Dubliners 
Published in 1914 n the newspaper The Irish Homestead by Joyce with the pseudonym Stephen Dedalus*
Dubliners are described as afflicted people, slaves of their religious, political and cultural habits and of their narrow-mindedness.
All the 15 short stories are set in Dublin ‘The city seemed to me the centre of paralysis,’ Joyce stated.
They don’t focus on an action, but on moments of intensity (“epiphanies”), and lead to a moral, social or spiritual revelation.
