«Dubliners» is the collection of fifteen stories by Irish writer James Joyce, published by William Collins in paperback (256 pages, in English).
The fifteen stories portray everyday life of Dublin's middle class at the beginning of the 20th century with a naturalistic approach. Joyce offers a critical look at Irish society through characters marked by frustration, alienation, paralysis, and the desire to escape their surroundings.
Dubliners was originally published in 1914. This 2012 edition belongs to the Collins Classics series.
For readers of English literature classics and short stories with social portraiture and critique of customs.
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.
