Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Other Works

Experience the gritty, unflinching reality of early twentieth-century Ireland through the eyes of a modernist master.

Born on February 2nd, James Joyce remains one of the most influential voices in literary history. This exquisite Word Cloud Classic edition brings together his most essential early works, offering a comprehensive look at the evolution of his revolutionary style.

The collection features Dubliners, a vivid series of fifteen short stories—including the hauntingly beautiful "The Dead" and "Eveline"—that captures the "paralysis" and secret desires of the Dublin middle class. Alongside it is A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Joyce's groundbreaking semi-autobiographical novel. It follows the intellectual and spiritual awakening of Stephen Dedalus as he rebels against his Catholic upbringing to find his voice as an artist.

Enhanced with additional early writings, this volume is the definitive introduction to Joyce’s genius. With its signature heat-burnished cover and portable trim size, this edition is as beautiful on the shelf as it is practical to carry with you—a must-have for any enthusiast of classic literature.
