Joyce's first major work, written when he was only 25, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.

The author was drawn into the United States Army through ROTC, and he went through training to fly helicopters in combat over Vietnam. His experiences are notable because he flew both Huey “Slicks” and Huey “Gunships”: the former on defense as he flew troops into battle, and the latter on offense as he took the battle to the enemy. Through this book, the author relives his experiences flying and fighting, with special attention given to his and other pilots’ day-to-day lives.

'A Little Cloud' is a brilliant and evocative short story from Joyce's collection Dubliners comparing the lives of those who escaped Ireland and travelled around Europe compared to the quiet, dull existence of those who remain at home. Thomas Chandler meets an old friend, Ignatius Gallaher, for a drink. Gallaher has made a name for himself in London and has been as far as Paris and Berlin. Chandler's life by comparison is unfulfilled. His job is boring, his marriage loveless and his soul weary.

The first novel by James Joyce, this semi-autobiographical narrative depicts the life of Stephen Dedalus, a character created as an allusion to Daedalus, a craftsman in Greek mythology. Beginning by depicting the early stages of Stephen's life, the language of the novel grows with the main character as he awakens sexually and rebels against religion. When he realizes that Ireland is restricting him, he commits to a self-imposed exile and travels elsewhere to grow as an artist - but not before declaring Ireland his homeland.

"Cei morţi" sunt oare morţii din cimitirele Irlandei acoperite de zăpada care nu mai conteneşte să cadă? Şi, printre ei, Michael Furrey, cel despre care Gabriel Conroy află pe neaşteptate de la soţia lui că a murit la 17 ani "din dragoste pentru ea"? Sau "cei morţi" sunt oaspeţii invitaţi de Crăciun, într-o veche casă din Dublin, la petrecerea dată de domnişoarele Morkan, mătuşile lui Gabriel, şi care pleacă de acolo convinşi că în seara aceea "au trăit din plin"?

Finn's Hotel: Ein Ort, wo Menschen kommen und gehen. Mythen, Erzählungen und Kuriositäten aus der irischen Geschichte, von der Ankunft St. Patricks vor tausenden von Jahren bis in Joyce' Zeit. Geschichten von Trinkerei, Religion und leidenschaftlicher Keuschheit, brillant und beredt geschrieben und geprägt von Joyce' unkonventionellem Blick und Humor. Die kleinen Fabeln und Epen komponierte Joyce 1923, ein halbes Jahr nach seinem Hauptwerk "Ulysses" und bevor er sich an die Arbeit zu "Finnegan's Wake" machte. Kleine Geschichten, die zu einer Sensation werden sollten, denn erst Jahrzehnte später wurden sie aus dem Nachlass publiziert und 2013 erstmals auf Englisch veröffentlicht.
