1. Dubliners (1914) 
A collection of 15 short stories set in Dublin, portraying the everyday lives, struggles, and epiphanies of its citizens. Each story captures themes like paralysis, disillusionment, and the longing for escape, with famous stories like "The Dead" showing how deeply the past and routine trap people.
2. Ulysses (1922) 
An epic novel following one day (June 16, 1904) in the life of Leopold Bloom, as he wanders through Dublin. Structured as a modern retelling of Homer's Odyssey, it's a stream-of-consciousness masterpiece exploring identity, love, loss, and the search for meaning in ordinary life.
3. Poetry (various years)**
Joyce published a small body of poetry, mainly in collections like *Chamber Music* (1907) and *Pomes Penyeach* (1927). His poetry is lyrical, musical, and often explores love, beauty, longing, and melancholy, showing a gentler, more romantic side compared to his dense prose.
4. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) 
A semi-autobiographical novel tracing the intellectual and emotional development of Stephen Dedalus (Joyce’s alter ego) from boyhood to young adulthood, as he struggles against religion, family, and nationality to forge his identity as an artist.
