Jamais peut-être l'atmosphère d'une ville n'a été mieux rendue, et dans chacune de ces nouvelles, les personnes qui connaissent Dublin retrouveront une quantité d'impressions qu'elles croyaient avoir oubliées. Mais ce n'est pas la ville qui est le personnage principal : chaque nouvelle est isolée ; c'est un portrait, ou un groupe, ce sont des individualités bien marquées que Joyce se plaît à faire vivre. Nous en retrouverons du reste quelques-unes, que nous reconnaîtrons, autant à leurs paroles et à leurs traits de caractère qu'à leurs noms, dans ses livres suivants. Gens de Dublin, qui constitue une excellente introduction à l'œuvre de James Joyce, est, par lui-même, un des livres les plus importants de la littérature d'imagination en langue anglaise publiés depuis 1900.

Après la publication en 1907 de poésies de jeunesse, James Joyce publie en 1914 un recueil de nouvelles commencé dès 1902. Il s'agit de Dublinois. Quelle surprise pour les lecteurs de découvrir ces quinze nouvelles, si sages, si classiques, si claires. Dans ce livre, Joyce décrit, avec un sens profond de l'observation, les mœurs de la bourgeoisie irlandaise, l'atmosphère trouble et le destin tragique de la société de l'époque. Les thèmes favoris de Joyce, l'enfance, l'adolescence, la maturité, la vie publique sont ici incarnés par divers types d'habitants de Dublin, «ce cher et malpropre Dublin» que Joyce aimait tant. --back cover

L'action d'Ulysse se passe en un jour, a Dublin, en 1904. Le personnage d'Ulysse est un petit employé juif, Leopold Bloom ; Stephen Dedalus, jeune Irlandais poete, est Télémaque ; Marion, femme de Bloom et qui le trompe, est Pénélope. Rien n'arrive d'extraordinaire au cours de cette journée. Bloom et Dedalus errent dans la ville, vaquant a leurs affaires, et se retrouvent le soir dans un bordel. Chaque épisode correspond a un épisode de L'Odyssée. Mais la parodie débouche sur une mise en cause du monde moderne a une époque de muflisme. Joyce exprime l'universel par le particulier. Bloom, Dedalus, Marion sont des archétypes. Toute la vie, la naissance et la mort, la recherche du pere (Dedalus est aussi Hamlet), celle du fils (Bloom a perdu un fils jeune), toute l'histoire sont contenues en un seul jour. C'est a Rabelais, a Swift que l'on peut comparer l'art de Joyce qui a écrit, dans Ulysse, la grande ouvre épique et satirique de notre temps.

This correspondence provides a balance between the letters of Joyce as a man, and as a writer.

A selection of extracts from the work of James Joyce, accompanied by photographs of Ireland.

The remarkable collection of stories that make up Dubliners was described by Joyce himself as a series of chapters in the moral history of his community; and the arrangement of the tales reveals "a progression from childhood to maturity, broadening from private to public scope," as Harry Levin noted in his introduction to The Portable James Joyce. In fact, it is the scope of life that Joyce has limned in these stories--ranging from the opening tale, "The Sisters," in which the boy is confronted with death as he overhears the conversation of his elders, through the memorable "Ivy Day in the Committee Room" with its depiction of small-time politicians recalling their great lost leader, Parnell, to the exquisitely poignant "The Dead," wherein through the chance singing of a song a husband learns of a long-ago romance in his wife's life. While the geographic boundary of these fifteen stories may be middle-class, Catholic Dublin, the artistic boundary is set only by Joyce's far-reaching genius. --back cover

A beautiful and accessible introduction to the writings of James Joyce. Short, entertaining quotes from his major works: Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, with more from his poetry & letters, and some family anecdotes handed down to grand-nephew Bob Joyce.

Written over a seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, this book has survived bowdlerization, legal action and controversy. The novel deals with the events of one day in Dublin, 16th June 1904, now known as "Bloomsday". The principal characters are Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly. Ulysses has been labelled dirty, blasphemous and unreadable. In a famous 1933 court decision, Judge John M. Woolsey declared it an emetic book--although he found it not quite obscene enough to disallow its importation into the United States--and Virginia Woolf was moved to decry James Joyce's "cloacal obsession". None of these descriptions, however, do the slightest justice to the novel. To this day it remains the modernist masterpiece, in which the author takes both Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. It is funny, sorrowful, and even (in its own way) suspenseful. And despite the exegetical industry that has sprung up in the last 75 years, Ulysses is also a compulsively readable book.

