James Joyce's first major work, Dubliners provides a fascinating snapshot of early 20th century life in Ireland, bringing his city to the world for the first time.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A Künstlerroman in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939). A Portrait began life in 1903 as Stephen Hero-a projected 63-chapter autobiographical novel in a realistic style. After 25 chapters, Joyce abandoned Stephen Hero in 1907 and set to reworking its themes and protagonist into a condensed five-chapter novel, dispensing with strict realism and making extensive use of free indirect speech that allows the reader to peer into Stephen's developing consciousness. American modernist poet Ezra Pound had the novel serialised in the English literary magazine The Egoist in 1914 and 1915, and published as a book in 1916 by B. W. Huebsch of New York. The publication of A Portrait and the short story collection Dubliners (1914) earned Joyce a place at the forefront of literary modernism.In 1998, the Modern Library named the novel third on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.Stephen Dedalus - The main character of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Growing up, Stephen goes through long phases of hedonism and deep religiosity. He eventually adopts a philosophy of aestheticism, greatly valuing beauty and art. Stephen is essentially Joyce's alter ego, and many of the events of Stephen's life mirror events from Joyce's own youth.His surname is taken from the ancient Greek mythical figure Daedalus, who also engaged in a struggle for autonomy. Simon Dedalus - Stephen's father, an impoverished former medical student with a strong sense of Irish nationalism. Sentimental about his past, Simon Dedalus frequently reminisces about his youth.Loosely based on Joyce's own father and their relationship. Mary Dedalus - Stephen's mother who is very religious and often argues with Stephen about attending services. Emma Clery - Stephen's beloved, the young girl to whom he is fiercely attracted over the course of many years. Stephen constructs Emma as an ideal of femininity, even though (or because) he does not know her well. Charles Stewart Parnell - An Irish political leader who is not an actual character in the novel, but whose death influences many of its characters. Parnell had powerfully led the Irish Parliamentary Party until he was driven out of public life after his affair with a married woman was exposed. Cranly - Stephen's best friend at university, in whom he confides some of his thoughts and feelings. In this sense Cranly represents a secular confessor for Stephen. Eventually Cranly begins to encourage Stephen to conform to the wishes of his family and to try harder to fit in with his peers, advice that Stephen fiercely resents. Towards the conclusion of the novel he bears witness to Stephen's exposition of his aesthetic philosophy. It is partly due to Cranly that Stephen decides to leave, after witnessing Cranly's budding (and reciprocated) romantic interest in Emma. Dante (Mrs. Riordan) - The governess of the Dedalus children. She is very intense and a dedicated Catholic. Lynch - Stephen's friend from university who has a rather dry personality...... James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 - 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde and is regarded as one of the most influential and important authors of the 20th century.....

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. 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. THE STORIES: "The Sisters" - After the priest Father Flynn dies, a young boy who was close to him and his family deals with his death superficially. "An Encounter" - Two schoolboys playing truant encounter an elderly man. "Araby" - A boy falls in love with the sister of his friend, but fails in his quest to buy her a worthy gift from the Araby bazaar. "Eveline" - A young woman weighs her decision to flee Ireland with a sailor. "After the Race" - College student Jimmy Doyle tries to fit in with his wealthy friends. "Two Gallants" - Two con men, Lenehan and Corley, find a maid who is willing to steal from her employer. "The Boarding House" - Mrs Mooney successfully manoeuvres her daughter Polly into an upwardly mobile marriage with her lodger Mr Doran. "A Little Cloud" - Little Chandler's dinner with his old friend Ignatius Gallaher casts fresh light on his own failed literary dreams. The story also reflects on Chandler's mood upon realising that his baby son has replaced him as the centre of his wife's affections. "Counterparts" - Farrington, a lumbering alcoholic scrivener, takes out his frustration in pubs and on his son Tom. "Clay" - The old maid Maria, a laundress, celebrates Halloween with her former foster child Joe Donnelly and his family. "A Painful Case" - Mr Duffy rebuffs Mrs Sinico, then, four years later, realises that he has condemned her to loneliness and death. "Ivy Day in the Committee Room" - Minor politicians fail to live up to the memory of Charles Stewart Parnell. "A Mother" - Mrs Kearney tries to win a place of pride for her daughter, Kathleen, in the Irish cultural movement, by starring her in a series of concerts, but ultimately fails. "Grace" - After Mr Kernan injures himself falling down the stairs in a bar, his friends try to reform him through Catholicism. "The Dead" - Gabriel Conroy attends a party, and later, as he speaks with his wife, has an epiphany about the nature of life and death. At 15-16,000 words this story has also been classified as a novella. The Dead was adapted into a film by John Huston, written for the screen by his son Tony and starring his daughter Anjelica as Mrs. Conroy.... James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 - 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet.........

