Dubliners - Enriched edition

James Joyce

Sinossi

James Joyce's 'Dubliners' is a collection of fifteen short stories that provide an intimate portrait of Dublin in the early 20th century. Joyce's writing style is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, vivid imagery, and subtle symbolism. Each story explores themes of paralysis, identity, and the oppressive social and political conditions of the time. 'Dubliners' is considered a seminal work of modernist literature, breaking away from traditional narrative structures and delving into the inner lives of its characters. Joyce's use of stream of consciousness and his innovative narrative techniques set the stage for future experimental writing. The book is a unique blend of realism and surrealism, giving readers a glimpse into the complexities of human experience. An essential read for anyone interested in Irish literature, modernism, or the development of the short story genre.

The Professor's Dragon

Louisa Masters

It was love at first sight . . . with my professor. What's a dragon to do? 
 
 
 
For two years, I've been pining over Professor Sarris. I knew the moment I saw him that we were meant for each other, but it's not to be. For one thing, I was his student, and he's the most ethical man I know. For another, he has no idea I'm actually a four-thousand-year-old dragon from another dimension. 
 
 
 
When my people fled to Earth to avoid extinction, I vowed to clean up my life and stop acting like a fledgling. It's bad enough that nobody takes me seriously . . . sure, maybe I used to be flighty and irresponsible and caused a few interspecies incidents, but that's all in the past. I have big plans for the future, and this college gig is the first step in proving myself. I'm not endangering this fresh start for anyone. 
 
 
 
But then my professor and I wind up at the same party, and suddenly it seems he's not completely out of reach. Except I'm still the adorable flirt nobody wants to rely on, and convincing him we should be together while proving I'm a changed dragon is a monumental task. 
 
 
 
Good thing I'm up for the challenge.
