These vivid, tightly focused observations about the life of Dublin's poorer classes originally made publishers uneasy: the stories contain unconventional themes and coarse language, and they mention actual people and places. Today, however, the stories are admired. They are considered to be masterful representations of Dublin done with economy and grace-representations, as Joyce himself once explained, of a chapter in the moral history of Ireland that give the Irish a good look at...

Роман «Экстаз» , как и скандальный «Все оттенки голубого», ужасно эпатажен и донельзя беспощаден к общественному вкусу и морали. Главный герой – Миясита – не только заядлый наркоман, но и поклонник нимфоманства и садомазохизма. Его глазами читатель и увидит этот страшный мир, от которого он – читатель – содрогнется и захочет обрести устойчивость. Как и герой хочет больше не знать, что такое страх.
Книга содержит нецензурную брань.