The stories were written at the time 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 center on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character has a special moment of self-understanding or illumination. 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 children as 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.

Publicado en 1914, Dublineses es uno de los libros de relatos más unitarios y perfectos alumbrados por un autor. Pese a gravitar en su totalidad en torno a Dublín y sus personajes enmarcados en un periodo histórico muy concreto (el que habría de anteceder en breve a la independencia de la católica Irlanda respecto al protestante Reino Unido, y sobre todo Inglaterra), James Joyce (1882-1941) muestra en los quince cuentos que integran la obra una sensibilidad y penetración difícilmente igualables a la hora de captar la naturaleza humana en sus distintas edades y condiciones, así como en el laberinto de las relaciones personales y sociales. La impecable estructura del libro, que parte de las primeras experiencias infantiles para ir recorriendo el arco de la existencia humana, culmina en esa obra maestra que es el relato titulado Los muertos sin duda alguna una de las cumbres del género.

Experimental novel by James Joyce. Extracts of the work appeared as Work in Progress from 1928 to 1937, and it was published in its entirety as Finnegans Wake in 1939. The book is, in one sense, the story of a publican in Chapelizod (near Dublin), his wife, and their three children; but Mr. Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, Mrs. Anna Livia Plurabelle, and Kevin, Jerry, and Isabel are every family of mankind. The motive idea of the novel, inspired by the 18th-century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico, is that history is cyclic; to demonstrate this the book begins with the end of a sentence left unfinished on the last page. Languages merge: Anna Livia has "vlossyhair"--wlosy being Polish for "hair"; "a bad of wind" blows--bad being Persian for "wind." Characters from literature and history appear and merge and disappear. On another level, the protagonists are the city of Dublin and the River Liffey standing as representatives of the history of Ireland and, by extension, of all human history. As he had in his earlier work Ulysses, Joyce drew upon an encyclopedic range of literary works. His strange polyglot idiom of puns and portmanteau words is intended to convey not only the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious but also the interweaving of Irish language and mythology with the languages and mythologies of many other cultures.

DUBLINERS by JAMES JOYCE 1882-1941Large Print

This is a beautifully-designed edition of James Joyce's classic DUBLINERS. Complete and Unabridged.

La obra monumental de James Joyce. Ulises es el relato de un día en la vida de 3 personajes Leopold Bloom, su mujer Molly y el joven Stephen Dedalus. Un viaje de un día, una Odisea inversa, en la que los temás tópicamente homéricos se invierten y subvierten a través de un grupo decididamente antiheroico cuya tragedia raya la comicidad. Relato paródico de la épica de la condición humana y de Dublín y sus buenas costumbres cuya estructura, desbordantemente vanguardista avisa a cada rato de su dificultad y exige la máxima dedicación. Ulises es un libro altisonante, soez y erudito donde los haya que ofrece una literatura distinta, extraña, ocasinalmente molesta y sin duda excepcional.

Ulysses has been labeled dirty, blasphemous, and unreadable. In a famous 1933 court decision, Judge John M. Woolsey declared it an emetic book--although he found it sufficiently unobscene to allow its importation into the United States--and Virginia Woolf was moved to decry James Joyce's "cloacal obsession." None of these adjectives, however, do the slightest justice to the novel. To this day it remains the modernist masterpiece, in which the author takes both Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. It is funny, sorrowful, and even (in a close-focus sort of way) suspenseful. And despite the exegetical industry that has sprung up in the last 75 years, Ulysses is also a compulsively readable book. Even the verbal vaudeville of the final chapters can be navigated with relative ease, as long as you're willing to be buffeted, tickled, challenged, and (occasionally) vexed by Joyce's sheer command of the English language.

Con Retrato del artista adolescente, una novela con retazos autobiográficos, James Joyce presenta, de una manera penetrante y divertida, el paso por la crisis de la adolescencia. La obra se puede leer como un Bildungsroman (o novela de la juventud), centrada en la eclosión del artista. En este caso, la tradición católica y la agitación nacionalista surgen en el primer plano de una lucha que, más allá de los convencionalismos, quiere encontrar una forma de expresión que acompañe el protagonista hasta el umbral de la edad adulta.
