Bøker av James Joyce

Dubliners is a collection of short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. It's a snapshot of Dublin society in the early 20th century, capturing the lives of ordinary people in various stages of their existence. The stories are interconnected thematically, offering a vivid portrayal of the city and its inhabitants. The collection consists of 15 stories, each exploring different facets of human experience, often with a focus on the mundane and the routine. Joyce delves into the lives of characters from different social classes, shedding light on the struggles, frustrations, and aspirations of the people of Dublin. One of the notable aspects of Dubliners is Joyce's keen observation and attention to detail. He paints a rich and realistic picture of the city, providing readers with a sense of its streets, neighbourhoods, and the day-to-day activities of its residents. The prose is straightforward yet nuanced, allowing the reader to immerse themselves in the lives of the characters. Themes of paralysis, epiphany, and the impact of societal and familial expectations run throughout the stories. The characters often grapple with a sense of entrapment, both in their personal lives and within the confines of a changing Dublin. Each story serves as a microcosm, offering a glimpse into the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of navigating a society in transition. Dubliners is a masterful exploration of the human condition, showcasing Joyce's early literary talent and laying the groundwork for the experimental narrative techniques he would later employ in works like A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses.

James Joyce's first major work, Dubliners provides a fascinating snapshot of early 20th century life in Ireland, bringing his city to the world for the first time.

Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. It presents a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century

After a scandal breaks out involving a famous Irish Nationalist politician, Stephen Dedalus finds his family being torn apart over their differing opinions of the matter. Shaken by all the fighting and animosity, Stephen begins to wonder where he can place his faith. Questioning the Irish and Catholic ideology that he was raised on, Stephen begins to rebel against expectations as he departs for college. While he excels in his studies, Stephen struggles to conform to the social norms of his college, leading him on a self-destructive path of unwise behavior. Attempting to navigate his new home life, conflicting beliefs, and his own coming-of-age, Stephen searches for his identity and struggles to belong. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce is a semi-autobiographical tale centered around finding one's identity, both separate from and amid societal expectations. First published in 1916, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man required a grueling writing and publication process, in which Joyce nearly destroyed the original draft of the novel in a fit of frustration. Written in a modernist style, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man depicts the timeless and relatable struggle of an intellectual and religious awakening. With themes of identity, religion, and family, Joyce¿s debut novel continues to capture the minds and hearts of modern audiences, and has inspired both film and stage adaptations. This edition of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce now features a new, eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man crafts an accessible and pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while restoring the original drama and emotional mastery of James Joyce¿s literature.

Allá en otros tiempos (y bien buenos tiempos que eran), había una vez una vaquita (¡mu!) que iba por un caminito. Y esta vaquita que iba por un caminito se encontró un niñín muy guapín, al cual le llamaban el nene de la casä Este era el cuento que le contaba su padre. Su padre le miraba a través de un cristal: tenía la cara peluda. Él era el nene de la casa. La vaquita venía por el caminito donde vivía Betty Byrne: Betty Byrne vendía trenzas de azúcar al limón. Ay, las flores de las rosas silvestres en el pradecito verde. Esta era la canción que cantaba. Era su canción. Ay, las floles de las losas veldes. Cuando uno moja la cama, aquello está calentito primero y después se va poniendo frío. Su madre colocaba el hule. ¡Qué olor tan raro! Su madre olía mejor que su padre y tocaba en el piano una jiga de marineros para que la bailase él. Bailaba: Tralala lala, tralala tralalaina, tralala lala, tralala lala. Tío Charles y Dante aplaudían. Eran más viejos que su padre y que su madre; pero tío Charles era más viejo que Dante.

Los Muertos es un gesto de reparación a Irlanda. Expresa aquí su admiración por la hospitalidad de su pueblo. La hospitalidad puede ser sinónimo de universalidad: Irlanda, tan universal y hospitalaria en su localismo.

This riverrun edition presents Joyce's first major work with a new preface by Patrick McGuinness.

No había esperanza esta vez: era la tercera embolia. Noche tras noche pasaba yo por la casa (eran las vacaciones) y estudiaba el alumbrado cuadro de la ventana: y noche tras noche lo veía iluminado del mismo modo débil y parejo. Si hubiera muerto, pensaba yo, vería el reflejo de las velas en las oscuras persianas, ya que sabía que se deben colocar dos cirios a la cabecera del muerto. A menudo él me decía: «No me queda mucho en este mundo», y yo pensaba que hablaba por hablar. Ahora supe que decía la verdad. Cada noche al levantar la vista y contemplar la ventana me repetía a mí mismo en voz baja la palabra «parálisis». Siempre me sonaba extraña en los oídos, como la palabra gnomón en Euclides y la simonía del «catecismo». Pero ahora me sonó a cosa mala y llena de pecado. Me dio miedo y, sin embargo, ansiaba observar de cerca su trabajo maligno.

