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

    A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
BOOK 2: Though we have properly enough entitled this our work, a history, and not a life; nor an apology for a life, as is more in fashion; yet we intend in it rather to pursue the method of those writers, who profess to disclose the revolutions of countries, than to imitate the painful and voluminous historian, who, to preserve the regularity of his series, thinks himself obliged to fill up as much paper with the detail of months and years in which nothing remarkable happened, as he employs upon those notable aeras when the greatest scenes have been transacted on the human stage.

    The famous phrase of the writer: "Brevity is the sister of talent", could not be more suited to the work of Anton Chekhov himself. One right stroke to mark the character, with apt word to say about the main thing, to precisely place accents and draw a bright three-dimensional picture in just a few minutes is the work of the wizard. No one is as amused as Chekhov, and no one is so sad as he. The collection includes selected stories and stories in which the classic, who entered the history of literature under the frivolous pseudonym Antosha Chekhonte, draws eternal characters that invariably amaze with their psychological nude.This audiobook includes:A Pink Stocking A Country CottageA Daughter of AlbionAn InquiryAt A Summer VillaFat and ThinNervesToo EarlyA Lottery TicketA Story Without An EndAbout LoveDifficult PeopleThe Doctor.

As she leaned over the well to wash the blood away, the spindle fell from her hand and sank out of sight.
