Alistair MacLean: An Sgeulaiche
Alistair MacLean, the Gaelic-speaking international bestselling author, revealed. Soillse air Alasdair MacIlleathain, 霉ghdar f矛or shoirbheachail eadarn脿iseanta le G脿idhlig.
April 2022 saw the centenary of the birth of Scottish novelist and screenwriter Alistair MacLean - one of history's bestselling authors. His action-packed thrillers have sold more than 150 million copies. The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra, Where Eagles Dare and When Eight Bells Toll were all cinema blockbusters.
We reveal how MacLean was a Gael who thought he could have written better in Gaelic than English! With movie clips, readings, and interviews with family and experts, plus archive interviews with the author, the programme celebrates this master of action adventure, and laments his loss to Gaelic literature.
Sa Ghiblein 2022 bithidh ceud bliadhna ann bho rugadh an t-霉ghdar Albannach Alasdair MacIlleathain. Reic na leabhraichean aige cho math ri 霉ghdar sa bith air an t-saoghal: ceud gu leth millean leabhar le sgeulachdan be貌thail d脿nachd. Agus bha feadhainn dhiu s貌nraichte soirbheachail mar filmichean: The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra, Where Eagles Dare agus When Eight Bells Toll.
Se G脿idheal a bh鈥檃nn am MacIlleathain, a bha a鈥檆umail a-mach gum faodadh e bhi air sgr矛obhadh na b鈥檉hearr sa Gh脿idhlig na anns a鈥橞heurla! Tha am pr貌gram a鈥檇猫anamh luaidh air s脿r-sgr矛obhaiche sge貌il gaisgeachd, le c貌mhraidhean leis fh猫in, le a鈥檆h脿irdean agus le e貌laichean, earrainn film agus earrainn leughte; agus a鈥檆aoidh nach robh e a鈥檚gr矛obhadh sa Gh脿idhlig.
