"I am trying...to give people some kind of intellectual pleasure or spiritual enjoyment by
converting the bread of everyday life into something that has a permanent artistic life of its own....Do
you see that man who has just skipped out of the way of the tram? Consider, if he had been run over,
how significant every act of his would at once become."James Joyce

In his first published work in prose, James Joyce paints vivid portraits of the people of Dublin, his city of
birth, in a collection of stories whose larger purpose, he said, was to depict a "moral history of Ireland."
From the first story, in which a young boy encounters death, to the haunting final story involving the
middle-aged Gabriel, the book gives an unflinching and realistic portrayal of "dear, dirty Dublin" in the
early 20th-century. This brilliant study is by turns bawdy and witty, but always darkened by a paralysis
of spirit and emotions.

Frederick Davidson is a recipient of the Golden Voices Award and numerous Earphones Awards. After performing for years in many BBC radio plays, he came to America in 1976. He has narrated more than eight hundred audiobooks.

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cannot do that as much as we would llike. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It is a common problem and it is the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did. Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
