Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. It presents a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.

Or a prodigal son whose taken path has driven pain into his own and others hearts… These stories reveal much about the human condition.
