New to Penguin Clothbound Classics, Joyce's seminal story collection about ordinary Dublin lives
'Joyce's early short stories remain undimmed in their brilliance' Sunday Times
James Joyce's earliest major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time.
The stories within Dubliners are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. Joyce writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and human experience.
'Joyce redeems his Dubliners, assures their identity, and makes their social existence appear permanent and immortal, like the streets they walk' Tom Paulin
