London: You might have read his novels but did you know that James Joyce wrote a letter pleading his publisher to buy his first novel Dubliners? The letter, written nine years before the book was published, has been sold for £32,265 at Christie's in London. Joyce wrote the letter to Heinemann publishers in 1905 when he was 23 — but his work was turned down and he battled for a decade to have it published. It was eventually printed in 1914 but Joyce had left Ireland by then as a result of the numerous rejections. It says: ``The book is not a collection of tourist impressions''. Joyce said he wanted Dubliners to be a chapter of Ireland's moral history, including stories based on childhood, adolescence, maturity and public life.
