Dubliners


by James Joyce

    
James Joyce is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important writers of the 20th century. His work continues to intrigue and challenge readers across the world yet there are many people who have yet to enjoy Joyce due to the perception that his work is too difficult to read.

Dubliners is perhaps the most engaging and accessible book by Joyce: a collection of fantastic stories set in the Dublin of a bygone age. This accessibility and excellence has made it the perfect choice for Dublin's One City, One Book title for 2012.

Includes an introduction by John Boyne.



Praise for Dubliners

'this is a book that will always be read ... a book about the beautiful thing that is language, the means by which we always come home' Irish Daily Mail



'a pleasant edition' Books Ireland

'James Joyce’s most accessible book and perhaps his most unerringly beautiful one ... if you’ve never read it ... I envy you the magnificent pleasures lying in wait ... a most readable and beautiful collection' Irish Daily Mail

'if you have never actually read our most famous writer ... then the 15 stories in Dubliners are the perfect place to start ... if this is the only book you read this year' Evening Herald

'I had never read Dubliners, as I thought it would be far too ‘serious’ and ‘challenging’ but what I discovered was a fantastic read, full of humour, pain and loss - a must-read for those who love our fair city and those who want to try a bit of Joyce’' dailyupdate.ie