"The Dead" is the final and longest story in the "Dubliners", a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce. First published in 1904, the stories aim to capture Irish middle class life as it really was around Dublin at the turn-of-the-century. Like many of Joyce's tales in the collection, "The Dead" features a transformative epiphany, where a character experiences a sudden insight into their life that changes the way they see everything. In what many consider one of Joyce's most nuanced and well-written works, the story centers around Gabriel Conroy, his evening attending a Christmas dinner party hosted by his elderly aunts, and the experiences of his wife and various friends. In his signature style, Joyce delves deeply into the inner lives of his characters and the subtle details of their evening together in order to transform a seemingly mundane dinner party into a profound examination of the fleeting nature of life, love, happiness, and regret. At the end of the evening, Gabriel is surprised to learn that even the people he believed he knew well are capable of unseen depths of emotion and hidden experiences. "The Dead" withstands the test of time as one of Joyce's most thought-provoking and emotionally powerful works. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is one of the twentieth century s great coming-of-age novels. "

The book features three significant poems by James Joyce: "Chamber Music," "Pomes Penyeach," and "Ecce Puer." Joyce, a pivotal figure in modernist literature, is renowned for his innovative narrative techniques, particularly in "Ulysses." "Chamber Music," his first poetry collection, consists of 36 lyrical pieces exploring themes of love and life. "Ecce Puer," written to commemorate personal milestones, showcases Joyce's emotional depth. This reprint preserves the original 1957 edition, highlighting Joyce's contributions to both poetry and modern literature.

In "Dubliners", completed when Joyce was only 25, the author produced a definitive group portrait. The book is rooted in an accurate apprehension of the detail of Dublin life. The author also wrote "Ulysses" and "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man".

The Wordsworth Poetry Library comprises the works of the greatest English-speaking poets, as well as many lesser-known poets. Each collection has a specially commissioned introduction.

Finnegans Wakeis Joyce's last great work, and is formulated as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape. It also remains the mosthilarious, 'obscene', book of innuendos ever to be imagined.

The collection features thirty-six love poems that explore themes of intimacy and longing, crafted with Joyce's signature lyrical style. Initially titled by his brother, Joyce later expressed dissatisfaction with "Chamber Music," seeking a title that would better reflect the work's depth. Despite its earthy connotations, the poetry is not crude but rather celebrated for its emotional resonance. Though it faced slow sales, critical reception was positive, highlighting Joyce's emerging voice in early 20th-century literature.

It is only James Joyce's towering genius as a novelist that has led to the comparative neglect of his poetry and sole surviving play. And yet, argues Mays in his stimulating and informative introduction, several of these works not only occupy a pivotal position in Joyce's career; they are also magnificently assured achievements in their own right. Chamber Music is 'an extraordinary debut', fusing the styles of the nineties and the Irish Revival with irony and characteristic verbal exuberance. Pomes Penyeach and Exiles (highly acclaimed in Harold Pinter's 1970 staging) were written when Joyce had published Dubliners and was completing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Both confront painfully personal issues of adultery, jealousy and betrayal and so pave the way for the more detached and fully realized treatment in Ulysses. Joyce's occasional verse includes 'Ecce Puer' for his new-born grandson, juvenilia, satires, translations, limericks and a parody of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. All are brought together in this scholarly, fully annotated yet accessible new edition.

