The Squashed edition of Ulysses by James Joyce. Abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so, with extensive notes.Squashed editions are precise abridgements - the original ideas, in their own words, the full beam of the book, the quotable quotes and all the famous lines, but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story.""Like reading the bible without all the begats"" - Prof. Jim Curtis

The story follows Leopold Bloom on a seemingly ordinary day in Dublin, during which Bloom's wife, Molly, commits adultery. This experimental novel is among the most important works of Modernist literature. It was initially deemed obscene in England and the USA for its scandalously frank, life-changing reading experience.

Mieszkańcy Dublina okiem jednego z najważniejszych pisarzy XX wieku. Wydany w 1914 roku zbiór opowiadań stanowi realistyczny obraz tego, jak wyglądało życie Irlandczyków na początku XX wieku. Postacie, które pojawiają się w poszczególnych opowiadaniach cyklu czytelnicy mogą odnaleźć także w najsłynniejszym dziele Joyce‘a – "Ulisessie". "Dublińczycy" mogą stanowić dobre wprowadzenie w świat poetyki stworzonej przez autora. James Joyce, słynący z niezwykle trudnych w odbiorze utworów, w cyklu opowiadań nie szarżuje językiem, dzięki czemu są one łatwo przyswajalne, a przy tym utrzymują mistrzowski poziom artystyczny. Zbiór zawiera 15 opowiadań: Siostry, Spotkanie, Arabia, Ewelina, Po wyścigach, Dwaj rycerze, Pensjonat, Chmurka, Umowa Bodley&Kirwan, Wróżby, Przypadek godny ubolewania, Liść bluszczu, Matka, Łaska boża, Zmarli.James Joyce (1882-1941) – irlandzki pisarz uważany za jednego z najważniejszych twórców XX wieku. Większość życia spędził za granicą, głównie we Francji i Szwajcarii. Zadebiutował zbiorem poematów "Muzyka kameralna". Następnie wydał cykl nowel "Dublińczycy", powieści: "Portret artysty z czasów młodości" i "Ulisses" oraz poemat prozą "Finneagans Wake".Jego największe dzieło "Ulisses" zyskało miano "Odysei" XX wieku. Była to jedna z najbardziej nowatorskich powieści w dziejach literatury. Wprowadza bowiem monolog wewnętrzny, ukazujący wielowarstwowość procesów myślowych bohaterów.

Either way, this fragmented evocation of unrequited desire is, in the words of Joyce's biographer Richard Ellmann, a work of 'small, fragile, enduring perfection'. With a new introduction by Colm Toibin.

This volume, which includes Joyce's first published book, Chamber Music, as well as his later collection Pomes Penyeach and several other uncollected poems, reveals a lesser-known facet of the great modernist's artistic career and a glimpse into his poetical sensibility.

Dublinfolk, Joyces første prosaværk fra 1914, handler om mennesker i Dublin, børn og voksne: En skoledreng oplever, hvordan hans ven, en gammel præst, får et slagtilfælde, bliver lam og dør; en midaldrende mand forlader den, han holder af, fordi han ikke længere kan holde samlivet med hende ud; en mand, der er hjemme for at passe sit barn og lader sin irritation over konen gå ud over den lille; en dreng, der kommer for sent til et tivoli ... Det er en verden, hvor omgivelserne har magten over menneskene; mulighederne for at bryde ud er få og små, men de lades ikke uforsøgt.
