Inhaltsangabe

Dublin, 6 January 1904: the Feast of the Epiphany, also known as Women’s Christmas or Nollaig na mBan in Ireland. Gretta and Gabriel Conroy have travelled from Galway to attend an annual dinner party hosted by his aunts, the Morkan Sisters. As the house on Usher Quay fills with laughter, music and dancing, the worries and secrets of the guests interweave and overlap, like the chords and lyrics of a song, to culminate in a shocking confession by Gretta and a life-changing epiphany for Gabriel.The closing story of James Joyce’s Dubliners is widely considered the greatest short story ever written in the English language. His tender portrait of the Dublin of his youth, ‘its ingenuous insularity and its hospitality’, has captivated readers for over a century.With a new introduction by the award-winning and bestselling Irish author, Nuala O’Connor, this exquisite hardback edition of The Dead is a seasonal gift for the ages.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

James Joyce (1882-1941) is regarded as one of the most influential and important authors of the twentieth century. After graduating from University College Dublin, Joyce went to Paris. During World War One, Joyce and Barnacle, and their two children, Giorgio and Lucia, moved to Zurich where Joyce began Ulysses. He returned to Paris for two decades, and his reputation as an avant-garde writer grew. Joyce's works include the short story collection Dubliners (1914); novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939); two poetry collections Chamber Music (1907) and Pomes Penyeach (1927); and one play, Exiles (1918). Every year on 16 June, Joyceans across the globe celebrate Bloomsday, the day on which the action of Ulysses took place, proving Joyce's importance to literature.
