These vivid, tightly focused observations about the life of Dublin's poorer classes originally made publishers uneasy: the stories contain unconventional themes and coarse language, and they mention actual people and places. Today, however, the stories are admired. They are considered to be masterful representations of Dublin done with economy and grace-representations, as Joyce himself once explained, of a chapter in the moral history of Ireland that give the Irish a good look at...

Ein Meisterwerk der literarischen Moderne über 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 äußere Handlungen fokussiert, geht es oft um das Verhaften in erstarrten Abläufen, die Veränderungen praktisch nicht zulassen.-

Joyce is about as challenging as they come in the literary world. However, since it seemed like Ulysses or Finnegans Wake would be a bit much to start with, you will find yourself reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man as an introduction to his work. <p> And although you will find this book about as easy to get into as Princeton, it was about as rewarding as well. Portrait is certainly anything but a light read. Joyces meandering narrative and serpentine prose can be confusing...

The novel was originally planned as a 63-chapter autobiographical novel in a realistic style entitled “Stephen Hero” however Joyce reworked the novel into five condensed chapters, dispensing with the strict realism which he originally...

"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. An artist&apos;s novel 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...

Like much of James Joyce&apos;s work, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a fictional re-creation of the Irish writer&apos;s own life and early environment. The experiences of the novel&apos;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&apos;s telling portrayals of...
