Dubliners Webster s German Thesaurus Edition 1st Edition by James Joyce ISBN 1423776526 9781423776529

Dubliners, first published by James Joyce in 1914, is a seminal collection of short stories that paints a vivid, unflinching portrait of life in early‑20th‑century Dublin. In Webster’s German Thesaurus Edition, this classic text is presented entirely in its original English, but with a helpful twist: difficult or less common words in the text are highlighted, and a running German thesaurus appears at the bottom of each page. This fusion of literature with language support makes this particular edition especially useful for readers who are learning English as a second language or who want to deepen their vocabulary while enjoying the rich subtleties of Joyce’s style. The German thesaurus not only serves as a reference tool but also encourages greater precision and awareness in reading—enabling the English text to remain unaltered while offering immediate lexical assistance. Because Dubliners is structured around themes like paralysis, moral awakening, and the small epiphanies of daily life, the vocabulary can sometimes carry complex social or emotional weight; this edition helps bridge the gap between the reader’s existing understanding and Joyce’s more nuanced expression. Overall, Webster’s German Thesaurus Edition offers an opportunity to engage with Joyce’s artistry more fully, providing both literary experience and linguistic enrichment in one volume.
