«Dubliners» is James Joyce's collection of fifteen short stories, published by Penguin Books in paperback (256 pages, in English).
The fifteen stories in this volume portray everyday life among the middle class in Dublin at the beginning of the twentieth century. Joyce combines meticulous realism with situations of frustration, paralysis and personal revelations, turning the city, with its contradictions and small defeats, into the thread that links all the stories.
Originally published in 1914; this edition, published on 28 March 1996, belongs to the Penguin Popular Classics series.
For readers of Irish literary classics and short stories, and also for the school environment.
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.
