Dubliners

'Truly exhilarating. . .a vivid, detailed and breathtaking portrait of a city and its citizens' Irish Times In this powerfully influential series of short stories, James Joyce captures uneasy souls, shabby lives and innocent minds in the dark streets and homes of his native city. In doing so, he conjures uncertainties and desires, illumines moments of joy and sorrow otherwise lost in private memory, and pierces the many mysteries at the heart of things.
