Dubliners is a collection of short stories by James Joyce that was first published in 1914. The 15 stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle-class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written at a time when Irish nationalism was at its peak and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences.

Los quince relatos son una representación, en ocasiones satírica, de las clases media y baja irlandesas, en el Dublín de principios del siglo XX. Joyce, quien sería más adelante pionero en el uso del monólogo interior como recurso narrativo, utiliza en esta obra un estilo realista para ofrecer una descripción de los personajes y la ciudad.

Finn's Hotel: Ein Ort, wo Menschen kommen und gehen. Mythen, Erzählungen und Kuriositäten aus der irischen Geschichte, von der Ankunft St. Patricks vor tausenden von Jahren bis in Joyce' Zeit.
