Dubliners

"Dubliners" is a collection of fifteen short stories by the Irish writer James Joyce, published in 1914. In these works, the author masterfully depicts the lives of ordinary residents of Dublin in the early twentieth century: their daily problems, hopes, and disappointments. Each story is a separate narrative, but together they create a multifaceted portrait of Irish society at that time. The collection is characterized by a realistic style and deep psychological insight, allowing the reader to penetrate the emotional state of the characters. Joyce meticulously describes "moments of epiphany"—key episodes in which the protagonists suddenly realize the true essence of their lives. The work is considered one of the most important in the writer's oeuvre and a significant contribution to world literature.
