Last Comes the Raven
In these beautifully translated stories, the quality of the writing emerges as clearly as do the ease and range of his inventiveness. Calvino's special gift is to link the physical and immediate with an allegorical timelessness. All the characters and creatures in these stories conspire to convey a feeling of the wonder, mystery and terror of life

Exiles
'The undertow of unspoken feeling is tumultuous, and although hardly anything happens the action amounts to a fearful adventure' New York TimesJames Joyce's play Exiles follows the story of writer Richard Rowan, who, along with his 'common-law wife' Bertha and their son Archie, has come home to Dublin after ten years away. The couple's return triggers an existential questioning, an anxiousness which is exacerbated by meetings with old friends and lovers. All this is set against the background of the summer of 1912, when Ireland and even England were threatening to tear themselves apart over Ulster. Exiles is a profound exploration of jealousy, doubt and the complexity of human desire; it is also about the torments of disunion in both the public and private realm.With a new introduction and notes by Andrew Gibson.
