This book is a collection of fifteen short stories that begin with child protagonists and later deal with the lives of mature adults. It gives the readers a peek into the lives of ordinary people residing in Ireland and eventually constructs a national portrait. Dubliners were seen as a controversial book when it was first released, owing to the themes it incorporated, some of them being child and spousal abuse, prostitution and suicide.
