A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN
by James Joyce
with an Introduction by Langdon Hammer
A masterpiece of subjectivity, a fictionalized memoir, a
coming-of-age prose-poem, this brilliant novella introduces
Joyce’s alter ego, Stephen Daedelus, the hero of Ulysses, and
begins the narrative experimentation that would help change
the concept of literary narrative forever.
DUBLINERS
by James Joyce with an Introduction by Edna O’Brien
In these masterful stories, steeped in realism, Joyce creates an
exacting portrait of his native city, showing how it reflects the
general decline of Irish culture and civilization. Joyce compels
attention by the power of its unique vision of the world, its
controlling sense of the truths of human experience.
SILAS MARNER
by George Eliot
with an Introduction by Frederick R. Karl
Eliot’s touching novel of a miser and a little child combines
the charm of a fairy tale with the humor and pathos of
realistic fiction. The gentle linen weaver, Silas Marner, exiles
himself to the town of Raveloe after being falsely accused of
a heinous theft. There he begins to find redemption and
spiritual rebirth through his unselfish love for an abandoned
child he discovers in his isolated cottage.
