Dubliners (Pocket Edition)

Fifteen short stories by James Joyce depict daily life in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. Considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, Joyce constructs a profound analysis of the stagnation and paralysis of Dublin society of his time, without neglecting universal themes such as childhood experiences, marital relationships, and death. The stories "The Sisters," "A Meeting," and "Arabia" deal with childhood. "Eveline," "After the Race," "Two Gallants," and "The Boarding House" are stories of adolescence. "A Small Cloud," "Counterpart," "Clay," and "A Sorrowful Affair" are plots related to adulthood. Joyce reflects on old age in "Ivy in the Buttonhole," "Mother," and "Grace," and writes about death in one of his most celebrated short stories, "The Dead."
