內容簡介
Dubliners was James Joyce's first major work. Set against the background of Dublin at the turn of the century, he describes, in a frank, realistic style, incidents in the lives of ordinary men and women, made extraordinary by the eye of his genius. The stories deal progressively with youth, adolescence, young adulthood and maturity. Continuity is provided by the themes of repression, entrapment and revolt. But the unique wit of the Irish also bubbles frequently to the surface, relished and splendidly displayed.

作者介紹
喬伊斯（James Joyce, 1882-1941）是著名的現代主義文學大師，以多變的實驗性寫作風格，獨步文壇。他出生在愛爾蘭首府都柏林，及長流亡於歐洲大陸，一輩子以書寫愛爾蘭為職志。他的創作包括短篇小說《都柏林人》、詩集《室內樂》、劇本《流亡者》、長篇小說《一位年輕藝術家的畫像》、《尤利西斯》與《芬尼根守靈夜》。他嘗言要以尖酸刻薄的手法來描繪愛爾蘭人民在英國殖民情境下所呈現的「麻痺」現象。他的書寫是一面批判的鏡子，用來照見愛爾蘭人的真實面貌，並藉此喚醒愛爾蘭人的良知。
James Joyce (1882–1941), an Irish poet and novelist, was one of the most celebrated writers of the twentieth century. His works include Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
