Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Dubliners, James Joyce’s first published book, was written when he was still in his twenties. It is far removed from the bold experimentalism of his later work, yet it is essential for understanding his development as a writer. This collection endures as a masterly example of the short-story form.

Although the stories range considerably in tone, mood, and milieu, the fifteen short stories included in this collection all centre around the city of Dublin and its inhabitants at the beginning of the twentieth century. From the unsettling adventure of two truant schoolboys to the crafty schemes of two con-men, from a young woman’s refusal to abandon Ireland and elope with a sailor to a man’s moment of clarity during an annual dance party, these stories offer a moving portrait of an entire world and era which has all but disappeared.

About the Author

Born in Dublin, James Joyce (1882–1941) spent most of his life abroad, living in Trieste, Paris and
Zurich. His writings, however, mainly centre on Dublin – most famously Ulysses, Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. He pioneered and perfected avant-garde prose techniques that saw him rise to the rank of one of Europe’s foremost Modernists.
