James Joyce

Finnegans Wake av James Joyce (1882-1941) är ett centralt verk i den litterära modernismen. Samtidigt är det så mångtydigt eller omöjligt att tyda, att läsarens främsta reaktion blir förvirring och rådlöshet. Men oavsett om läsaren förstår helheten eller inte -- och det gör läsaren inte -- finns här ett outtömligt flöde av ordlekar och språkliga nykonstruktioner som är underhållande, humoristiska, vackra och bisarrt fascinerande. Läsaren kommer på sig själv med att bli poetiskt hänförd -- och inte sällan med att skratta högt.Finnegans Wake är naturligtvis omöjlig att översätta eller tolka på svenska. Och just därför, i god joycesk anda, bör något liknande göras. Bertil Falk kallar detta ett "motsvariggörande" av verket. Men kan Finnegans Wake ens motsvariggöras? Vi famlar i blindo som med allt annat som rör James Joyces extrem-modernistiska verk. Och trots allt kan vi läsa Bertil Falks motsvariggörande för dess egna språkekvilibristiska skull. Finnegans likvaka är dessutom för svenska läsare en utmärkt introduktion till James Joyces märkliga storverk.Bertil Falk (född 1933) började motsvariggöra Finnegans Wake under jullovet 1954-1955 och har nu rott livsprojektet i land, 66 år senare. Ett annat av hans livsverk publicerades av Aleph Bokförlag i tre band 2020, Faktasin: Den svenskspråkiga science fiction-litteraturens historia. Bertil Falk har haft en lång och omväxlande karriär som journalist vid Kvällsposten och på TV3:s nyhetsredaktion i London, som tidskriftsutgivare, deckarförfattare, litteraturvetare och översättare. 2016 väckte han stor uppmärksamhet i Indien med Feroze: The Forgotten Gandhi utgiven av Roli Books, en bok som tog honom 40 år att efterforska och skriva.

“With just one collection of stories, Joyce left his mark on almost every short-story writer who followed him” -The Guardian In this collection of revelatory stories of Dublin in the late 19th century, James Joyce presented the everyday depiction of ordinary characters in moments of an epiphany. The fifteen stories begin with characters in childhood, and progress into adolescence, and finally into maturity. The final story, “The Dead” is considered one of the most extraordinary stories ever written in the English language. Many of the characters within this collection reappear in Joyce’s later work. Dubliners is a remarkably modern work, yet the most accessible of all of Joyce’s writing. Authored in his early twenties, the short stories were completed in 1907, but were not published until 1914 due to many passages in the narratives that were considered too provocative to print. The stories in Dubliners were initially commissioned by an Irish farming magazine to depict quaint and brief tales of Irish life. Three stories were published before the magazine editor deemed the material unsuitable for the readership. Those appear among this extraordinary collection of 15 stories, which include: The Sisters, An Encounter, Araby, Eveline, After the Race, Two Gallants, The Boarding House, A Little Cloud, Counterparts, Clay, A Painful Case, Ivy Day in the Committee Room, A Mother, Grace, The Dead. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Dubliners is both modern and readable.

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 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 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, and the idea of paralysis where Joyce felt Irish nationalism stagnated cultural progression, placing Dublin at the heart of this regressive movement.This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

'That is my fear. That I stand between her and any moments of life that should be hers...' Set against the backdrop of the Home Rule Crisis of 1912, Exiles is James Joyce's only surviving play. It tells the story of writer Richard Rowan and his common-law wife Bertha, characters drawn from Joyce's own life with Nora Barnacle. After a decade of absence from Dublin, Richard and Bertha have returned home from Rome, still unmarried, with their young son Archie. Richard hopes that he will be greeted as a returning genius and rewarded with a comfortable university position. But this aspiration ends up taking a back seat to the erotic crisis that is unleashed by the couple's return to the place where they first met, and their encounters with two old flames and friends. In this play, Joyce revisits his own agonizing feelings of jealousy that were precipitated by similar trips home to Dublin. In the introduction and notes, Keri Walsh provides a comprehensive look issues of gender, sexuality, and performance as well as considering the nationalist and sectarian contexts of Dublin in 1912, the year of the play's setting.

Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early twentieth century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel imitates registers of centuries of English literature and is highly allusive.Since publication, Ulysses has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from early obscenity trials to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose - full of puns, parodies, and allusions - as well as its rich characterisation and broad humour, made the book a highly regarded novel in the modernist pantheon. Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday. In 1998, the American publishing firm Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
