Dubliners

This collection of 15 stories, first published in 1914, offers a portrayal of middle-class life in Ireland, with many characters experiencing moments of epiphany or illumination. Several characters from these stories later appear in James Joyce's novel, Ulysses. The collection includes notable titles such as "Araby," "Eveline," and "The Dead," providing a compelling glimpse into early 20th-century Irish life.
