Dubliners: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
14.99 €
James Joyce is a classic of Anglo-Irish literature, who had a tremendous influence on the prose of the XX century. In the history of world literature, he entered as the author of the novel “Ulysses”, recognized as the pinnacle of modernism and marked the beginning of literature “stream of consciousness”.
Dubliners began as a series of short stories for Irish Manor magazine, and the first of them were published under the pseudonym Stephen Daedalus. In the future, this name will be worn by the hero of the novels “Ulysses” and “Portrait of an artist in his youth”, the alter ego of the writer in the space of his works. Dubliners is Joyce’s first mature creation, reflecting his impressionist style of writing, and the first realistic work of Irish literature of the XX century, marking a new stage in the development of English-language novelistics, comparable to the significance of Chekhov’s prose for Russian literature.
The novel “Portrait of an Artist in Youth” is largely autobiographical, and with unusual, sometimes painful sharpness and brightness paints the inner world of a young man, a lonely poet and philosopher.
The novel “Hero Stephen” Joyce did not finish, transferring some parts to “Portrait of an Artist in his youth”, and destroying some. The story was published posthumously in 1944 and for all its incompleteness is an independent milestone in the work of the writer, important for understanding his creative search.
Of great interest to admirers of the writer, who want to touch the origins of his work, is the collection of “Epiphany” – sketches and sketches, which were later developed in Joyce’s later prose.
The texts are published in the translation of Sergey Horuzhy with detailed comments.
