Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dubliners" by James Joyce is a collection of fifteen short stories written from 1904 to 1907 and published in 1914. Set in early twentieth-century Dublin, these stories portray Irish middle-class life through a lens of paralysis and disillusionment. Joyce holds up a mirror to his countrymen, exploring themes of nationalism, Catholicism, and British rule. The collection progresses chronologically from childhood through public life, with characters experiencing moments of sudden self-understanding. Each story captures lives marked by stagnation, failed dreams, and the struggle for spiritual liberation in a city caught at history's crossroads.
