Summary

A city. A people. A turning point in literature.

In Dubliners, James Joyce paints a vivid, intimate portrait of life in Dublin at the turn of the 20th century. Through fifteen interconnected short stories, Joyce explores themes of identity, paralysis, social expectation, and personal revelation—laying the groundwork for literary modernism.

From the innocence of childhood in "Araby" to the haunting climax of "The Dead," Dubliners captures ordinary lives with extraordinary emotional depth and stylistic clarity. This edition includes insightful annotations and historical context, making it ideal for both new readers and serious scholars of literature.

"A perfect introduction to Joyce's world and the human condition." — The Guardian
"Joyce's genius in miniature. Every word matters." — The New York Review of Books

    "In Exile" was first published in  May 1892 issue of the Vsemirnaya Illustratsiya magazine.
The story was inspired by Chekhov's journey through Siberia and his stay in Sakhalin and, in particular, two episodes of this trip.
While on Sakhalin,  Anton Chekhov met a boatman nicknamed Krasivy, a self-professed 'happy man' who struck him with his own peculiar brand of Tolstovian philosophy. It was Krasivy, apparently, who became a prototype for Semyon Tolkovy, the story's hero.

    The Dance of Death is a play in two parts by the Swedish dramatist August Strindberg, written in 1900. It depicts the dissolution of a marriage between Edgar, an artillery captain, and Alice, a former actress. Increasingly isolated in their fort-like house, they manipulate and bait each other, until the unexpected arrival of Curt, Alice's cousin. His presence creates a tense triangular relationship that escalates throughout Part One, and is complicated with the introduction of two of the trio's children, Allan and Judith, in Part Two.
