Dubliners

Opis produktu:

Although ranging considerably in tone, mood and milieu, the fifteen short stories included in this collection all centre around the city of Dublin and its inhabitants at the beginning of the twentieth century. From the unsettling adventure of two truant schoolboys to the crafty schemes of two con men, from a young womans refusal to abandon Ireland and elope with a sailor to a mans moment of clarity during an annual dance party, these stories offer a moving portrait of an entire world and era which are about to disappear.

James Joyces first published book, which he wrote when he was still in his twenties, Dubliners is far removed from the bold experimentalism of his later work, but is essential for the understanding of the authors development as a writer and endures as a masterly example of the short-story form.
