Dubliners

A collection of fifteen short stories, completed in 1906 and published in 1914 after being rejected by many publishers, which represents one of the greatest masterpieces of 20th-century literature. Stories of everyday life that outline the fundamental stages of human life: childhood, adolescence, maturity, old age, and finally death. The schoolboy who does not go to school and encounters the latent perversity of his world, the girl in love mortally bound to her destiny, money as a daily obsession and work as a punishment to be served, the infidelities of life and unfaithful love, conjugal sensuality corroded by an invisible world... Joyce paints an intense portrait of our human condition. Take away the name Dublin from the Dublin in which his characters move, and his stories can explain the loves and moods of men and women everywhere.
