Immobilità e banalità, voglia di fuga e frustrazione. Gente di Dublino è la celebre raccolta di racconti di James Joyce, attraverso la quale lo scrittore...

Questa famosa raccolta di racconti vuole offrire uno spaccato dell’esperienza dublinese di Joyce. I quindici racconti restano sospesi nella nebbia della città, cogliendo delle istantanee nella vita dei suoi personaggi, offerte così, senza un inizio o una fine nel senso stretto della parola.

These vivid, tightly focused observations about the life of Dublin's poorer classes originally made publishers uneasy: the stories contain unconventional themes and coarse language, and they mention actual people and places.

This is a story from the Dubliners, Volume 1 collection. James Joyce's Dubliners is a collection of short stories about the lives of the people of Dublin around the turn of the century.

Many of the characters are desperate to escape the confines of their humdrum lives, though those that have the opportunity to do so seem unable to take it.
