"With just one collection of stories, Joyce left his mark on almost
every short-story writer who followed him" -The Guardian In this
collection of revelatory stories of Dublin in the late 19th
century, James Joyce presented the everyday depiction of ordinary
characters in moments of an epiphany. The fifteen stories begin
with characters in childhood, and progress into adolescence, and
finally into maturity. The final story, "The Dead" is considered
one of the most extraordinary stories ever written in the English
language. Many of the characters within this collection reappear in
Joyce's later work. Dubliners is a remarkably modern work, yet the
most accessible of all of Joyce's writing. Authored in his early
twenties, the short stories were completed in 1907, but were not
published until 1914 due to many passages in the narratives that
were considered too provocative to print. The stories in Dubliners
were initially commissioned by an Irish farming magazine to depict
quaint and brief tales of Irish life. Three stories were published
before the magazine editor deemed the material unsuitable for the
readership. Those appear among this extraordinary collection of 15
stories, which include: The Sisters, An Encounter, Araby, Eveline,
After the Race, Two Gallants, The Boarding House, A Little Cloud,
Counterparts, Clay, A Painful Case, Ivy Day in the Committee Room,
A Mother, Grace, The Dead. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Dubliners is
both modern and readable.
