Menschen am Rande der Gesellschaft Die ›Dublin Stories‹ gelten als Türöffner zum Werk von James Joyce, einem der sprachgewaltigsten Dichter der Moderne. Die fesselnden und zuweilen irritierenden Erzählungen von Menschen am Rande der Gesellschaft, von denen hier eine Auswahl vorliegt, fügen sich zu einem Kaleidoskop Dublins zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Und wo es nicht ganz leichtfällt, die kraftvolle und unverwechselbare Sprache des Originals zu verstehen, hilft die deutsche Übersetzung weiter. dtv zweisprachig – Die Vielfalt der Sprachen auf einen Blick Die Reihe umfasst drei Sprach-Niveaus – Einsteiger, Fortgeschrittene und Könner – und mittlerweile über 130 Titel in vielen Sprachen.

Einzigartig ist die konsequente Zeilengleichheit zwischen Originaltext und Übersetzung, damit man vom ersten bis zum letzten Wort in zwei Sprachwelten zuhause ist.

That James Joyce’s “The Dead” forms an extraordinary conclusion to his collection Dubliners, there can be no doubt. But as many have pointed out, “The Dead” may equally well be read as a novella—arguably, one of the finest novellas ever written. “The Dead,” a “story of public life,” as Joyce categorized it, was written more than a year after Joyce had finished the other stories in the collection, and was meant to redress what he felt was their “unnecessary harsh[ness].” Set on the feast of the epiphany, it is a haunting tale of connection and of alienation, reflecting, in the words of Stanislaus Joyce (James’s brother and confidant), “the nostalgic love of a rejected exile.” The present volume highlights “The Dead” for readers who wish to focus on that great work in a concise volume—and for university courses in which it is not possible to cover all of Dubliners. But it also gives a strong sense of how that story is part of a larger whole. Stories from each of the other sections of Dubliners have been included, and a wide range of background materials is included as well, providing a vivid sense of the literary and historical context out of which the work emerged.

The Ondt and the Gracehoper is James Joyce's peculiar and hilarious re-telling of Aesop's ancient fable The Ant and the Grasshopper. Although Aesop's fable has been illustrated many times, Joyce's unique take, presented in his last great work, 'Finnegans Wake', has never been interpreted. This book consists of a series of vibrant colour illustratio
