Dubliners / Dubliňané

Joyceovi Dubliňané patří k vrcholným dílům moderní prózy. V patnácti povídkách „jen“ minimalisticky popisuje a analyzuje své bližní, příslušníky dublinské střední třídy z počátku 20. století. Autor se znamenitě vyrovnal s nelehkým úkolem: napsat působivou povídku, v níž se toho vlastně moc neděje. Podařilo se mu to díky zobrazení „epifanie“, okamžiku prohlédnutí, v němž jeho postavy znenadání nazřou pravdu o svém životě. Bilingvní, anglicko-české vydání díla klasika světové literatury určené pro středně pokročilé zájemce o angličtinu.
