Dublinersis a prestigious collection of short stories. Set in the twenties and thirties of the Dublin scenes, it intercepts the lower class's daily lives. With fifteen stories brought together, it's just like an impressionist painting, with concise brush strokes, emerging a desolate world state, distant, cold, however refined, the best product of all. This fifteen stories reflects realism and ironic portrayal of middle and lower classes' life in the early twentieth century Dublin.
《都柏林人》是乔伊斯久负盛名的短篇小说集，置景于二三十年代的都柏林，截取中下层人民生活的横断面，一个片刻一群人，十五个故事汇集起来，宛若一幅印象主义的绘画，笔触简练，错落成篇，浮现出苍凉世态，遥远、清冷，然而精致，是上上之品。这15篇故事，以写实和讽刺的表现手法描绘了二十世纪初期都柏林中下阶层的生活，瘫痪和死亡贯穿全书。
