<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Joyce paints vivid portraits of the denizens of the city of his birth, from the young boy encountering death in the first story to the middle-aged Gabriel of the haunting final story, "The Dead". One of the greatest short story collections in the English language.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>James Joyce has been hailed as one of the great literary rebels of our time. He rebelled against social and literary conventions, against Catholicism, and against Dublin, the city at the center of this magnificent collection of stories. <p/>In <i>Dubliners, </i>Joyce paints vivid portraits of the denizens of the city of his birth, from the young boy encountering death in the fist story, "The Sisters," to the middle-aged Gabriel of the haunting final story, "The Dead." This collection is both unflinchingly realistic portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" and, as Joyce himself explained, a window through which his countrymen could get "one good look at themselves."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"In <i>Dubliners</i>, Joyce's first attempt to register in language and fictive form the protean complexities of the 'reality of experience, ' he learns the paradoxical lesson that only through the most rigorous economy, only by concentrating on the minutest of particulars, can he have any hope of engaging with the immensity of the world."-from the Introduction <p/>"Joyce renews our apprehension of reality, strengthens our sympathy with our fellow creatures, and leaves us in awe before the mystery of created things." -<i>Atlantic Monthly </i> <p/>"It is in the prose of <i>Dubliners</i> that we first hear the authentic rhythms of Joyce the poet...<i>Dubliners</i> is, in a very real sense, the foundation of Joyce's art. In shaping its stories, he developed that mastery of naturalistic detail and symbolic design which is the hallmark of his mature fiction." -Robert Scholes and A. Walton Litz, authors of <i>Dubliners: Text and Criticism</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>The Modern Library</b> has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.
