Dubliners by James Joyce.
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.

Portrait of an Artist as a Young Manby James Joyce. "Perhaps Joyce's most personal work, A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man depicts the intellectual awakening of one of literature's most memorable young heroes, Stephen Dedalus. Through a series of brilliant epiphanies that parallel the development of his own aesthetic consciousness, Joyce evokes Stephen's youth, from his impressionable years as the youngest student at the Clongowed Wood school to the deep religious conflict he experiences at a day school in Dublin, and finally to his college studies where he challenges the conventions of his upbringing and his understanding of faith and intellectual freedom. |
Ulysses
by James Joyce.
In this symphony of a book, Joyce takes the English language, starts
bobbing and weaving, playing and improvising, and doesn't stop for
700 or 800 pages. The book is a mainstay of college literature
courses and is an admittedly daunting read, but too many people
shy away from it and never experience the music of one of the most
amazing pieces of writing ever published.
A classic depiction of exile, estrangement, paralysis, and the
disintegration of a society, Ulysses records the events of one
average day, June 16, 1904, in the lives of three central figures.
