Dubliners by Joyce, James Format: Trade PaperbackPublished by Modern Library, 2012 One of the greatest story collections in the English language--an unflinching, brilliant, often tragic portrait of early twentieth-century Dublin, with a new introduction by John Banville. With these fifteen stories James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental. Whether writing about the death of a fallen priest ("The Sisters"), the petty sexual and fiscal machinations of "Two Gallants," or of the Christmas party at which an uprooted intellectual discovers just how little he really knows about his wife ("The Dead"), Joyce takes narrative places it had never been before.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
