James Joyce's The Dead - Unabridged

Written by James Joyce

Narrated by Sara Nichols

The final (and longest) story in James Joyce's short story collection "The Dubliners," "The Dead" is one of Joyce's most beloved works of short fiction.

Taking place at Christmastime, the tale revolves around Gabriel Conroy and his wife Gretta, who are attending a holiday party hosted by Gabriel's elderly aunts. In typical Joycean style, this seemingly mundane setting hides many of the guests' secrets and mysteries, not the least of which is shielded by Gretta herself. When her great secret finally spills forth, it has a profound and immediate effect on Gabriel.
A powerful and elegiac examination of life, love and the very nature of the Irish identity, this volume is presented in its original and unabridged format.
