About this deal

Grace – After Mr Kernan injures himself falling down the stairs in a bar, his friends try to reform him through Catholicism.

They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.Joyce's great skill at dialect offers a sense of the city's complex social structure, while themes of isolation, emotional paralysis, violence, regret, and death run throughout the collection and link all of the stories.

The Boarding House" – Mrs Mooney successfully manoeuvres her daughter Polly into an upwardly mobile marriage with her lodger Mr Doran. It actually brought to eyes something unusual from the rest of the stories :) [ See, the incorrigible me! At first glance, Joyce’s stories could be read as a series of naturalistic vignettes, “slices of life” depicting the insignificant day-to-day misfortunes of a few random Irish characters at the turn of the 20th century. Though I do think Ulysses is one of the greatest novels ever written, I don’t think it would be particularly enjoyable for the general population; nor do I think most people “should” read it. The Dead" – After a holiday party thrown by his aunts and cousin, Gabriel Conroy's wife, Gretta, tells him about a boyfriend from her youth, and he has an epiphany about life and death and human connection.A death unveiled the value of oblivious living while a motherly conduct was driven by frustrations and misplaced ambitions. It had always sounded strangely in my ears, like the word gnomon in the Euclid and the word simony in the Catechism. Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. So it was only slowly, over the course of many years, that Dubliners gained recognition for both the modernism and the rather brute realism of its stories.
