Dubliners

Description

“”Dubliners”” by James Joyce is a collection of fifteen short stories published in 1914, offering a vivid portrait of life in Dublin, Ireland, in the early 20th century. The stories depict the everyday lives of ordinary Dubliners, exploring themes of paralysis, epiphany, and the struggle for identity and meaning. Through detailed and realistic narratives, Joyce delves into the complexities of human nature, social norms, and the constraints imposed by society and religion. Each story builds upon the others to create a mosaic of experiences, culminating in the famous closing story, “”The Dead,”” which encapsulates the collection’s themes with profound emotional depth. James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish modernist writer and one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Known for his innovative narrative techniques and exploration of inner consciousness, Joyce’s major works include “”A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,”” “”Ulysses,”” and “”Finnegans Wake.”” His writing is characterized by its stream-of-consciousness style, rich symbolism, and intricate language. Joyce’s work has profoundly influenced the modernist movement and continues to be a central subject of literary study. —- ISBN: 9798325923364
