Dubliners《都柏林人》是意识流文学作品的开山鼻祖、爱尔兰作家、诗人詹姆斯·乔伊斯的短篇小说集，1914年出版，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。在同样的底色上，《一个青年艺术家的肖像》集中描绘了一个忧郁敏感、在浓郁的宗教氛围中成长起来、具有艺术家气质的青年形象。通过青年之口，乔伊斯表达了自己对宗教、艺术和人生的观点。后来，这个青年继续成长，走进了意识流宏篇《尤利西斯》之中。因此，阅读此书，将有助于阅读《尤利西斯》。

James Joyce's first published book, which he wrote when he was still in his twenties, Dubliners is far removed from the bold experimentalism of his later work, but is essential for understanding the author's development as a writer, and endures as a masterly example of the short-story form.Although ranging considerably in tone, mood and milieu, the fifteen short stories included in this collection all centre around the city of Dublin and its inhabitants at the beginning of the twentieth-century. From the unsettling adventure of two truant school-boys to the crafty schemes of two con-men, from a young woman's refusal to abandon Ireland and elope with a sailor to a man's moment of clarity during an annual dance party, these stories offer a moving portrait of an entire world and era which has all but disappeared.

This book is part of Alma Classics James Joyce Collection to include A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Chamber Music and Other Poems, Finnegans Wake and Ulysses.

Born in Dublin, James Joyce (1882-1941) spent most of his life abroad, living in Trieste, Paris and Zurich. His writings, however, mainly centre on Dublin - most famously Ulysses, Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. He pioneered and perfected avant-garde prose techniques that saw him rise to the rank of one of Europe's foremost Modernists.
