坐落在爱尔兰一个僻静山谷中的Luggala是一座精美的的18世纪住宅，处于占地5000英亩的庄园中心。1973年，Ernest Guinness向他最小的女儿Oonagh展示了Luggala，她将Luggala形容成“爱尔兰最具装饰性的蜜罐”，并将其作为一个令人眼花缭乱的社交界的中心，这个世界包括画家、诗人、学者和社交界名流。20世纪60年代晚期，她将庄园传给了她的儿子Hon Garech Browne，在热情好客和汇聚各种创意人才方面，后者的天赋有过之而无不及。Robert O’Byrne讲述了这个引人入胜的故事。这个故事赞美了这个地方****的美，也赞美了被这个地方不可抗拒地吸引过来的许多名人，从Robert Lowell, Seamus Heaney和 Ted Hughes等作家到John Hurt 和 Daniel Day-Lewis等演员，以及最重要的，包括Mick Jagger和Marianne Faithfull, Bono和 Michael Jackson等在内的音乐家。所有人都被Luggala的魅力所折服。

Luggala explores "the scandals, intrigues, and heartbreaking beauty of one of Ireland's grandest homes" (Mitchell Owens, Wall Street Journal) that has bewitched the imagination of poets, rock stars, dreamers and the aristocracy alike.

Nestled in a secluded Irish valley, Luggala is an exquisite eighteenth-century house at the centre of a 5,000-acre estate. In 1937 Ernest Guinness presented Luggala to his youngest daughter, Oonagh, who described Luggala as ‘the most decorative honey pot in Ireland’ and made it the centre of a dazzling social world that included painters, poets, scholars and socialites. In the late 1960s she passed the estate to her son, the Hon Garech Browne, who has not only maintained but surpassed his mother’s gifts both for hospitality and for bringing together a wide range of creative talents. Robert O’Byrne recounts this fascinating story, which celebrates both the unique beauty of this place and the many celebrated names irresistibly drawn there, from writers like Robert Lowell, Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes, to actors such as John Hurt and Daniel Day-Lewis, and above all musicians, including Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull, Bono and Michael Jackson. All of them have succumbed to the enchantment of days passed at Luggala.
