Description
Selected from his iconic collection set in Dublin, modernist Irish writer James Joyce brings the city and all its characters alive in six affecting, atmospheric stories. Relationships old and new, real and imagined are put to the test in "Eveline" and "Araby." In "A Little Cloud," a young father reflects on his life as he sits in a pub with an old friend, fresh from travels abroad. Could he have done any better with his lot? "A Painful Case" sees a discreet and measured affair run its course, resurfacing one evening as a self-righteous memory. In these stories and more, Joyce examines what it means to be human, in all of its sadness and glory.
Six stories about men and women in Dublin.
