James Joyce

Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialised in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach in February 1922, in Paris. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement".According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking." However, even proponents of Ulysses such as Anthony Burgess have described the book as "inimitable, and also possibly mad". 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 its characters and events and those of the poem (e.g., the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Ulysses is approximately 265,000 words in length, uses a lexicon of 30,030 words (including proper names, plurals and various verb tenses), and is divided into eighteen episodes. Since publication, the book 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 characterisations and broad humour, made the book a highly regarded novel in the Modernist pantheon. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday.

Ulysses er et af de helt centrale og nyskabende værker i 1900-tallets litteratur og et højdepunkt i den litterære modernisme - provokerende, morsom, rørende og ind i mellem ganske utilgængelig. Romanen skildrer Dublins brogede liv i løbet af én enkelt dag, nærmere bestemt d. 16. juni 1904. Vi følger to hovedpersoner - den unge skolelærer Stephen Dedalus og den midaldrende, jødiske annoncesælger Leopold Bloom - på deres færd gennem byen og får et højst intimt indblik i deres adfærd og tankeliv. Ulysses er en universel historie om kærlighed, svigt og magt - en bog, der er svaret på alt! Nu udkommer dette storværk i en ny og spændstig dansk oversættelse af Karsten Sand Iversen. Pressen skriver: »Der er liv og poesi i Karsten Sand Iversens flotte og dristige nye oversættelse af et af verdenslitteraturens mesterværker.« ****** – Lars Ole Sauerberg, Jyllands-Posten »Skøn og sjofel, sofistikeret og saftig, vild og vanvittig, krævende og kulret kommer Joyces ’Ulysses’ os i møde i Karsten Sand Iversens fuldt ud prægtige gendigtning. Det er nu, ’Ulysses’ skal læses eller genlæses.« ****** – Mikkel Bruun Zangenberg, Politiken »Karsten Sand Iversens fænomenale nyoversættelse slår Mogens Boisens gamle oversættelse af marken […] Med Joyces skandaløse, skabrøse værk blev fortællekunsten absolut moderne« – Erik Skyum-Nielsen, Information »Årets vigtigste klassikeroversættelse udkommer i dag. James Joyces skelsættende Ulysses er i den nye udgave både præcis og musikalsk« – Michael Bach Henriksen, Kristeligt Dagblad »Ulysses er meget morsommere og langt mere spændende end sit rygte. Den kan sagtens læses af almindelige dødelige. Og i den nye oversættelse får vi endda en mere personlig version, der har karakter ligesom originalen.« – Kristian Ditlev Jensen, Weekendavisen

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A narrative about an artist's growth to maturity, in a modernist style, it traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical 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, and culminates with his self-exile from Ireland in Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. . A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man 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 allowed the reader to peer into Stephen's developing consciousness. The publication of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and the short story collection Dubliners earned Joyce a place at the forefront of literary modernism. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man won Joyce a reputation for his literary skills, and a patron in business manager at The Egoist Harriet Shaw Weaver. In 1917 H. G. Wells wrote that "one believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in fiction".

James Joyce is most celebrated for his remarkable novel Ulysses, and yet he was also an accomplished poet. Chamber Music, his debut collection, fused the styles of the Celtic Revival with his own brand of ironic exuberance. Pomes Penyeach, a collection written when Joyce had published Dubliners and was completing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, explores intimate themes of adultery, jealousy, and betrayal that would reappear transformed in the later Ulysses. Joyce's occasional verse includes the well-known "Ecce Puer," written for his newborn grandson, and his satirical poems "The Holy Office" and "Gas from a Burner." These poems are brought together here with Joyce's play, Exiles--about an unconventional couple involved in a love triangle--in a beautiful, accessible hardcover edition for the general reader.
