Description

Irish modernist writer and author of Ulysses , James Joyce, brings the city and all its characters alive in six affecting, atmospheric stories selected from his iconic 1914 collection Dubliners . 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.This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector’s Library’s 10th anniversary.
