출판사 설명
16th of June is Bloomsday. It is called Bloomsday because 16th of June (1904) is the day covered by James Joyce’s masterpiece Ulysses. Why Bloom? Well, read the novel, it’s one of the greatest ever written. One short interesting fact: James Joyce’s books follow a strange pattern with his works:
1. Dubliners, 1914, a collection of short-stories about the lives of some characters in Dublin
2. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, 1916, – a novel about the formation years (Bildungsroman) of Stephen Dedalus
3. Ulysses, 1922, a highly complex novel, spanning the timeperiod of just one day (June 16, 1904) in the lives of several characters
4. Finnegans Wake, 1939, timespan: one night!
The larger the works, the smaller the timespan covered. Now this is one curiosity that should have you start reading Joyce right away (if you are not already a great fan). To help you in this regard, ReadFWD brings a gift: an ebook made by us, for you: Dubliners, by James Joyce. Enjoy!

4/5
Some chapters strike harder than others. Some classic Joyce beautiful writing, though sometimes the fragmented approach can be a bit dizzying. Still, you’ll smell Ireland and feel the salty wind from the cliffs because of the way this legend writes.
Of Course It’s Great..It’s James Bloody Joyce!
I can’t say more than that.
Beauty is the mind that can write
Joy of Joyce
