James Joyce

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'.

*1:a på Modern Librarys lista över 1900-talets 100 viktigaste engelskspråkiga romaner*»Det är boken vi alla står i tacksamhetsskuld till och som ingen av oss kan undkomma.« | T. S. EliotHur kan en roman från 1922 fortfarande kännas modernare än nästan allt som trycks i dag?Handlingen i James Joyces Odysseus utspelar sig under ett och samma dygn, 16 juni 1904. Dublins alla hem, gator, offentliga platser; stadens minnen, känslor, begär - allt ville författaren fånga. Varje episod, och dess centrala karaktärer, korresponderar också med motsvarande i det mest kända litterära verket från vår civilisations gryning, Homeros Odysséen. Språkets roller i verkligheten är fler än den direkt kommunikativa, menade Joyce. Vi har kontroll över språket och samtidigt ingen som helst kontroll över dess havsliknande flöde genom oss. Romanens alla röst- och stilskiften - festglädje, högtidlighet, andlighet, kåthet, hunger, oro, extatisk uppsluppenhet - rymmer män och kvinnor, unga och gamla. Inre monolog blir spirituell dialog och klipp- och klistra med litteraturhistorien och vardagsspråken. Genom hälsningen till Homeros kopplas allt till ett mytiskt kretslopp.James Joyces Odysseus [Ulysses, 1922] - en av världslitteraturens absolut största klassiker, utges här i Thomas Warburtons svenska översättning.JAMES JOYCE [1882-1941], irländsk författare, är en av den modernistiska litteraturens portalfigurer. Romanen Odysseus [Ulysses, 1922] brukar betraktas som den modernistiska erans mest inflytelserika verk.

Oivalluksia on valikoima James Joycen aiemmin suomentamatonta proosaa ja runoja. Kirjan nimikkoteksti on lyhyiden proosafragmenttien kokoelma, johon Joyce tallensi arkea ja elämää lapsuutensa ja nuoruutensa Dublinissa. Teos sisältää lisäksi kaksi pitkää pilkkarunoa. Pyhä istuin -runossa Joyce irvii säälimättömästi kanssakirjailijoitaan. Kaasua polttimesta -runossa pistävän ivan kohteena on kustantaja, joka ei sopimuksesta huolimatta suostunut julkaisemaan Joycen teosta.

Perhaps Joyce's most personal work, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man depicts the intellectual awakening of one of literature's most memorable young heroes, Stephen Dedalus. Through a series of brilliant epiphanies that parallel the development of his own aesthetic consciousness, Joyce evokes Stephen's youth, from his impressionable years as the youngest student at the Clongowed Wood school to the deep religious conflict he experiences at a day school in Dublin, and finally to his college studies where he challenges the conventions of his upbringing and his understanding of faith and intellectual freedom. James Joyce's highly autobiographical novel was first published in the United States to immediate acclaim. Ezra Pound accurately predicted that Joyce's book would "remain a permanent part of English literature," while H.G. Wells dubbed it "by far the most important living and convincing picture that exists of an Irish Catholic upbringing." A remarkably rich study of a developing young mind, this work made an indelible mark on literature and confirmed Joyce's reputation as one of the world's greatest and lasting writers.

Publicado en 1914, Dublineses es uno de los libros de relatos m s unitarios y perfectos alumbrados por un autor. Pese a gravitar en su totalidad en torno a Dubl n y sus personajes enmarcados en un periodo hist rico muy concreto (el que habr a de anteceder en breve a la independencia de la cat lica 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 penetraci n dif cilmente igualables a la hora de captar la naturaleza humana en sus distintas edades y condiciones, as 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 g nero.

Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe.Stephen Hero is written from the point of view of an omniscient third-person narrator, but in Portrait Joyce adopts the free indirect style, a change that reflects the moving of the narrative centre of consciousness firmly and uniquely onto Stephen. Persons and events take their significance from Stephen, and are perceived from his point of view. Characters and places are no longer mentioned simply because the young Joyce had known them. Salient details are carefully chosen and fitted into the aesthetic pattern of the novel.

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.
