Synopsis "Dubliners"

Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories, the last The Dead has remained one of the most poignant stories written by a modern writer. The stories encompass the streets of Dublin, paint a vivid picture of the people from Dublin, and pose questions over life and the unpredictability of it. The protagonists' age as the book progresses, so while the first story is from the point of view of a seven-year-old child, the final story is recognizably about death and old age. Joyce offers us a synthesis of people and their actions, their fears, their misconceptions, their loves, and their hates. Brief zoom-ins into the details that make up Dublin of his time. For readers scared of reading Joyce's Ulysses, Dubliners proves to be a good beginning to his writing.

James Joyce (Dublin, 1882-Zurich, 1941) was an Irish writer, globally recognized as one of the most important and influential of the 20th century, acclaimed for his masterpiece, Ulysses (1922), and for his controversial later novel, Finnegans Wake (1939). His series of short stories titled Dubliners (1914), as well as his semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), have also been highly valued. Joyce is a prominent representative of the avant-garde literary movement known as Anglo-Saxon modernism, alongside authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Ezra Pound, or Wallace Stevens.
