Dubliners by A. Walton Litz, Andrew Goodwyn, Bernard MCGinley, James Joyce, Jim Killavey
Joyce's celebrated short-story sequence provides a vivid and disturbing picture of early 20th-century Dublin and its inhabitants, whom Joyce saw as trapped in a repressed and stultifying environment. The stories are divided into five types: childhood, adolescence, marriage, maturity, and various aspects of public life, including politics. They embody Joyce's belief in the value of what he called epiphanies--insights into life that can be compared to the religious concept of the Epiphany, and that Joyce believed art can provide via the transformation of mundane events. The last story, The Dead --the brilliant and moving dissection of a failed marriage--actually takes place on the Feast of the Epiphany.

Le Pere Goriot by A. J. Krailsheimer, Burton Raffel, Honore de Balzac, Peter Brooks, Pierre Georges Castex
Old Goriot has raised his two daughters to be selfish, vain, and greedy; when as adults they treat him badly, repaying his indulgence of their whims with indifference and cruelty, Goriot realizes that they are only behaving as they have been trained to. In this brilliant but bleak novel, virtually every character has been corrupted in some way by money. This is the French-language version of the novel.
