Product Description

Product Description

'I regret to see that my book has turned out un fiasco solenne' James Joyce's disillusion with the publication of Dubliners in 1914 was the result of ten years battling with publishers, resisting their demands to remove swear words, real place names and much else, including two entire stories. Although only 24 when he signed his first publishing contract for the book, Joyce already knew its worth: to alter it in any way would 'retard the course of civilisation in Ireland'. Joyce's aim was to tell the truth - to create a work of art that would reflect life in Ireland at the turn of the last century and by rejecting euphemism, reveal to the Irish the unromantic reality the recognition of which would lead to the spiritual liberation of the country. Each of the fifteen stories offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Dubliners - a death, an encounter, an opportunity not taken, a memory rekindled - and collectively they paint a portrait of a nation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection of Joyce's Short Stories, 10 Jun 2009
By I. M. Knight (Huddersfield, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Dubliners (Wordsworth Classics) (Paperback)
This book has 15 short stories from James Joyce. My only problem is that I don't think this particular edition has been kept in Joyce's original form and format of writing. However, this collection is a good place to start before going on to his other works and perhaps tackling his masterpiece and what is often regarded as the greatest novel ever written - `Ulysses'.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Dubliners," Penguin Classics, Intro & Notes by Terence Brown (318 pages), 26 Oct 2009
By F. S. L'hoir (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Dubliners (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)
Since the Gremlins at Amazon.co.uk seem to have substituted another edition if one "looks inside" the above icon, I am specifying the edition in place of a title for my review.

It would be presumptuous of me to comment upon Joyce's prose, which in "Dubliners"--in my reader's opinion--seems flawless. I can only tell you the reasons why I adore this book. Joyce views his residents of Dublin--of various ages and social classes--through a melancholy lens, albeit tinged with grace and humor. Of all the stories, my favorite is "Araby," which recaptures the expectations, frustrations, and delusions of adolescence. The stories seem intended to be read in order from beginning to end. Indeed, each story is linked to the next by recurrent vocabulary and imagery--for instance, conceptual images of light and dark, vision & blindness, paralysis, and death--among others--to be understood both literally and figuratively. All these images have been interwoven so carefully that unless one is looking for them, they will be noticed only subliminally; they nevertheless contribute to the feeling of satisfaction after Joyce brings them together in his final heartbreaking paragraph, which will linger in one's thoughts long after one has closed the book.

I especially appreciate the editor's notes in this edition, which clarify a range of topics, including Dublin topography, vocabulary and slang that has gone out of usage, obsolete social and political matters. This Penguin Edition is therefore excellent for students as well as for the serious reader.
