06 Two Gallants

James Joyce

Experience the sixth story in James Joyce's acclaimed collection, Dubliners, titled "Two Gallants." This tale follows two con men, Lenehan and Corley, as they encounter a maid willing to steal from her employer. Through this narrative, Joyce offers a candid reflection of life in Ireland at the turn of the last century.

Dubliners presents a vivid and unflinching portrait of “dear dirty Dublin,” capturing the essence of its inhabitants. Each of the fifteen stories, including memorable ones like “Araby,” “Grace,” and “The Dead,” provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Dubliners, revealing their unromantic realities and the complexities of their inner lives.
