  • - An Illustrated Edition
    av James Joyce
    844,-

    This strikingly illustrated edition presents Joyce’s epic novel in a new, more accessible light, while showcasing the incredible talent of a leading Spanish artist.   The neo-figurative artist Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018), regarded today as one of the greatest Spanish painters of his generation, dreamed of illustrating James Joyce’s Ulysses. Although he began work on the project in 1989, it was never published during his lifetime: Stephen James Joyce, Joyce’s grandson and the infamously protective executor of his estate, refused to allow it, arguing that his grandfather would never have wanted the novel illustrated. In fact, a limited run appeared in 1935 with lithographs by Henri Matisse, which reportedly infuriated Joyce when he realized that Matisse, not having actually read the book, had merely depicted scenes from Homer’s Odyssey. Now available for the first time in English, this unique edition of the classic novel features three hundred images created by Arroyo—vibrant, eclectic drawings, paintings, and collages that reflect and amplify the energy of Joyce’s writing.

B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience.

    'Everybody knows now that Ulysses is the greatest novel of the century' Anthony Burgess, ObserverFollowing the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.'The most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape' T. S. Eliot'Intoxicating ... a towering work, in its word play surpassing even Shakespeare' Guardian

    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'.

    Introduction and Notes by Laurence Davies, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire.Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city, Joyce made Dublin unforgettable. The stories in Dubliners show us truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical, and people striving to get by.In every sense an international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by seeing it unflinchingly and challenging every precedent and piety in Irish literature.

Stronly autobiographical, the novel is one of the founding texts of Modernism and the precursor of Ulysses.

    With an essay by J. I. M. Stewart.'Every night as I gazed up at the window I said softly to myself the word paralysis. It had always sounded strangely in my ears ... But now it sounded to me like the name of some maleficent and sinful being. It filled me with fear, and yet I longed to be nearer to it and to look upon its deadly work'From a child grappling with the death of a fallen priest, to a young woman's dilemma over whether to elope to Argentina with her lover, to the dance party at which a man discovers just how little he really knows about his wife, these fifteen stories bring the gritty realism of existence in Joyce's native Dublin to life. With Dubliners, James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

    Irish writer James Joyce's first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, was published in 1916. It is a Künstlerroman written in a modernist style that follows the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, Joyce's fictional alter ego whose surname alludes to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman in Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions that shaped his upbringing, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work employs techniques that Joyce expanded on in Ulysses (1922) and Finnegan's Wake (1939).Joyce began A Portrait in 1904 as Stephen Hero, a 63-chapter autobiographical novel written in a realistic style. In 1907, Joyce abandoned Stephen Hero after 25 chapters and began reworking its themes and protagonist into a condensed five-chapter novel, eschewing strict realism and making extensive use of free indirect speech that allows the reader to peer into Stephen's evolving consciousness. Ezra Pound, an American modernist poet, serialized the novel in the English literary magazine The Egoist in 1914 and 1915, and B. W. Huebsch of New York published it as a book in 1916. The publication of A Portrait and the short story collection Dubliners (1914) propelled Joyce to the forefront of literary modernism.

    "Exiles," written by James Joyce, is a play that unfolds in 3 acts, showcasing Joyce's exceptional literary fashion and exploration of complex human relationships. Set against the backdrop of Dublin, a metropolis with profound significance in Joyce's works, the play delves into the intricacies of affection, preference, and the results of private choices. The narrative revolves around Richard Rowan, a writer, and his wife Bertha, who stay in self-imposed exile in Italy. The title "Exiles" indicates a subject matter of displacement, both physical and emotional, as the characters grapple with the effects in their choices. Richard's go back to Dublin prompts a reunion along with his friends, developing a disturbing atmosphere as past relationships and buried feelings resurface. Joyce's exploration of psychological depth and elaborate dialogue is in all likelihood to signify "Exiles." The play may additionally delve into the complexities of affection and constancy, challenging societal norms and moral expectancies. The characters might also confront the results in their choices and grapple with the complexities of human connection. As with plenty of Joyce's paintings, "Exiles" is anticipated to be rich in symbolism and layered meanings, inviting readers to resolve the intricacies of the characters' motivations and the broader remark on human nature.

    Neste conto aqui traduzido, 'Os Mortos', James Joyce relata-nos os acontecimentos que decorrem num evento social anual organizado pelas tias de Gabriel Conroy na época de Natal. No evento figuram os mais diversos convidados, amigos e familiares, numa caracterização da sociedade irlandesa do princípio do século XX.No decorrer cronológico de uma só noite, em ambiente de festa com danças e música e uma mesa de jantar farta, a história desenrola-se por uma via nostálgica, tratando a morte de forma literal e metafórica, e colocando as personagens no limbo das suas memórias de um passado glorioso e de um presente em declínio que atinge a consciência das personagens por via do simbolismo.Tendo o inverno de Dublin como pano de fundo, Joyce guia-nos gradualmente até à epifania noturna de Gabriel sobre a sua vida e casamento com Gretta que, provocada pelo ouvir de uma velha canção, cai à recordação de um antigo amor trágico, o que leva Gabriel a uma reflexão sobre os mortos que fazem sombra dos vivos.

    Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The fifteen stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written at the time 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 center on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character has a special moment of self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by children as 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.

    'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man begins with one of the most arresting opening sentences in literature' Patrick McGuinness, from his Preface. A Portrait first appeared in instalments in the modernist magazine The Egoist in 1914, before it came out as a book in 1916, the year of the Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland. An autobiographical 'coming of age' story, A Portrait is Joyce's first novel. Many elements of Joyce's own life - his Catholic schooling, his family circumstances and his father's financial difficulties, as well as his sexual, political and artistic awakenings - are fictionalized and in it he skilfully extend the English language, as it opens with a child's voice rendered by a third-person narrator, and closes with the mature Stephen's first-person reflections.

    James Joyce's semi-autobiographical first novel explores the author's own love-hate relationship with Ireland through Stephen Dedalus, Joyce's literary alter ego. Dedalus yearns to be an artist, but must first overcome the aspects of Irish society, like school and the church, that he feels restrains his creativity and stifles his soul. Joyce's use of experimental literary techniques, including stream of consciousness, is on full display in his first novel, which he further develops in his later works, Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake.
