«Dubliners» is James Joyce's collection of fifteen short stories, published by Grafton in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Collection of fifteen stories in which Joyce portrays everyday life among Dublin's middle class at the turn of the twentieth century. Each story culminates in an epiphany, a moment of revelation that illuminates the condition of its characters. The book spans childhood, adolescence and maturity, and some of its protagonists reappear in Ulysses.
Originally published in 1914, this Grafton edition appeared in 1976.
For readers of classic fiction and short stories, with a particular interest in Irish literature.
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.
