"I am trying...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....Do
you see that man who has just skipped out of the way of the tram? Consider, if he had been run over,
how significant every act of his would at once become."James Joyce
In his first published work in prose, James Joyce paints vivid portraits of the people of Dublin, his city of
birth, in a collection of stories whose larger purpose, he said, was to depict a "moral history of Ireland."
From the first story, in which a young boy encounters death, to the haunting final story involving the
middle-aged Gabriel, the book gives an unflinching and realistic portrayal of "dear, dirty Dublin" in the
early 20th-century. This brilliant study is by turns bawdy and witty, but always darkened by a paralysis
of spirit and emotions.
Frederick Davidson is a recipient of the Golden Voices Award and numerous Earphones Awards. After performing for years in many BBC radio plays, he came to America in 1976. He has narrated more than eight hundred audiobooks.
