Book Description
"Don't you think there is a certain resemblance between the mystery of the Mass and what I am trying to do?...To give people some kind of intellectual pleasure or spiritual enjoyment by converting the bread of everyday life into something that has a permanent artistic life of its own."
-- James Joyce, in a letter to his brother
With these fifteen stories James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental. Whether writing about the death of a fallen priest ("The Sisters"), the petty sexual and fiscal machinations of "Two Gallants," or of the Christmas party at which an uprooted intellectual discovers just how little he really knows about his wife ("The Dead"), Joyce takes narrative places it had never been before.
The text of this edition has been newly edited by Hans Walter Gabler and Walter Hettche and is followed by a new afterword, chronology, and bibliography by John S. Kelly. Also included in a special appendix are the original versions of three stories as well as Joyce's long-suppressed Preface to Dubliners.
From Library Journal
Joyce's classic has been recorded before, of course, but in this new version, each of the 15 stories will be read by a different person, including writers Frank McCourt, Malachy McCourt, and Patrick McCabe, and actors Ciaran Hinds and Colm Meaney.

评分乔伊斯曾经说《都柏林人》的创作宗旨:“是要为我国的道德和精神史写下自己的一章”。但我以为,通过乔伊斯那敏锐的观察力揭示出来的有关都柏林人的精神状况,也可以说是全人类,尤其是现代社会人的精神状况。比如,《姐妹们》和《圣恩》所暗示的天主教信仰衰落的事实既...

一开始:竭力要从最平凡的生活中挖掘深意,只是有时候未免本末倒置。不过说是本末倒置,也大概只是我的旧思维作祟罢了。如今:首先,有些时候我说实话要硬撑着看完;第二,最为推崇的最后一篇The Dead,是否要竭力营造出光鲜交际的背后死亡的灰暗回忆其实就在我们的心中无法抹杀。我不够功力?
评分印象深的只剩Araby了,然后乔伊斯的短篇还是很精彩啊!
评分signet classics版,内容无可挑剔,开本较小,封面很漂亮。但《Afterword》好多神句,写评论的人都喜欢绕长句唛!All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
评分"His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead."
评分Araby, Eveline, The Dead, The Dead结尾太美了TwT
