McGuinness, Patrick
Dubliners / James Joyce preface by Patrick McGuinness. - xviii, 262 pages ; 20 cm
This is a collection of fifteen short stories portraying everyday life in Dublin, Ireland, in the early twentieth century. The stories focus on ordinary people from childhood to adulthood and explore themes such as paralysis, identity, religion, poverty, family relationships, and the search for meaning. Joyce presents Dublin as a city where many characters feel trapped by social expectations, political conditions, religion, or personal fears. Through realistic dialogue and detailed observation, the stories reveal moments of sudden self-awareness, which Joyce called “epiphanies.”
