People also ask
How does Farrell treat the events in the book 'Ireland'?Farrell cleverly treats these events as both humorous but, at the same time, as symbolic of the state of both the hotel and of British rule in Ireland. More interestingly, no-one, apart from Archer, seems to care or even react to any of these events. There are other interesting characters in the book.

Did farrell'match up' the 'troubles' of the 1970s?Farrell, writing just as the “troubles” of the 1970s were beginning to rise to a boil in Northern Ireland, turned his gaze to a moment 50 years previous and “matched” up the two eras, inviting scrutiny of the connection between the nerves and sinews of different moments in history.

What is any hotel? It is a temporal harbour for a tired wayfarer and traveler along the roads of life. But creative mind can turn an hotel into a much greater allegorical thing.Not far away the two massive, weatherworn gateposts of the Majestic rose out of the impenetrable foliage that lined the sea side of the road. As they passed between them (the gates themselves had vanished, leaving only the skeletons of the enormous iron hinges that had once held them) the Major took a closer look: each one was surmounted by a great stone ball on which a rain-polished stone crown was perched slightly askew, lending the gateposts a drunken, ridiculous air, like solemn men in paper hats. To the right of the drive stood what had once no doubt been a porter’s lodge, now so thickly bearded in ivy that only the two dark oblongs of smashed windows revealed that this leafy mass was hollow. The thick congregation of deciduous trees, behind which one could hear the sea slapping faintly, thinned progressively into pines as they made their way over the narrowest part of the peninsula and then returned again as they reached the park over which loomed the dark mass of the hotel. The size of the place astonished the Major. As they approached he looked up at the great turreted wall hanging over them and tried to count the balconies and windows.The mighty hotel stands as a metaphor for the Empire – it is far past the days of its prime; it is in the state of bleak decline and severe disrepair. And the life of its residents is an allegory of the nation. Deterioration rules but no one really cares.The novel is laden with the brilliant and sharp, even if somewhat blackish, humour all the way through.Empires should be buried in mirth and not in tears.

I read Troubles because it is an esteemed historical novel, known for its richness of comic incident and irony, a novel which treats a place and period I find fascinating (Ireland during the “War of Independence”), but I ended up loving it for very different reasons: I found it to be--in spite of (or because of?) its dark humor--one of the finest romantic Gothics I have encountered. It is redolent with ironies, of course, but they are ironies darkened by tragic waste.It begins in 1919, when British Major Brendan Archer, still a bit shell-shocked from the war, travels to the fictional east coast town of Kilnalough to visit a woman he is almost sure he is engaged to (although he has no memory of proposing). This woman, Angela Spencer, resides in her father’s seaside hotel near Kilnalough, and the historical interest of the book comes from the Major's observations—on and off, during the next two years—of the changes in the atmosphere of the hotel and the town as the Irish desire for independence intensifies, particularly as it affects the decaying Anglo-Irish Protestant gentry, like the Spencer family itself.Just as interesting as the history, however, is the ghost of the gothic which envelops the book. In my gothic interpretation, the sex of the protagonist is reversed, with Major Archer in the role of Jane Eyre or the second Mrs. de Winter: he is intelligent, capable, but a bit damaged, and rather unsure of his position in this unfamiliar world.. Angela, who greets her “fiancee” ambiguously and then disappears somewhere into the upper rooms, suggests the crazy lady in the Rochester attic or the ghost of Rebecca de Winter: could she--and her cryptic letters--hold the key to the secrets of the old Majestic Hotel?The Majestic Hotel! Just like the Rochester mansion or Manderley itself, this old, …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
I do not find many words to write about this novel. While I admire the concept and the writing, the book failed to leave any impression on me. I’ve bought it a while ago but I only got to it thanks to a group read. I am happy I read it with other people because I would have abandoned it otherwise. Even so, I skipped some parts. It is a book about the beginning of the Troubles in Ireland and set in the rundown Majestic Hotel in Kilnalough. I realized the Hotel is a symbol of the decline of the British Empire and the main character, a WW1 veteran, an example of the cluelessness of the regular English person. The book is smart about its metaphors, I agree with that aspect. The humor in this book is dark and often ridiculous, over the top. I should have liked it but it did not touch me at all. The characters did not excite me and I did not understand the role of some of them. I understand this book might be excellent for some but it left me cold.

After previously publishing three sometimes-autobiographical novels, strongly influenced by French existentialism, Farrell first found his great theme in Troubles.
After World War II, the Farrells moved to Dublin, after which Farrell spent much time in Ireland. This, perhaps combined with the popularity of Troubles, leads many to regard him as an Irish writer.
Like Henry Green’s Loving and Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day, Troubles brilliantly captures the comedy and tragedy of characters at a moment of political transformation.
