James Joyce Collection

In short stories, poems and monumental novels, James Joyce set out to discover the meaning of his nationality, simultaneously celebrating and riduculing the history of Ireland in the brilliant style that has made him the most towering figure in the literary landscape of the early twentieth centry. Dublin-born Gabriel Byrne, who has starred in sixteen films, including Little Women and The Usual Suspects reads Joyce's stories in this classic collection. In these short stories from Dubliners and selections from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, esthetic and alienated sensibilities suffer and survive the paralysis and stifling conventions of every life and family.

Joyce's works of inner thought and struggle are more clearly brought to life in this audio version.
