Written almost a decade before the publication of his magnum opus Ulysses, the fifteen stories that make up Dubliners form James Joyce's first great narrative piece, a tribute to his hometown that already denotes the author's great capacity for observation and mockery, as well as the sensitivity and minimalism typical of his literature. In this collection of stories appear corrupt politicians, failed priests, melancholic adolescents, seducers, gossips, prostitutes, musicians, poets, patriots and homeless people who will serve as inspiration for the later works of the writer and who perfectly describe the complex social reality of early of the 20th century in the Dublin that Joyce made a legend.
