Indeed, in the final pages, the Conroys (Gabriel and his wife, Gretta) leave the party at the Misses Morkans’ and retire to their hotel late at night. But it is about those things in a radically different way than you are led to think all through the story. Initially, “The Dead” appears to be about something: a group of people at a party, time passing, death. “The Dead” is set at the Misses Morkans’ annual dance in Dublin, held around the time of the epiphany – the 6th of January – and devolves upon the spiritual epiphany of Gabriel Conroy.

Je prendrai l'autobus a duex heures et j'arriverai dans l'apres-midi. L'aisle de vieillards est a Marengo, a quatre-vingts kilometres d'Alger. J'ai recu un telegramme de l'aisle: "Mere decedee. Now, here's the original text in French from the 1957 Gallimard publication (minus the accents that aren't simple to include):Īujourd'hui, maman est morte. I'll take the two o'clock bus and get there in the afternoon. The old people's home is at Marengo, about eighty kilometers from Algiers. Faithfully yours.' That doesn't mean anything. I got a telegram from the home: 'Mother deceased. With the two-o'clock bus I should get there well before nightfall. The home for aged persons is at Marengo some fifty miles from Algiers. Which leaves the matter doubtful it could have been yesterday. The telegram from the home says: YOUR MOTHER PASSED AWAY. On the surface, I prefer the Gilbert translation as it's much more natural to my eyes and ears (even if it is a bit out-dated): Gilbert: Here are the introductory lines from both. They both exhibit the flaws and choices that characterize the difficulties in translating from any language to another language (even one so simple as French to English): colloquialism vs. Camus may be my favorite writer next to one Henry Charles Bukowski and I have the Gilbert and Ward translations. ![]() ![]() Inspired by the hit TV series The Fugitive, the Deadman stories star costumed highwire performer Boston Brand, who is assassinated by an unknown marksman in his first story. īefore his groundbreaking runs on BATMAN and GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW, legendary comics artist Neal Adams first made his mark in superhero comics with Deadman, star of the DC Comics series STRANGE ADVENTURES.
