description: 'When you remember that Dublin has been a capital for thousands of years,' James Joyce once wrote to his brother, 'that it is the "second" city of the British Empire, that it is nearly three times as big as Venice it seems strange that no artist has given it to the world'In Dubliners, completed when Joyce was only twenty-five, he produced a definitive group portrait. It is a book, as Terence Brown suggests in his stimulating Introduction, 'rooted in an intensely accurate apprehension of the detail of Dublin life.' Extensive notes to this new edition fill in the rich network of local and historical references. And yet, beyond its brilliant and almost brutal realism, it is also a book full of enigmas, ambiguities and symbolic resonances. Dubliners remains an undisputed masterpiece, a work that, in Brown's words, 'compels attention by the power of its unique vision of the world, its controlling sense of the truths of human experience as its author discerned them in a defeated, colonial city'.
