"Dubliners - Araby" by James Joyce (story reading)

A story about a schoolboy's adolescent passion, considered by some to be one of the finest short stories ever written.

I abridged it to fit into ten minutes - to properly appreciate it you should read the whole thing:

The picture is of the middle of Dublin in about 1900 when the story was set.

"Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity;and my eyes burned with anguish and anger"

I love the reader's voice, and this is a very fine story.

it seems as if the passion this young boy had was directed towards the young woman he has a crush on. I gathered that he was thoroughly disappointed that he couldnt buy the gift he promised to buy for the young girl because his uncle returned home late & forgot to give him the money to go to the bazaar.
