Dubliners
by James Joyce
'Dubliners' Summary
Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, published in 1914. Set in Dublin at the turn of the 20th century, the stories explore the lives of ordinary people grappling with the realities of their existence. Each story captures a distinct aspect of Dublin life, showcasing the city's social and cultural complexities. The stories are characterized by their realism, psychological depth, and use of epiphanies, moments of sudden realization that illuminate a character's true nature or the meaning of a situation. Joyce's exploration of paralysis, a state of stagnation and spiritual immobility, is a recurring theme throughout the collection. The stories are told in a variety of styles and tones, ranging from humorous to tragic, reflecting the diverse experiences of Dublin's inhabitants.Book Details
