«Dubliners» is James Joyce's collection of fifteen short stories, published by Penguin Books in hardback (316 pages, in English).
Fifteen stories set in early twentieth-century Dublin portray the lives of Irish middle-class characters: children, young people and the elderly caught between tradition and modernity. Joyce combines meticulous realism with moments of epiphany and frustration, addressing moral paralysis, national identity and the search for meaning in a city marked by its colonial past.
This edition includes an introduction and notes by Terence Brown. The work was originally published in 1914.
Intended for readers of classics of Irish literature and the short story; also appears as common reading in academic contexts.
James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist, poet, and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist movement and is regarded among the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, particularly stream of consciousness. His other well-known works include the short-story collection Dubliners (1914) and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include two books of poetry, a play, correspondence, and occasional journalism.
