In Dubliners, James Joyce takes us on an extraordinary journey with the ordinary men and women from the city of his birth. In ‘Araby’ a young boy struggles with everyday tasks in the face of a growing infatuation with his neighbour’s sister; in ‘The Boarding House’ a single mother orchestrates a marriage proposal for her daughter; in ‘The Dead’ the ideas of birth and decay are played out over the course of a dinner.
From short, lyrical stories to the novella-length masterpiece which concludes this collection, Dubliners is as alive with feeling as it was when first published.
