Two Gallants

by James Joyce
Two Gallants - Thryft
Two Gallants - Thryft

Realistic portrayal of ordinary working people.

Two Gallants offers a poignant and insightful glimpse into the defeated lives of working-class Dubliners, revealing both tragedy and redemption in its unflinching portrayal of human experience. Readers will find themselves drawn into Joyce's world, sympathizing with his characters and feeling fully invested in their struggles and triumphs.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

'Little jets of wheezing laughter followed one another out of his convulsed body. His eyes, twinkling with cunning enjoyment, glanced at every moment towards his companion's face.''When he was quite sure that the narrative had ended he laughed noiselessly for fully half a minute. Then he said:- Well...! That takes the biscuit!'James Joyce's naturalistic, unflinching portrayal of ordinary working people in his Dubliners stories was a literary landmark. These four stories from that collection offer glimpses of defeated lives - an unremarkable death, a theft, a desperate plan, a failed writer's dream - yet each creates a compelling and ultimately redemptive vision of a city and of human experience.
