James Joyce "Dubliners"

Publisher: Zangak Language: Armenian Number of pages: 288 Binding: Softcover Year of publication: 2020 In his short story collection "Dubliners," James Joyce set out to depict the story of the spiritual life of his native Ireland, focusing all action around Dublin as the "center of paralysis." The author presents the city, the middle-class people, an atmosphere of indifference, and does so from four perspectives—childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life. Despite their efforts, his characters are unable to break out of their dead end or change the monotonous palette of their lives, yet they remain dreamers, dreaming of a world of escape. One of the most important phenomena found in "Dubliners" is the epiphany—a revelation.
