Dubliners /
Joyce, James, 1882-1941
Dubliners / James Joyce ; introduction and notes by Laurence Davies. - Complete and unabridged edition. - xx, 170 pages ; 20 cm. - Wordsworth Classics .
Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city, Joyce made Dublin unforgettable. The stories in Dubliners show us truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical, and people striving to get by.
In every sense an international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by seeing it unflinchingly and challenging every precedent and piety in Irish literature.
