Dubliners

Penguin Classics

De: James Joyce

Narrado por: Andrew Scott

Brought to you by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Andrew Scott, star of Sherlock, Fleabag, and Black Mirror, also known for his on-stage roles in Present Laughter and Hamlet. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Terence Brown.

Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Scott's intonation and pacing made the book really easy to follow, and the fact that every chapter is a full story kept me engaged for much longer than if I was reading it on the page." (i News)

The last story

It upset me to my core , the pain that all humans feel at times so well told by this gifted writer.

Great performance, missing the appendices

Should have included the appendices in the narration, otherwise, the production is quite good

Outstanding.

Better than television or the movies. Narration was superb. My imagination followed the storylines from beginning to end. Look forward to listening to these stories again and again.

Audible version of The Dubliners

I struggled with Chapter 1 of the book which was a long academic lit.crit type thing, beautifully spoken if a little bombastic.
The rest of the book i.e. The Joyce work
was spellbinding, on relection some of that might have been the “scene setting” done in the first chapter.
Bottom line was i wanted to revisit Dublin soon and look forward to the next James Joyce book on or off Audible

Well Acted and Interpreted

Scott does a wonderful job of injecting personality into each of the characters throughout the 15 stories.

Sound too low

I love this book & have read & listened may times. However sound quality on this version is poor.

Narration excellent

Superior production of the finest short stories. If you love Joyce you will treasure this Audible book.

amazing!

A spectacular performance by Andrew Scott of a literary treasure which is a must-read for all!

No better reader

This isn’t a reading of Joyce, It’s a subtle and beguiling performance, one that confirms the great ‘Dubliners’ as perfectly suited for the stage.

The ending is so lovely

The end of the final chapter turns into something so tender & raw that I was choking back sobs. So very beautifully read by Andrew Scott.
