Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
1890s Ireland: Across the city of Dublin, as the River Liffey winds and twinkles through its heart, infinite domestic dramas play themselves out behind lace curtains and broken window-panes, inside quiet parlours and crammed churches, along concrete pavements and cinder paths. Through these are illuminated snippets of the lives of the Dubliners - truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical...and people just striving to get by.
A collection of short stories depicting middle class life in Dublin in the early 20th century. First published in 1914, the stories draw on themes relevant to the time such as nationalism and Ireland's national identity, and cement Joyce's reputation for brutally honest and revealing depictions of everyday Irish life. At the heart of each story is a character's moment of self-realization which serves to further heighten our understanding of life in James Joyce's Dublin.
