Dubliners

The last story in this book, The Dead, is one of the most powerful evocations of human loss and longing that the English language possesses; and the other stories are as beautifully turned and as greatly admired. All demonstrate that James Joyce was not only modernism's chief innovator, but also one of its most intimate and poetic writers. In this new edition the text has been revised in line with Joyce's wishes, and the original versions of The Sisters, Eveline and After the Race have been made available for the first time.
