Dubliners (Signature Editions)

James Joyces luminous short story collection of ordinary Dubliners lives, now in a gorgeous new paperback in the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics line.

Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories portraying the lives of Dublins middle-class during the turn of the twentieth century. Structured from childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and death, each story shows people paralyzed by the mundaneness of everyday life.

At times humorous and others haunting, Joyce explores the loneliness of the human condition, culminating with The Dead, called one of the greatest short stories ever written (T. S. Eliot), where a man experiences an epiphany that changes him forever.
