Although James Joyce began these stories of Dublin life in 1904, when he was 22, and had completed them by the end of 1907, they remained unpublished until 1914. Their vivid, tightly focused observations of life of Dublin's poorer classes, their unconventional themes, coarse language and mention of actual people and places made publishers of the day reluctant to undertake sponsorship. Today, however, the stories are admired for their intense and masterly dissection of "dear dirty Dublin", and for the economy and grace with which Joyce invested this youthful fiction. (Verlagstext).
