Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914.
They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written at a time when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. Each of the 15 stories offers glimpses into the lives of ordinary Dubliners, and collectively they paint a portrait of a nation.
