Dubliners by James Joyce

James Joyce's collection of fifteen short stories follows Dublin lives from childhood to maturity, finding moments of disappointment, longing and sudden understanding in everyday encounters. It includes Araby, Eveline, A Painful Case and The Dead. First published in 1914, Dubliners remains a central work of Irish modernist fiction. This 1964 Penguin Modern Classics reprint features Brian Wildsmith's black-and-white cover illustration and the original printed 3/6 cover price. An appealing vintage reading copy for collectors of early Penguin Modern Classics.
