Book excerpt: Dubliners is a collection of picturesque short stories that paint a portrait of life in middle-class Dublin in the early 20th century. Joyce, a Dublin native, was careful to use actual locations and settings in the city, as well as language and slang in use at the time, to make the stories directly relatable to those who lived there. The collection had a rocky publication history, with the stories being initially rejected over eighteen times before being provisionally accepted by a publisher—then later rejected again, multiple times. It took Joyce nine years to finally see his stories in print, but not before seeing a printer burn all but one copy of the proofs. Today Dubliners survives as a rich example of not just literary excellence, but of what everyday life was like for average Dubliners in their day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A famous old film noir about New York ends with the line, "There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them." Well, there were about 400,000 stories in Dublin in 1900, and these are fifteen of them. Joyce set up the collection to move from stories about childhood onto stories about adolescence and finally stories about mature life and public life, all within the confines of Ireland's big city.The Kids Aren't AlrightThe first three stories are all about the life of the kiddo. In the first, a boy finds out that his friend and mentor, an old Catholic priest, had gone crazy before he died. In the second, a boy has a strange conversation with a potential child-molester while skipping school with a friend. And in the third, a boy turns on himself after failing to buy his crush a gift from a traveling market.Teenage WastelandThen it's on to adolescence, when things really start to go downhill. For number four, a girl decides to stay in Dublin rather than leave on a ship for Argentina with her lover. A young man enjoys partying with his high-rolling international friends until he loses a whole lot of dough playing poker with them in the fifth story.In numero six, two guys meet up to talk before one of them tries to seduce a young woman. The last story in the section features a boarding house owner who handles her daughter's affair with one of the boarders by trying to convince him to marry her.I Hope I Die Before I Get OldAdolescence over? Good, it's time to meet some of our more mature characters. The eighth story gives us a usually well-behaved middle-class family man on a bad night of drinking with his wilder and more cosmopolitan friend. In slight contrast, nine tells of a heavy-drinking office worker who pawns his watch to scrounge up some scratch for even more boozing.In the tenth story a poor and single middle-aged woman pays a Halloween visit to the boys she used to nanny. Then, we finish out the set with an introverted and sexually unavailable man finding out the consequences of his rejection of the one person he allowed to get close to him. That's story number eleven, and it's a doozy.Who Are You?Finally, Joyce tells us some stories of public life in Dublin. In the twelfth story, local campaign workers and their circle of friends discuss Irish politics and the legacy of Charles Parnell on the holiday celebrating his memory. Dubliners's lucky number thirteen features an overbearing mother who arranges for her daughter to play piano concerts for money and then causes a major scene when the show doesn't go as planned.

Book excerpt: Dubliners by James Joyce "The Irish are a melancholic bunch" - James Joyce's "Dubliners" proves that old saying. Written in 1914, it is a collection of fifteen stories. The only thread running through the stories and connecting them in Dublin, Ireland. They are organized with the first stories with a child as the narrator, then they progressively age. The characters are middle-class Irish, with varying degrees of national patriotism. The publication of the book was a story in itself. James Joyce sent the book eighteen times to fifteen different publishers. One agreed to publish it if he removed the story, Two Gallants. But, he still refused. Another partially printed it and then refused to return your copy without paying you first. Although he paid them, they still burned him. Fortunately, James Joyce managed to save a copy that he pulled out of them. In 1914 he was finally able to publish it. Dubliners are written simply, with easy-to-follow dialogue. Although it's set in Ireland, it's easy to bond with people when it's located in any middle-income neighborhood. Joyce brings his characters to life using their emotions without using many physical descriptions. The stories are short but to the point. Each story shows an epiphany, or a life-changing moment or an enlightening moment, that changes your point of view. James Joyce wrote these stories with a tendency to closer detail to make the scenarios more realistic. This allows the reader to use the environment to better understand the characters.

Book excerpt: The debut of Ireland's greatest author and one of the most influential voices in modern literature It took nine years for James Joyce to find a publisher for this vivid, uncompromising, and altogether brilliant portrait of Dublin at the turn of the twentieth century. Now regarded as one of the finest story collections in the English language, it contains such masterpieces as "Araby," "Grace," and "The Dead," and serves as a valuable and accessible introduction to the themes that define Joyce's later work, including the monumental Ulysses. Elegantly interweaving a moral history of Ireland with profiles of brave, flawed, and utterly realistic individuals--many of them clearly drawn from the author's own life--experiencing moments of profound insight, Dubliners is an essential work of art. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "DUBLINERS (Modern Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce and they present a penetrating analysis of the stagnation and paralysis of Dublin society. 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 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. They centre on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences a life-changing self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by child protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity. James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he utilized.

Download or read book Dubliners written by James Joyce and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an essay by J. I. M. Stewart. 'Every night as I gazed up at the window I said softly to myself the word paralysis. It had always sounded strangely in my ears ... But now it sounded to me like the name of some maleficent and sinful being. It filled me with fear, and yet I longed to be nearer to it and to look upon its deadly work' From a child grappling with the death of a fallen priest, to a young woman's dilemma over whether to elope to Argentina with her lover, to the dance party at which a man discovers just how little he really knows about his wife, these fifteen stories bring the gritty realism of existence in Joyce's native Dublin to life. With Dubliners, James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental.
