Stephen Dedalus grows up. From his struggles with his classmates as a schoolboy to the sexual and Christian awakenings he experiences as a young adult, Stephen's life is shaped by the state of Ireland around him. Ultimately, he must decide if the life of beauty he desires can even be found in Ireland at all. This renowned coming-of-age story by Irish author James Joyce was originally published in serial form in the London-based literary magazine The Egoist from 1914-1915 and in novel form in 1916 in the United States. This is an unabridged version.Like much of James Joyce's work, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a fictional re-creation of…
the Irish writer's own life and early environment. The experiences of the novel's young hero, Stephen Dedalus, unfold in astonishingly vivid scenes that seem freshly recalled from life and provide a powerful portrait of the coming of age of a young man of unusual intelligence, sensitivity, and character. The interest of the novel is deepened by Joyce's telling portrayals of an Irish upbringing and schooling, the Catholic Church and its priesthood, Parnell and Irish politics, encounters with the conflicting roles of art and morality (problems that would follow Joyce throughout his life), sexual experimentation and its aftermath, and the decision to leave Ireland. Rich in details that offer vital insights into Joyce's art, this masterpiece of semiautobiographical fiction remains essential reading in any program of study in modern literature.By James Joyce. 1991

for James Joyce to find a publisher for this vivid, uncompromising, and altogether brilliant portrait of Dublin at the turn of the twentieth century. Now regarded as one of the finest story collections in the English language, it contains such masterpieces as “Araby,” “Grace,” and “The Dead,” and serves as a valuable and accessible introduction to the themes that define Joyce’s later work, including the monumental Ulysses. Elegantly interweaving a moral history of Ireland with profiles of brave, flawed, and utterly realistic individuals—many of them clearly drawn from the author’s own life—experiencing moments of profound insight, Dubliners is an essential work of art. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.By James Joyce. 2002

emotional and intellectual development. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Seamus Deane. The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to fully come into themselves. James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing. He only returned to Ireland briefly from the continent but Dublin was at heart of his greatest works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. He lived in poverty until the last ten years of his life and was plagued by near blindness and the grief of his daughter's mental illness. If you enjoyed A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, you might like Joyce's Dubliners, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'There is nothing more vivid or beautiful in all Joyce's writing. It has the searing clarity of truth . . . but is rich with myth and symbol'Sunday Times 'James Joyce was and remains almost unique among novelists in that he published nothing but masterpieces'The Times Literary SupplementBy James Joyce. 2011

the end of 1907, they remained unpublished until 1914 — victims of Edwardian squeamishness. Their vivid, tightly focused observations of the life of Dublin's poorer classes, their unconventional themes, coarse language, and mention of actual people and places made publishers of the day reluctant to undertake sponsorship.Today, however, the stories are admired for their intense and masterly dissection of "dear dirty Dublin," and for the economy and grace with which Joyce invested this youthful fiction. From "The Sisters," the first story, illuminating a young boy's initial encounter with death, through the final piece, "The Dead," considered a masterpiece of the form, these tales represent, as Joyce himself explained, a chapter in the moral history of Ireland that would give the Irish "one good look at themselves." But in the end the stories are not just about the Irish; they represent moments of revelation common to all people.Now readers can enjoy all 15 stories in this inexpensive collection, which also functions as an excellent, accessible introduction to the work of one of the 20th century's most influential writers.

Una de las cumbres de la literatura moderna en una cuidada edición de bolsillo. Irreverente, cómica, erudita, monumental, Ulises es…
una de las novelas cumbre de la literatura moderna. Su trama sigue las andanzas por Dublín de Stephen Dedalus y Leopold y Molly Bloom a lo largo de un día, el 16 de junio de 1904. Pero tras los detalles cotidianos se oculta un trasfondo mitológico que remite a toda la experiencia humana y enriquece la lectura con infinitos significados. Escrito en una brillante variedad de estilos, el libro ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios, ensayos y controversias, una tradición crítica que la presente edición recoge en su estupenda introducción y en su minucioso aparato de notas. Sobre la obra y el autor:«Ulises no es fácil, pero cada una de sus páginas es maravillosa y compensa el esfuerzo.»Joyce Carol Oates «Ulises, por supuesto, es una obra de arte sublime.»Vladimir Nabokov «Ulises contiene lo que aún está por descubrir de la mente del hombre; es un análisis de la conciencia humana como nunca se había hecho.»Ford Maddox Ford «Joyce continúa despertando pasiones porque su obra -y, en particular, Ulises- es un campo minado donde encontramos nuevas riquezas, nuevos explosivos, cada vez que volvemos.»Edna O'Brien «[Ulises es] el libro con el que todos estamos en deuda y del que ninguno de nosotros puede escapar.»T. S. Eliot «Para mí, Joyce es el realista por excelencia porque trataba de transmitir la sensación de la experiencia. Y esta le parecía tan ideosincrásica que tuvo que inventar un nuevo lenguaje para hacerlo.»Zadie Smith «Joyce hizo que todo fuese posible; abrió todas las puertas y ventanas.»Anne Enright
