Dubliners

James Joyce

31,238 words

20世紀初頭のアイルランド、ダブリン。この貧しい街では、いたるところで人々が酒におぼれ、不正や暴力が横行していた。孤独や失望、自己嫌悪、絶望感に陥っている人も少なくなかった。これらの物語に登場する人々はみな、無力感にとらわれ、日々の生活の繰り返しの中に閉じこめられ、死を待つだけの人生を送っている。ここから抜け出す方法はあるのか。それとも、不安に駆られたまま一生を終えるのだろうか。

Dublin, Ireland, in the early years of the twentieth century. It is a poor city, and there is hard drinking, dishonesty, and violence just beneath the surface everywhere you look. Glance inside a few people's lives, and you soon find loneliness and disappointment, self-hate, and despair. The people in these stories are paralysed: locked into the circles of their everyday lives, where they are caught waiting between life and death. For some, there is a way out - but will circumstances, or their own fear, stop them from taking it?
