Main Series #1144. Penguin 1st, published 1956.
Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.
Condition grading: Good. Light wear to spine ends and cover corners. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
