The restless and ruthless hero, ... Read more

  • Dubliners

    by James Joyce ; Jeri Johnson ...

Each of the fifteen stories offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Dubliners - a death, an encounter, an opportunity not taken, a memory rekindled - and collectively paint a portrait of a nation. This edition is ... Read more
