About this audiobook
James Joyce was an Irish novelist and poet. His short story, The Dead, the concluding story in Dubliners, often considered as one of the best works of short fiction, concerns a Christmas-time gathering in Dublin. With a beautiful use of language and the epiphany common to all the stories in Dubliners this book will remain in your thoughts long after the final emotional passages.
