    James Joyce

    James Joyce was born in Dublin in 1882. He came from a reasonably wealthy family which, predominantly because of the recklessness of Joyce's father John, was soon plunged into financial hardship. The young Joyce attended Clongowes College, Belvedere College and, eventually, University College, Dublin. In 1904 he met Nora Barnacle, and eloped with her to Croatia. From this point until the end of his life, Joyce lived as an exile, moving from Trieste to Rome, and then to Zurich and Paris. His major works are Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Ulysses (1922) and Finnegan's Wake (1939). He died in 1941, by which time he had come to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists the world ever produced.

    • 5/5
      Ten minutes of Dickens touched me deeply and wrenched my soul. This compendium is highly recommended to anyone with an hour to spare.
    • 4/5
      The Tolstoy short story was the best. Many are uneven.
    • 2/5
      I was hoping it would be a collection of Tolstoy short stories.
    • 4/5
      São 6 ótimos contos, um dos quais eu já conhecia. Uma boa leitura.
    • 5/5
      Each narrator brought the story alive
      I recalled only having read one of the stories before. Powerful selection.
