Scribner, 2000

'Tis worth reading
This book isn't Angela's Ashes, nor should it be, but I'm disappointed that it couldn't maintain the momentum in Angela's Ashes. This book picks up where Angela left off and appropriately ends with Angela's death. The beginning of this book is filled with humor and ...

Angela's Ashes: A Memoir

Trust Me
I was loaned this book by a friend. He told me just to "trust him" and read it. I was hesitant and wasn't sure if I would like this book, but now you can "trust me". If you have any interest at all in Ireland, culture, sociology, or that particular time period you ...

Dubliners CD

James Joyce, Ciaran Hinds, ...

Caedmon, 2005

Dublin digitally discerned and declaimed
Handsomely produced, elegantly assembled, and consistently engrossing: these actors read the stories with appropriate sensitivity, wit, pathos, and distance. The detachment of Joyce in his "voice" on the page is re-created well. When I have taught students "Araby" or ...

Altamente recomendado
Apenas recibi este libro hace unos dias, y hasta ahora lo he disfrutado mucho. No es tan crudo como "Las cenizas de Angela", y conserva la manera tan particilar en la que McCourt narra sus historias. Es un alivio saber que la situacion del autor no es tan apremiante ...
