James Joyce Dubliners The Dead


(5 étoiles; 20 critiques)

The fifteenth story in James Joyce’s Dubliners, "The Dead" is one of Joyce's most acclaimed works and serves as the final story in his 1914 collection. The narrative centers on Gabriel Conroy and his wife Gretta, who attend a party hosted by Gabriel’s aunts. Throughout the evening, Gabriel comes to realize how little he knows of his wife’s past.

As the story unfolds, Gabriel experiences an epiphany about the nature of life and death during a conversation with Gretta. With a length of 15–16,000 words, this story has also been classified as a novella.

I was pleased by this version of James Joyce’s beautiful story from the Dubliners collection. It has many elements of radio, theater, with a speaker for each character and appropriate audio background for each scene. I look forward to listening to more such productions.
