Araby

Listen to Araby by James Joyce, a beautifully observed short story about youthful longing, idealism, disappointment, and the painful awakening of self-awareness. Set in Dublin, the story follows a young boy whose romantic fascination with a girl leads him to the Araby bazaar, where his hopes collide with the realities of the adult world. Perfect for listeners who enjoy classic literature, modernist fiction, coming-of-age stories, psychological realism, and literary short fiction.
