrange: Monument to Immortality – Digital PDF Edition

Newgrange: Monument to Immortality – Digital Edition

The complete illustrated 2012 book by Anthony Murphy, now available as a downloadable PDF.

Who built Newgrange, and what might have inspired its creators to construct a monument that has endured for more than five thousand years? In Newgrange: Monument to Immortality, author, mythologist and photographer Anthony Murphy explores the archaeology, astronomy and mythology of this extraordinary monument in the Boyne Valley.

Moving beyond the physical stones, the book considers the world of Newgrange’s builders, the winter solstice illumination, the significance of the sun, moon and stars, the myths of Bóann and Aonghus Óg, and the possibility that Newgrange symbolised not only death, but renewal and the enduring human quest for immortality.

This is the original edition, published by The Liffey Press in 2012 and now out of print in its physical form. This digital reader’s edition retains the original text, photographs and illustrations, with printer’s crop and registration marks removed.
