This Penguin Classic is performed by Andrew Scott, star of Sherlock, Fleabag and Black Mirror, also known for his on-stage roles in Present Laughter and Hamlet. This definitive recording includes an Introduction by Terence Brown.

Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.

"Scott's intonation and pacing made the book really easy to follow, and the fact that every chapter is a full story kept me engaged for much longer than if I was reading it on the page." i News

Ich finde den Sprecher fantastisch. der irische Akzent allein ist schon schön, aber er modelliert seine Sprache je nach Figuren und hat eine angenehme Stimme. Es macht Spaß zuzuhören.

Toll gesprochen

Mr. Scott's performance makes it an extremely rich experience. Hats off! i felt,it is a pitty, there is no more of the short stories, the ends being impactful, as it is, but still.

In one go!
