Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first
published in 1914. The stories present a naturalistic depiction of Irish
middle-class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.
The stories centre on Joyce's idea of an epiphany and the theme of paralysis.
The first three stories in the collection are narrated by child protagonists,
while the subsequent stories are written in the third person and deal with the
lives and concerns of progressively older people. Many of the characters in
Dubliners later appeared in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The
collection progresses chronologically, beginning with stories of youth and
progressing in age to culminate in "The Dead". The narrators in Dubliners
rarely mediate, which means that there are limited descriptions of their
thoughts and emotions. The book has been adapted into various media, including
a film adaptation of "The Dead" directed by John Huston in 1987.
