Description

Although only 24, James Joyce knew 'Dubliners' worth: to alter it in any way would 'retard the course of civilisation in Ireland'. Each of the 15 stories offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Dubliners - a death, an encounter, an opportunity not taken, a memory rekindled - and collectively paint a portrait of a nation.
