It is a fearless portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century. Fifteen unforgettable stories, including Araby, Grace, and The Dead, delve into the spirit of the city of Joyce's birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners' speech and portraying with brute candor their outer and inner lives.
JAMES JOYCE (1882-1941), one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century, transformed the art of fiction.
