The Dead by James Joyce is often cited as the best work of short fiction ever written. This evocative and beautiful story details a New Year's Eve gathering in Dublin that prompts the protagonist's wife to make a shocking revelation to her husband, culminating in an emotionally powerful epiphany considered one of the best in modern literature.

Set on Nollaig na mBan at 15 Usher's Island, the narrative centers on Gabriel Conroy and his wife Gretta, who attend a party hosted by Gabriel’s aunts. Throughout the evening, Gabriel comes to realize how little he knows of his wife’s past.
