James Joyce`s Dubliners is an enthralling collection of modernist short stories which create a vivid picture of the day-to-day experience of Dublin life.

Joyce`s first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. From `The Sisters`, a vivid portrait of childhood faith and guilt, to `Araby`, a timeless evocation of the inexplicable yearnings of adolescence, to `The Dead`, in which Gabriel Conroy is gradually brought to a painful epiphany regarding the nature of his existence, Joyce draws a realistic and memorable cast of Dubliners together in an powerful exploration of overarching themes. Writing of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, he creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.

„Joyce redeems his Dubliners, assures their identity, and makes their social existence appear permanent and immortal, like the streets they walk“.
- Tom Paulin
