Dubliners

Fifteen stories. One city. A world of human emotion. First published in 1914, Dubliners is James Joyce's groundbreaking collection of short stories that paints an intimate, unflinching portrait of life in Dublin at the turn of the 20th century. From the youthful awakening of "Araby" to the haunting paralysis of "The Dead," Joyce's characters—ordinary men and women—struggle with love, loss, identity, and the quiet tragedies of everyday existence. With his precise prose, subtle symbolism, and revolutionary narrative style, Joyce captures the soul of a city and the universality of human experience. Dubliners is not just a work of literature—it's a mirror reflecting the yearnings, frustrations, and small triumphs of life itself. "A masterpiece of understated storytelling—Joyce finds the extraordinary in the ordinary." – The Guardian "Required reading for anyone who loves the short story form." – The New York Times ✅ Why Readers Love It:
