First Published in 1914, Dubliners is a beautiful collection of vignettes describing Irish middle class life in and around Dublin at the end of the 19th century. Joyce?s intention in writing Dubliners, in his own words, was to write a chapter of the moral history of his own country and he chose Dublin for the scene because the city appeared to him the centre of paralysis and decay.

First Published in 1914, Dubliners is a beautiful collection of vignettes describing Irish middle class life in and around Dublin at the end of the 19th century. Joyce?s intention in writing Dubliners, in his own words, was to write a chapter of the moral history of his own country and he chose Dublin for the scene because the city appeared to him the centre of paralysis and decay. He tried to present it to the apathetic public under four of its aspects: childhood, adolescence, maturity and public life. ?The Sisters, ?An Encounter? and ?Araby? are stories from childhood. ?Eveline,? After the Race, ?Two Gallants? and ?The Boarding House? are stories from adolescence. ?A Little Cloud. ?? Counterparts, ??Clay and ?A Painful Case? are all Stories concerned with mature life. Stories from public life are ?Ivy Day in the Committee Room. ?A Mother? and ?Grace. ?? The Dead? is the last story in the collection and most certainly Joyce?s greatest. It stands alone and as the Title would suggest, is concerned with death.

Autorenporträt
James Joyce was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1882 and is considered one of the most influential modernist writers of the 20th century. He studied at University College Dublin, where he developed his interest in literature, philosophy, and languages. His early works, including Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, established his reputation as a groundbreaking writer who explored themes of identity, exile, and human consciousness.Joyce spent much of his adult life in self-imposed exile, living in cities such as Paris, Zurich, and Trieste. During this period, he completed his most famous work, Ulysses (1922), which revolutionized the modern novel with its stream-of-consciousness technique and intricate structure. Although controversial and banned in several countries for its explicit content, Ulysses became a landmark of literary innovation and remains a key text in the modernist canon.His final major work, Finnegans Wake (1939), further pushed the boundaries of language and narrative complexity. Joyce's innovative use of language, his deep engagement with Irish identity, and his examination of the inner workings of the mind have cemented his legacy as one of the great literary figures of the 20th century. He died in Zurich in 1941.
