James Joyce’s luminous short story collection of ordinary Dubliners’ lives, now in a gorgeous new paperback in the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics line. Dubliners is a collec tion of fifteen short stories portraying the lives of Dublin’s middle-class during the turn of the twentieth century. Structured from childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and death, each story shows people paralyzed by the mundaneness of everyday life. At times humorous and others haunting, Joyce explores the loneliness of the human condition, culminating with “The Dead,” called “one of the greatest short stories ever written” (T. S. Eliot), where a man experiences an epiphany that changes him forever. Show more
