About the Book
A beautiful Pocket Classics collection of stories by great Irish writers past and present
Ireland has a long and glorious literary heritage, and this collection rounds up two dozen short stories from across more than two centuries. The stories here reflect both rural and urban Ireland and a variety of literary styles that Irish writers have excelled at, including humor and crime fiction. The short story form in Ireland experienced a golden age in the middle of the twentieth century, and is currently seeing a similarly remarkable resurgence. The major writers gathered here include James Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen, Liam O’Flaherty, Mary Lavin, Frank O’Connor, John McGahern, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Anne Enright, Roddy Doyle, and Kevin Barry.
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
