Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce'sDublinersis a vivid and unflinching portrait of ""dear dirty Dublin"" at the turn of the twentieth century. These fifteen stories, including such unforgettable ones as ""Araby,"" ""Grace,"" and ""The Dead,"" delve into the heart of the city of Joyce's birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners' speech and portraying with an almost brute realism their outer and inner lives.

Dublinersis Joyce at his most accessible and most profound, and this edition is the definitive text, authorized by the Joyce estate and collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author's original wishes.

Reviews for Dubliners: Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition

A hundred years on . . . Dubliners has been absorbed into our literary landscape, but in the early part of the twentieth century it was the sort of book that hadn't been seen much before, certainly from an Irish writer, and much of it shocked the conventional literary world. . . . [Joyce] was taking the lived landscape of his childhood and transforming it into something universal. . . . The stories contain some of the most beautiful sentences ever written in English. --Colum McCann, from the Foreword
