Summary: "Dubliners" by James Joyce is a collection of short stories that provides a vivid and realistic portrayal of life in Dublin during the early 20th century. The stories are interconnected by their common setting and recurring themes, offering a snapshot of the social, political, and cultural landscape of the time. The collection begins with "The Sisters," where the death of a priest is explored through the perspective of a young boy.
