Dubliners

Resumen del libro

"For the centennial of its original publication, an irresistible Graphic Deluxe Edition of one of the most beloved books of the 20th century Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce's Dubliners is a vivid and unflinching portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century. These fifteen stories, including such unforgettable ones as "Araby," "Grace," and "The Dead," delve into the heart of the city of Joyce's birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners' speech and portraying with an almost brute realism their outer and inner lives. Dubliners is Joyce at his most accessible and most profound, and this edition is the definitive text, authorized by the Joyce estate and collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author's original wishes.

Biografía del autor

(Dublín, 1822 - Zúrich, 1941) es uno de los escritores más influyentes del siglo XX y su novela "Ulises" (1922) está considerada como una de las grandes obras maestras de la literatura universal. Destacado representante de lo que se ha dado en denominar el modernismo anglosajón , encabeza una generación de vanguardistas entre la que aparecen autores como Wallace Stevens, Ezra Pound, Virginia Woolf y T. S. Eliot. Jorge Luis Borges lo comparó con Shakespeare y Thomas Browne, y la "Enciclopedia Británica" asegura que su influencia es tan poderosa y atrae a tantos autores que muchos leen a Joyce sin necesidad de abrir las páginas de sus libros. Entre su obra sobresalen "Dublineses" (1914), "Retrato del artista adolescente" (1916) y "Finnegans Wake" (1939).