The only extant play by the great Irish novelist, this work is notable for its autobiographical elements and formal qualities. The main character, Richard Rowan, a tormented writer at odds with his wife and Irish society, serves as a reflection of Joyce himself. Rowan's wife, Bertha, draws influence from Joyce's lover and later wife, Nora Barnacle, with whom he lived a nomadic life across Europe. The play mirrors Joyce's own experiences, including his return to Ireland due to his mother's illness and death. Rowan's flawed pursuit of individual freedom, despite the constraints of Irish morals, hints at Joyce's interest in Nietzsche. Wrestling with guilt over infidelities, Rowan advocates for personal liberty for himself and his wife, who faces temptation from his cousin. Joyce's choice to write a play reflects his admiration for Henrik Ibsen, evident in the tense dialogue and the focus on character relationships, guilt, and the longing for freedom. The understated writing style contrasts with Joyce's exuberant language in his novels, showcasing Ibsen's influence. Ultimately, the play explores the conflict between individual freedom and societal judgment, as the protagonists grapple with the choice of defying rigid conventions or seeking exile. Though lesser-known, this work, written between two of Joyce's major novels, offers valuable insights into the evolution of a literary genius.

This 3-act play was first published in 1918; and like much of Joyce's other works, it is an imaginative reconstruction of his own life. In it, Richard Rowan, an Irish writer who has spent much time abroad, feels estranged from Irish society when he returns to Dublin.

The Gabler edition of Ulysses, the greatest 20th-century novel written in English, contains corrections to more than 5,000 errors in earlier editions. Almost as soon as Ulysses first appeared, in Paris in 1922, James Joyce began to compile a list of errata, and publishers have continued the process ever since, often inadvertently adding to the list. In 1974, an international team of scholars headed by Professor Hans Walter Gabler began to study manuscript evidence, typescripts, and proofs in order to produce as accurate and complete a new edition as possible. First published in 1984, the Gabler edition was hailed as a monumental achievement, one that makes this great and complex novel more accessible and enjoyable than ever before. Also included is a preface by the distinguished Joyce scholar Richard Ellmann, a foreword and note on the text by Gabler, and an afterword by Michael Groden. Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin.

Ulysses is a novel by the Irish author James Joyce. Ulysses chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day, 16 June 1904 (the day of Joyce's first date with his future wife, Nora Barnacle). The title alludes to Odysseus (Latinised into Ulysses), the hero of Homer's Odyssey, and establishes a series of parallels between characters and events in Homer's poem and Joyce's novel (e.g., the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday. 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.

La verde e tormentata terra d’Irlanda è patria di alcuni dei più importanti scrittori della letteratura. Jonathan Swift, con la sua ironia sferzante, descrive nei Viaggi di Gulliver le assurdità dell’Europa settecentesca attraverso le immaginarie popolazioni di Lilliput e Brobdingnag. Sterne, con il suo Viaggio sentimentale, rompe le regole della narrativa tradizionale, concentrandosi sulle sensazioni interiori piuttosto che su paesaggi e personaggi. Con Le Fanu, entriamo nel filone ottocentesco che esplora gli aspetti più oscuri dell’esperienza umana, dando vita a capolavori del terrore come Carmilla e Dracula. Oscar Wilde, poeta geniale e sfortunato, narra la storia di Dorian Gray, un mostro dalla giovinezza sospetta. Al contrario, Yeats ci offre un mondo incantato, popolato da elfi e fantasmi, presentando una panoramica del folclore irlandese. Infine, James Joyce, con il suo capolavoro Ulisse, ha avuto un ruolo cruciale nella nascita della letteratura moderna. Attraverso il realismo minuzioso delle quindici storie di Gente di Dublino, Joyce ha elevato il racconto breve a un nuovo livello artistico, rendendolo il genere letterario più moderno.

Zur Zeit von James Joyce waren mit Süßigkeiten gefüllte Katzen in Irland ein beliebtes Geschenk. Als er das aus Kopenhagen nicht mitbringen konnte, schrieb er einen fantasiesprühenden Brief an seinen vierjährigen Enkel. Darin behauptete er, in Dänemark gebe es keine einzige Katze, dafür aber Fische, Fahrräder und freundliche Polizisten. Die lägen den ganzen Tag im Bett, rauchten Zigarren und tränken Buttermilch. Die Welturausgabe von “The Cats of Copenhagen“ erschien 2012. Harry Rowohlt hat aus dem Fund einen fabelhaften deutschen Text gemacht. Wolf Erlbruchs hinreißende Illustrationen verwandeln ihn in ein Glanzstück.
