Stephen Dedalus è un artista, un intellettuale, un esteta, un rivoluzionario — ma non qui, o meglio, non ancora. È ancora troppo giovane. Studia, dai gesuiti, lontano dai genitori. Si sente chiuso, però, dalla realtà che lo circonda, dalla città di Dublino, un labirinto da cui non riesce a uscire, un labirinto dalle strade claustrofobiche e dai volti grigi e rigidi. Ma col tempo tutto arriverà; l’iniziazione, artistica e sessuale, spronerà il giovane Stephan a lasciarsi alle spalle la paralisi sociale e religiosa dell’Irlanda, a raggiungere le sue aspirazioni intellettuali ed estetiche. Un romanzo dai tratti autobiografici, un classico senza tempo della letteratura mondiale, in grado di influenzare gran parte della narrativa che lo ha seguito.James Joyce (1882-1941) è stato uno scrittore irlandese, tra i più famosi e importanti della letteratura mondiale. Tra i massimi esponenti del modernismo, con le sue opere ha indissolubilmente influenzato e modellato il modo di scrivere romanzi. Grande sperimentatore, tra le tecniche a lui maggiormente associate e apprezzate c’è sicuramente il flusso di coscienza, tipico principalmente dei suoi ultimi romanzi. Tra le sue opere più note ricordiamo Finnegans Wake, Dedalus: Ritratto dell'Artista da Giovane, Gente di Dublino e Ulisse.

"Solo. Libre, feliz, al lado del corazón salvaje de la vida. Estaba solo y se sentía lleno de voluntad, con el corazón salvaje, solo en un desierto de aire libre y de agua amarga, entre la cosecha marina de algas y de conchas; solo en la luz velada y gris del sol, entre formas gayas, claras de niños y de doncellitas, entre gritos infantiles y voces de muchachas...""Retrato del artista adolescente" es el debut literario del escritor irlandés James Joyce. La novela, publicada como una serie en la revista "The Egoist" y vuelta a publicar, esta vez como libro, en 1916, es un "bildungsroman", o novela de aprendizaje, altamente influenciada por la propia vida de Joyce.Esta novela semiautobiográfica tiene como protagonista a Stephen Dedalus, y relata la infancia y adolescencia de un joven en contra de las convenciones de la sociedad burguesa de su tiempo. Se trata de un relato en tercera persona con una gran libertad y maestría en el uso lenguaje, creando pasajes similares al monólogo interior y otros totalmente libres, donde las palabras y la forma toman las riendas de la narración. La historia fue llevada a la gran pantalla en 1977, a cargo del director Joseph Strick y con Bosco Hogan ("El rey Arturo", "Los Tudors", "Los Borgias") en el papel de protagonista. James Joyce (1882-1941) fue un escritor irlandés. Se le considera una de las figuras literarias más importantes del siglo XX. Su obra más famosa, "Ulises", a menudo se conoce como la "Odisea" del siglo XX. Sigue siendo una de las novelas más innovadoras de la historia de la literatura hasta el día de hoy.

A new edition of the modernist masterpiece, this riverrun edition presents a version of Ulysses that contains the changes to the text that were approved by Joyce himself, during his lifetime.

James Joyces Hauptwerk uber einen Tag in Dublin Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts: In 18 Episoden, die hauptsachlich in Form von inneren Monologen wiedergegeben werden und an Homers "e;Odysee"e; angelehnt sind, beschreibt Joyce den 16. Juni 1904 in Dublin, bei dem die beiden Protagonisten Leopold Bloom und Stephen Dedalus aufeinandertreffen. Der Inbegriff des modernen Romans! -

Ein Meisterwerk der literarischen Moderne uber die Bewohner von Joyces Heimatstadt Dublin: In diesen 15 Kurzgeschichten, die lose chronologisch von der Kindheit bis ins Alter reichen, beschreibt Joyce das Leben der irischen Mittelschicht zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Unter Verwendung der erlebten Rede, die sich weniger auf auere Handlungen fokussiert, geht es oft um das Verhaften in erstarrten Ablaufen, die Veranderungen praktisch nicht zulassen.-

