The writers gave the most varied interpretations and looked from the most different angles to the human relationship with money - but the final thought is always up to the reader.The critic August Nemo selected seven classic short stories on this subject:- The Money Box by W.W.

QUESTO LIBRO E A LAYOUT FISSOConsiderato uno dei capolavori della letteratura del Novecento, Gente di Dublino, pubblicato nel 1914, consiste in un mosaico di racconti, in cui si rispecchiano le tappe fondamentali della vita umana: linfanzia, ladolescenza, la maturita, la vita pubblica, la morte.Quindici storie immerse nella cornice della magica capitale irlandese, Dublino, con le sue birrerie piene di fumo, il vento freddo, la foschia dei suoi paesaggi, i suoi eccentrici abitanti. Una spietata e nichilista radiografia di una citta e di coloro che si muovono al suo interno, rivelati in tutta la loro comica tragicita; un mondo sospeso tra umiliazioni e ignavia, tra inquietudini e ossessioni.James Joyce (1882-1941) e considerato uno dei piu grandi autori di narrativa del XX secolo. Tra le sue opere: Dedalus (1916); Gli esiliati(1918) e Ulisse (1922).

Controversial, scandalous, erudite and funny, Ulysses is undisputedly a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day - 16th June 1904 - in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin, the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus and Bloom's wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts and encounters form the basis of the narrative, which becomes a celebration of all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time. Ulysses is both an experimental novel and a book intimately concerned with the events of modern life.
