Author of "Dubliners," "The Dead," "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," and also "Ulysses," considered the work that inaugurates the modern novel and one of the most important in Western literature. "Dubliners" was written by James Joyce starting in 1904 and published in 1914. It consists of fifteen stories focusing on various aspects of city life and its inhabitants. It is an excellent entry point into the fascinating literary world of James Joyce.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A Künstlerroman written in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, Joyce''s fictional alter ego, whose surname alludes to Daedalus, Greek mythology''s consummate craftsman. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man explores what it means to become an artist. Stephen''s decision at the end of the novel to leave his family and friends behind and go into exile in order to become an artist-suggests that Joyce sees the artist as a necessarily isolated figure.

A semi-autobiographical novel by James Joyce, first serialised in the magazine The Egoist from 1914 to 1915, and published first in book format in 1916. It tells the story of Stephen Dedalus''s childhood and youth in Dublin; his quest for identity through art, and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself. It is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist''s ''eternal imagination''.

One of the classic masterpieces you must read before you die. 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''. Both an insight into Joyce''s life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to blossom fully into themselves

Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce''s Dubliners is a vivid and unflinching portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century. These fifteen stories, including such unforgettable ones as "Araby," "Grace," and "The Dead," delve into the heart of the city of Joyce''s birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners'' speech and portraying with an almost brute realism their outer and inner lives. Dubliners is Joyce at his most accessible and most profound, and this edition is the definitive text, authorized by the Joyce estate and collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author''s original wishes.

One of the greatest books ever written. A splendid masterpiece. Loosely based on the Odyssey, this landmark of modern literature follows ordinary Dubliners in 1904. Capturing a single day in the life of Dubliner Leopold Bloom, his friends Buck Mulligan and Stephen Dedalus, his wife Molly, and a scintillating cast of supporting characters, Joyce pushes Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. Captivating experimental techniques range from interior monologues to exuberant wordplay and earthy humor. A major achievement in 20th century literature. James Joyce, Irish novelist, noted for his experimental use of language in such works as Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939).

In 1905, the young James Joyce, then most effective twenty-3 years vintage, sent a manuscript of twelve quick memories to an English publisher. Delays in publishing gave Joyce ample time to add 3 carried out memories over the next years: "Two Gallants," "A Little Cloud," and "The Dead" had been introduced later. Although the memories were powerful, innovative work, Dubliners became now not posted until 1914. The delay changed into due to situation about the frank sexual content material (which, by cutting-edge standards, is pretty slight) and a number of the charged political and social troubles addressed within the series.Dubliners is the primary-born of Joyce''s significant canon (Dubliners, a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegan''s Wake). Though now taken into consideration a masterpiece, its behind schedule booklet altered its public reception. Though Joyce become astonishingly young (twenty-5 years of age at the time of the of completion of "The Dead"), the gathering in no way noticed print till he was thirty-3 years old. By that time, Joyce turned into already publishing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in serial form in The Egoist. The flow-of-recognition experiments of Portrait and Ulysses attracted for extra interest than the extra truthful narrative fashion in Joyce''s brief tales. For a few years, the brilliant accomplishment in Dubliners changed into eclipsed through Joyce''s experimental novels.

It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature[1] 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". 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 the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland''s relationship to Britain. The novel is highly allusive and also imitates the styles of different periods of English literature.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man represents the transitional stage between the realism of Joyce''s Dubliners and the symbolism of Ulysses, and is essential to the understanding of the later work. The novel is a highly autobiographical account of the adolescence and youth of Stephen Dedalus, who reappears in Ulysses, and who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics and essential bigotry of his background in late 19th century Ireland. Written with a light touch, this is perhaps the most accessible of Joyce''s works.

This carefully crafted ebook: "ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. 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". 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 (the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce divided Ulysses into 18 chapters or "episodes". At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic; Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant", which would earn the novel "immortality". James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, the short-story collection Dubliners, and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.

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.

Examines the life and writings of James Joyce, including a biographical sketch, detailed synopses of his works, social and historical influences, and more.

His mother put on the oilsheet. That had the queer smell. His mother had a nicer smell than his father. She played on the piano the sailor''s hornpipe for him to dance. He danced: Tralala lala, Tralala tralaladdy, Tralala lala, Tralala lala. Uncle Charles and Dante clapped. They were older than his father and mother but uncle Charles was older than Dante. Dante had two brushes in her press. The brush with the maroon velvet back was for Michael Davitt and the brush with the green velvet back was for Parnell. Dante gave him a cachou every time he brought her a piece of tissue paper. The Vances lived in number seven. They had a different father and mother. They were Eileen''s father and mother. When they were grown up he was going to marry Eileen. He hid under the table. His mother said: -O, Stephen will apologize. Dante said: -O, if not, the eagles will come and pull out his eyes.- Pull out his eyes, Apologize, Apologize, Pull out his eyes. Apologize, Pull out his eyes, Pull out his eyes, Apologize.

"The Dead is one of the twentieth century''s most beautiful pieces of short literature. Taking his inspiration from a family gathering held every year on the Feast of the Epiphany, Joyce pens a story about a married couple attending a Christmas-season party at the house of the husband''s two elderly aunts. A shocking confession made by the husband''s wife toward the end of the story showcases the power of Joyce''s greatest innovation: the epiphany, that moment when everything, for character and reader alike, is suddenly clear.

A fine and accessible introduction to the work of one of the 20th-century''s most influential writers, it includes a masterpiece of the short-story genre, "The Dead."
