The first products of Joyce's maturity, these stories look sideways to the tender realism of Chekhov and forward to Joyce's later work "Portrait of the Artist". In the most celebrated tale, "The Dead", the author constructs the first of his poetic monologues. In this edition are published for the first time the original versions of "Eveline", "The Sisters" and "After the Race", which, appearing beside the canonical versions, give the reader an insight into Joyce's working methods.
