Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The fifteen stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.The stories were written at the time 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 center on Joyce’s idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character has a special moment of self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce’s novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by children as 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.

Joyce, James - Gente di Dublino - Language: Italian, Short Stories - Format: ePub
Cronache della paralisi spirituale, politica e sociale di una città, i quindici racconti che compongono Gente di Dublino, primo grande esito narrativo di Joyce e opera fondamentale della letteratura europea contemporanea, sono lo (More) specchio di un’Irlanda avvilita, frustrata, delusa: prigionieri della noia, dell’angoscia, dell’atrofia dilagante, impantanati nell’accidia più bieca, inariditi nell’animo e nei sentimenti, schiacciati da un ristagno generale che toglie ogni energia e impedisce l’azione, i protagonisti di queste storie apparentemente banali, di questi casi quotidiani privi di rilievo, di questi meccanismi consueti del comportamento umano tentano invano di fuggire da una patetica, disperata immobilità. Spogliando il racconto breve degli ultimi orpelli romantici con il suo realismo minuzioso ed essenziale, Joyce contribuì con quest’opera a conferirgli statura artistica e a farne il genere letterario più moderno.
