"There was no doubt about it: If you wanted to succeed you had to go away. You could do nothing in Dublin."
James Joyce's Dubliners is an enthralling collection of modernist short stories which create a vivid picture of the day-to-day experience of Dublin life. Written when he was only twenty-five, when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging, Joyce's first major work brought his city to the world for the first time.
His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. From “The Sisters”, a vivid portrait of childhood faith and guilt, to “Araby”, a timeless evocation of the inexplicable yearnings of adolescence, to “The Dead”, in which Gabriel Conroy is gradually brought to a painful epiphany regarding the nature of his existence, Joyce draws a realistic and memorable cast of Dubliners together in an powerful exploration of overarching themes. Writing of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, he creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.

Džejms Džojs
James Joyce was born in Dublin on 2 February 1882, the eldest of ten children in a family which, after brief prosperity, collapsed into poverty. He was none the less educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, and displayed considerable academic and literary ability. Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all his fiction. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses (1922) and its controversial successor Finnegans Wake (1939), as well as the short story collection Dubliners (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). James Joyce died in Zürich, on 13 January 1941.
