"Dubliners" is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.

They center on Joyce’s idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences a life-changing self-understanding or illumination.