'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' is a coming-of-age novel by Irish author James Joyce, which follows the life and artistic development of young Stephen Dedalus. In it, Joyce explores life in Ireland at the time, as Stephen grows up and finds his way in the world. We follow as he attends college, battles with religion, engages in social and political intrigues, and suffers the embarrassments that come with adolescence, as the young poet struggles to find his direction in life. Semi-autobiographical, 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' is a fascinating insight into life in 20th century Ireland, as well as into the development of Joyce the writer too. -

First published in 1914, ‘Dubliners’ was Irish novelist James Joyce’s first short story collection. The collection explores middle-class life in Ireland in the 20th century and the search for a national identity. Stories in the collection include that of a stereotypical Irish family in ‘Counterparts’, the virtues and stubbornness of the Irish mother figure in ‘Mother’ and a powerful exploration of life and death in ‘The Dead’. A classic collection from one of the most influential and important writers of the century. James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist, poet and short story writer. Born in Dublin, Joyce attended University College Dublin, before moving to Europe with his wife Nora Barnacle. It was whilst living in Trieste that Joyce wrote and published his first book of poems and his short story collection ‘Dubliners’. During WWI Joyce was living in Zurich and it was here that he wrote perhaps his most famous work, ‘Ulysses’. One of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century, his other famous works include ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ and ‘Finnegans Wake’. He died in Paris in 1941 at the age of 58.

James Joyce's only surviving play has divided Joyceans for a century. Illuminating the themes of performance that are so prominent throughout Joyce's fiction, Exiles sees Joyce staking his claim definitively within the European theatrical tradition.

James Joyce fu uno dei più importanti scrittori del XX secolo e la sua raccolta di storie "Gente di Dublino", pubblicata nel 1914, fornisce un quadro realistico di come era la vita in Irlanda all'inizio del 1900. Alcuni dei personaggi che compaiono in "Gente di Dublino" saranno familiari ai lettori dell'altro capolavoro di Joyce, l’ "Ulisse". "Gente di Dublino" è un'eccellente introduzione al lavoro di James Joyce, le cui altre opere sono stilisticamente e linguisticamente più complesse. Qui, la scrittura scorre e le storie sono facili da comprendere, senza perdere la voce magistrale dell'autore irlandese. La raccolta comprende le seguenti 15 storie: "Le sorelle", "Un incontro", "Arabia", "Eveline", "Dopo la corsa", "I due galanti", "Pensione di famiglia", "Una piccola nube", "Rivalsa", "Polvere", "Un caso pietoso", "Il giorno dell'edera", "Una madre", "La grazia" e "I morti".James Joyce (1882-1941) fu uno scrittore irlandese.

La sua opera più famosa è senza dubbio "Ulisse", una sorta di "Odissea" del XX secolo. Rimane ad oggi uno dei romanzi più innovativi nella storia della letteratura.

Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.The stories were written 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. They centre on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences a life-changing self-understanding or illumination, and the idea of paralysis where Joyce felt Irish nationalism stagnated cultural progression, placing Dublin at the heart of this regressive movement. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by child protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity.Table of contents  : The SistersAn EncounterArabyEvelineAfter the RaceTwo GallantsThe Boarding HouseA Little CloudCounterpartsClayA Painful CaseIvy Day in the Committee RoomA MotherGraceThe Dead

Although it is now an acknowledged literary masterpiece, James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was all but rejected when first presented to the world (no one in Britain would publish the work). The book relates the story of Stephen Dedalus, from young child to early manhood, charting his journey of self-discovery, from the trials of boarding school, through the sexual awakening of adolescence and rebellion against Ireland's religious strictures to his own very personal battle to discover meaning and 'a voice' as a budding artist.Stephen Dedalus is James Joyce's alter ego, an attempt at "turning his life into fiction". Joyce himself struggled with all his hero's problems, and the book is patently semi-biographical. More importantly, it is also Joyce's attempt to break free from the rigid literary forms of his time: he uses a variety of experimental techniques to give depth and colour to his narrative, mixing styles to emphasise the chaotic nature of his hero's thoughts, and revealing a gradual complexity of mentation as he moves towards manhood. The result is a surprisingly profound and moving account that succeeds in laying bare, on multiple levels, the complexity of human existence.
