Dubliners by James Joyce

Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories that capture the everyday lives of ordinary people living in Ireland's capital at the turn of the 20th century. Rather than focusing on grand heroes, James Joyce zooms in on the quiet moments—the small frustrations, the awkward social encounters, and the subtle ways people feel "stuck" in their routines, religion, or social status. The stories move chronologically, starting with tales of childhood and ending with the famous "The Dead," which looks at the lives of older adults. Each story aims to give the reader an "epiphany," a sudden moment of clarity where a character (or the reader) realizes a deeper truth about their world. It’s a beautifully grounded, honest look at the human struggle to find meaning and connection in a city that often feels frozen in time. Jumlah halaman: 240
