03 Araby

James Joyce

(4.4 étoiles; 7 critiques)

In the third story of James Joyce's Dubliners, titled "Araby," a boy falls in love with the sister of his friend and embarks on a quest to buy her a worthy gift from the Araby bazaar. This poignant tale reflects life in Ireland at the turn of the last century, revealing unromantic realities through its vivid narrative.

Each of the fifteen stories in Dubliners offers glimpses into the lives of ordinary Dubliners, collectively painting a portrait of a nation. Joyce captures the cadences of Dubliners’ speech and portrays their outer and inner lives with an almost brutal realism. Dubliners is Joyce at his most accessible and profound, featuring unforgettable stories such as “Araby,” “Grace,” and “The Dead.”
