dubliners (alma classics evergreens)

Dubliners (Alma Classics Evergreens) James Joyce's first published book, which he wrote in his twenties, Dubliners is distinct from the experimental nature of his later works, yet remains crucial for grasping the the author's evolution as a writer and stands as an exemplary model of the short-story format. Despite variations in tone, mood, and setting, the fifteen short stories in this collection all focus on the city of Dublin and its residents at the dawn of the twentieth century. From the unsettling experiences of two school-boys skipping class to the intricate plots of two swindlers, from a young woman's decision to stay in Ireland rather than flee with a sailor, to a man's sudden realization during a dance party, these narratives provide a poignant depiction of a world and an era that has largely vanished.
