Description

Dubliners by James Joyce

James Joyce has been hailed as one of the great literary rebels of our time. He rebelled against social and literary conventions, against Catholicism, and against Dublin, the city at the center of this magnificent collection of stories.

In Dubliners, Joyce paints vivid portraits of the denizens of the city of his birth, from the young boy encountering death in the first story, "The Sisters," to the middle-aged Gabriel of the haunting final story, "The Dead." This collection is both an unflinchingly realistic portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" and, as Joyce himself explained, a window through which his countrymen could get "one good look at themselves."

A Cornerstone of Modernist Literature

This collection of fifteen short stories represents Joyce's masterful exploration of Dublin life in the early 20th century. Each story captures moments of epiphany and revelation, examining themes of paralysis, escape, and the constraints of Irish society. From childhood through adolescence to maturity and public life, Joyce's characters navigate the complexities of human experience in a city that becomes a character itself.

"The Dead," the collection's final and longest story, stands as one of the most celebrated short stories in the English language. Joyce's innovative narrative techniques and psychological depth influenced generations of writers and established him as a pioneer of literary modernism.

Essential Reading for Literature Students

This edition makes Joyce's groundbreaking work accessible to contemporary readers. Whether you're a student encountering Joyce for the first time or a seasoned reader revisiting these stories, Dubliners offers profound insights into human nature, Irish culture, and the art of short fiction.

About the Author
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.
