The Dead is one of the twentieth century’s most beautiful pieces of short literature. The story centres on Gabriel Conroy a teacher and part-time book reviewer and explores the relationships he has with his family and friends.

James JoyceAuthor
James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century and author of Ulysses. Born in Dublin, he spent most of his adult life in continental Europe. 'The Dead', the final and longest story of Dubliners (1914), is widely regarded as one of the finest short stories in the English language.
