Dubliners was first published in 1914. The book depicts middle-class Catholic life in Dublin at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Elegir leer este libro como motivo de mi viaje a Dublín creo que ha sido la mejor idea que he podido tener. Haber paseado por muchas de las calles que se mencionan en él le ha dado un mayor sentimiento de realidad que me ha ayudado a conectar mejor. Además, considero que la historia de Irlanda es increíblemente apasionante, y junto con lo que aprendí en el viaje, creo que me he llevado una lectura completa de sus problemas sociales, estructurales, de su gente... Todos los "cuentos" aportan algo, y Dublín se construía cada vez más nítida según seguía leyendo. A pesar de ello, quiero destacar "Eveline", "Un caso lamentable" y "Los muertos", mis favoritos.
Dubliners is a collection of short stories. Each story depicts middle-class Catholic life in Dublin. I really felt that each part of this book was a build up without a climax. Every time I got settled into a story it would end and it all felt a bit flat. Throughout the book I often forgot that it was even set in Dublin. I just think there could have been a lot more to keep me enticed as a reader. The last story called 'The Dead' was probably my favourite as it was longer and I felt James Joyce had spent a bit more time on giving me something that I wanted from the other stories. I am going to read some of Joyce's other works to see how he writes longer stories and investigate how his writing style grows with his age. He completed writing Dubliners when he was 25 so it is understandable if this isn't one of his best books.
