What to expect
This curated collection brings together five iconic works from some of Ireland's greatest writers, each offering a distinct voice and vision that helped shape modern Irish literature. From gothic horror to modernist experimentation, biting satire to fading aristocracy, these novels capture the complexities of identity, society, and imagination across centuries.
- Ulysses, by James Joyce – A groundbreaking modernist epic that reimagines parts of Homer's Odyssey in the streets of Dublin, full of wit, depth, and linguistic genius.
-
The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde – A dark, decadent tale of vanity and moral decay, where beauty comes at a terrible price.
-
Dracula, by Bram Stoker – The chilling classic that gave birth to the modern vampire myth, blending horror, suspense, and Victorian anxieties.
-
Dubliners, by James Joyce – A moving collection of short stories capturing the lives, struggles, and quiet epiphanies of ordinary Dubliners at the dawn of the 20th century.
-
Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift – A savage satire disguised as fantasy, this timeless tale critiques politics, science, and human nature through wild voyages and strange lands.
Timeless, provocative, and endlessly relevant,
The Essential Irish Classics Collection is a must-have for lovers of powerful storytelling and literary innovation.
