《都柏林人》是詹姆斯·乔伊斯久负盛名的短篇小说集，称得上20世纪整个西方最著名的短篇小说集了。1914年出版，置景于二三十年代的都柏林，截取中下层人民生活的横断面，一个片刻一群人，十五个故事汇集起来，宛若一幅印象主义的绘画，笔触简练，错落成篇，浮现出苍凉世态，遥远、清冷，然而精致，是上上之品。(Dubliners is James Joyce's prestigious collection of short novel and could be known as the most famous Western short novel in the 20th century. Published in 1914, it has been set in the twenties and thirties century in Dublin and chose the interception of people living in the lower section for a moment with a group of people. The combination of 15 stories looks like an impressionist painting with the concise stroke, well-proportioned structure to reflect the fickle, distant, cold but delicate condition and should be known as the novel with top grade.)
