Dubliners: Araby
by James Joyce15 minutes, 54 seconds
Unabridged Short Story
1914
The adventure and frustration of a first crush.
"Every morning I lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door. The blind was pulled down to within an inch of the sash so that I could not be seen. When she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. I ran to the hall, seized my books and followed her. I kept her brown figure always in my eye and, when we came near the point at which our ways diverged, I quickened my pace and passed her. This happened morning after morning. I had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words, and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood."
The third coming-of-age story in James Joyce's collection Dubliners, classic tales dealing thematically with miscommunication, isolation, class differences, and emotional paralysis in Joyce's Ireland. Read by Alex Wilson.
