They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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, and the idea of paralysis where Joyce felt Irish nationalism stagnated cultural progression, placing Dublin at the heart of this regressive movement. Many of the characters in \u003cem\u003eDubliners\u003c\/em\u003e later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of contents \u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Sisters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn Encounter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAraby\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEveline\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAfter the Race\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo Gallants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Boarding House\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Little Cloud\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCounterparts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClay\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Painful Case\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIvy Day in the Committee Room\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Mother\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGrace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Dead\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 7.48 x 4.72 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51794710528288,"sku":"9782491251185","price":23.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5396a6ff3e212a380853f3f3fdc9da7b.webp?v=1780731684","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/james-joyce-dubliners-unabridged-edition-a-collection-of-fifteen-short-stories-by-james-joyce-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
