  • Trinity is a novel by American author Leon Uris, published in 1976 by Doubleday. The book tells the story of the intertwining lives of the Larkins and O'Neills Catholic hill farmers from the fictional town of Ballyutogue in County Donegal; the Macleods, Protestant shipyard workers from Belfast; and the Hubbles, representatives of three centuries of Anglo-Irish aristocracy. It also tells the story of Ireland from the Great Irish Famine of the 1840s to the Easter Rising of 1916. The book describes a number of historical events, including the Gaelic revival in the early twentieth century, and the Curragh Mutiny in which a British division's officer corps resigned en masse rather than obey an order to disarm gun-smuggling members of the Ulster Volunteer Force. In addition, this foreshadows the Partition of Ireland and the Irish Civil War in 1922-23. The book further portrays the British and Protestant elite's manipulation of religious and ethnic divides to further their own ends as well as deepen the animosity between Catholics and Protestants. The story opens with the funeral of Kilty Larkin, father of Tomas and grandfather of Conor. Amidst the ancient Irish Catholic mourning process, Conor has a vision of the town storyteller who tells Conor of the history of the Fenians, a rebel group from the early 19th century. The sequel, Redemption, completes many loose ends in the saga.
  • Trinity: roman om Irland av Leon Uris kom ut 1976 och översattes samma år till svenska av Anna Pyk. Verket är uppdelat i två böcker: Röd gryning (1976), ISBN 91-20-04773-8, pocketutgåvan 1996, ISBN 91-1-963491-9. Upproret (1977), ISBN 91-20-05813-6, pocketutgåva 1996, ISBN 91-1-963501-X. Dessa handlar om konflikten på Irland under senare delen av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet. Man får följa släkterna Larkin (fattiga katolska bönder) och Hubble (förmögna protestantiska industrialister) på varsin sida av konflikten. Handlingen utspelar sig i nuvarande Nordirland, som då kallades Ulster, huvudsakligen i Derry och i det fiktiva samhället Ballytouge. Som många av Uris verk är den utmärkt som såväl historiebeskrivning som äventyrsroman.
