About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"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)

Listened to this as part of a set text required for my English Lit degree and absolutely loved it. Andrew Scott makes the stories so much more enjoyable to listen to, with his wonderful Irish accent....could happily listen to him all day!

Loved it!

Andrew Scott brings these characters and stories to life in ways that I think Joyce would have approved of and appreciated.

Wonderful - a must listen for all Dubliners fans

Dubliners has long been one of my favourite books so I did not expect it to be as improved further by such brilliant narration. Andrew Scott brings an array of characters of all ages and from all parts of Dublin, sociological and geographical, to life. Highly, highly recommend.

Wonderful Stories amazingly enhanced

Andrew Scott's narration of A Painful Case (chapter 12) is simply incredible. I have listened to it several times and it repeatedly floors me. He is able to convey with such nuance in his voice the devastating dawning of the character's self-imposed desolation. Joyce's Dublin characters are so vividly alive in this narration, their predicaments and emotions so palpable. It's awful!

Audible: Please include a few seconds pause between the chapters so that the ending of one can sink in before the beginning of the next.

Outstanding narration
