Dubliners

Book • 1914

Dubliners is a collection of short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914.

The stories are arranged to track the lives of Dubliners from childhood to old age, exploring themes such as the 'paralysis' of Irish society, the desire for escape, and the intersection of life and death.

Each story features a different plot and characters but is connected by the theme of epiphany, where characters experience life-changing moments of revelation.

The collection is known for its realistic portrayal of Dublin life, highlighting issues such as alcoholism, religious tension, and political concerns of the time.