Often considered the greatest collection of short stories in the English language, Dubliners is the vivid portrayal of the people of "dear dirty Dublin" at the beginning of the twentieth century. In fifteen subtly interlinked stories that move from childhood to maturity and a reckoning with death, Joyce provides nuanced accounts of the lives, language, loves, and losses of the inhabitants of his native city. In these moving stories Joyce invents some literary techniques that have forever transformed storytelling and the shape of the novel. A detailed foreword to this authoritative edition highlights the depth of Joyce's understanding of humanity and how Dubliners foreshadows his later experimental writing in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. This Warbler Classics edition includes an afterword by M. Keith Booker and a detailed biographical timeline.

James Joyce's book of poems titled Chamber Music was released by Elkin Mathews in May 1907. There were originally thirty-four love poems in the anthology, but two more were added before it was published ("All day I hear the noise of waters" and "I hear an army charging upon the land"). Although it is widely believed that the title refers to the sound of urine tinkling in a chamber pot, this is a later Joycean embellishment that gives an earthiness to a title that was initially proposed by his brother Stanislaus and that Joyce (by the time of publication) had come to dislike: "The reason I dislike Chamber Music as a title is that it is too complacent," he admitted to Arthur Symons in 1906. "I would prefer a title that criticized the work while avoiding outright trashing it." Chamber Music's poetry isn't at all racy or evocative of the sound of tinkling urine, in fact. The poems were well-received by critics despite poor sales (less than half of the original print run of 500 had been sold in the first year).

Finnegans Wake is one of the most difficult works of fiction in the Western canon.There are four Parts or Books and seventeen chapters total in Finnegans Wake. The chapters lack titles, and while Joyce didn't offer potential chapter titles as he had for Ulysses, he did give titles to several portions that were published separately. Part 1: Dublin hod carrier "Finnegan," Joyce's central figure, perishes after falling from a ladder while building a wall. HCE's wife ALP accuses him of being a scam after having her son Shem transcribe a letter about him and give it to another son Shaun. Part 2: The primary protagonists are Shem, Shaun, and Issy, who are banished from their home by their parents after they misjudged the color of a girl's eyes based on their "gaze work." HCE is a Norwegian Captain who, via his marriage to a tailor's daughter, became domesticated. Part 3: The Four Masters' Ass describes how he believed he had heard and seen Shaun the Post's ghost while he was "falling asleep." Part 4: The book is written as a collection of short stories, and it opens with a plea for daybreak. The river Liffey, represented by ALP, flows into the ocean at dawn to mark the end of Part IV.

Dubliners, a collection of James Joyce's fifteen short stories, was first published in 1914. It provides a realistic portrayal of Irish middle-class life in Dublin and the surrounding area in the early 20th century. When the stories were written, Irish nationalism was at its peak, and there was a huge desire for a sense of national identity and mission. Standing at a nexus of history and culture, Ireland was being jolted by numerous converging ideas and forces. They focus on the paralysis theme and Joyce's concept of an epiphany, which is a character's transformational self-understanding or illumination (Joyce felt Irish nationalism stagnated cultural progression, placing Dublin at the heart of a regressive movement). Following Joyce's categorization of the collection into childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life, the following stories are written in the third person and deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older individuals. The first three stories in the book are narrated by children. Many of the Dubliner's characters later made cameos in Ulysses by James Joyce.

The first novel of Irish author James Joyce is titled A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man. Stephen Dedalus describes his early years in a voice that is not his own yet is sensitive to his sentiments, using vocabulary that evolves as he does. Stephen is coming to grips with the world, and the reader experiences his worries and confusion with him. Word gets throughout Clongowes Wood College that some guys have been caught "smuggling."When Stephen's father incurs debt, the family vacates their comfortable suburban house and moves to Dublin. Stephen is aware that he won't be going back to Clongowes.The boys in Stephen's class are taken on a religious retreat while the author indulges in sensuous pleasures. Stephen gives the passages on pride, guilt, retribution, and the Four Last Things particular attention (death, judgment, Hell, and Heaven).Both his mother and father criticize him for returning to the Church. He concludes that Ireland's limitations prevent him from expressing himself as an artist fully. He declares his links to his home country before leaving for his self-imposed exile.
