James Joyce

(5 estrellas; 3 reseñas)

In this thirteenth story from James Joyce's Dubliners, titled "A Mother," Mrs. Kearney strives to secure a place of pride for her daughter, Kathleen, within the Irish cultural movement by featuring her in a series of concerts. However, her efforts ultimately lead to disappointment.

This poignant narrative reflects life in Ireland at the turn of the last century, revealing unromantic realities and offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Dubliners. Each of the fifteen stories in Dubliners paints a vivid portrait of a nation, capturing the essence of Joyce's Dublin with remarkable clarity.

Joyce's work is both accessible and profound, delving into the heart of the city and portraying the outer and inner lives of its inhabitants.
