The Dubliners by James Joyce

An exceptional collection of short stories that speaks of despair, the aimless, trapped people of a confined country. In this collection, Joyce analyzes the society of Dublin, a microcosm of Ireland. He describes a city surrendered to gloom and misery. His heroes fail to discover meaning in their lives: Eveline has before her the ticket that would free her from a miserable and submissive life, but ultimately she does not dare to embark on her journey to freedom. Corley shamelessly sells love to servant girls to extract money from them and revel with his friends. Lenahan, in his thirties, cannot bear to accommodate himself with tricks and dreams in vain of a good job and his own home. Mrs. Mooney discreetly encourages her daughter's seduction in order to secure a good marriage. Farrington resorts to the pawnshop to be able to show up for drinks with his friends at the pubs and then vents his frustration on his children for his poverty. Young Chandler envies his successful friend in England and feels how futile it is to struggle against fate in a country where to succeed, you must leave it behind...
