In a few words
Complex tales of the Irish city and its inhabitants from the author of Ulysses
In Joyce's eyes, Dublin is the whole world
J.g. Ballard
With just one collection of stories, Joyce left his mark on almost every short-story writer who followed him
In Joyce's eyes, Dublin is the whole world
Joyce made me want to write. His use of language was dazzling, impressionistic but controlled, rhythmic, diverse, achingly lyrical. He made people live on the page. He was serious, hilarious, sensitively romantic, filthy and absolutely honest
Carol Birch
A remarkable collection...this is one to savour and revisit.
...skill, subtlety, diversity and sheer brilliance...Season the mix with the voice of one of the greatest Irish actors ever, and you're talking about a true classic.
More about
the book
In Dubliners, James Joyce takes us on an extraordinary journey with the ordinary men and women from the city of his birth. In ‘Araby’ a young boy struggles with everyday tasks in the face of a growing infatuation with his neighbour’s sister; in ‘The Boarding House’ a single mother orchestrates a marriage proposal for her daughter; in ‘The Dead’ the ideas of birth and decay are played out over the course of a dinner.
From short, lyrical stories to the novella-length masterpiece which concludes this collection, Dubliners is as alive with feeling as it was when first published.

the book
At last, a complete and unabridged recording of Dubliners. James Joyce’s classic collection of stories set in the famous city. Brought to life when read out loud, this audio version is an accessible alternative to the texts, which can often be challenging to read due to Joyce’s acclaimed ‘train of consciousness’ style. Dubliners is also a key text on many school and university courses.
The reader T.P. McKenna was a well-established Irish stage and television actor.
At the root of Joyce’s artistry is a radical uncertainty which allows multiple meanings and implications to live . . . but none to dominate except the idea of the many mysteries at the core of things
Colm TÓibÍn
The vernacular specificity of [Joyce's] prose, his profound understanding of the fallibilities of the human condition and his joyous recountings of his city’s undercarriage at work, ensure that Dubliners retains a status that few have challenged and even fewer attained
