A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
The Complete & Unabridged Original Classic Edition
by James Joyce

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) is the first novel by Irish writer James Joyce. Written in a modernist style, with unconventional punctuation and stream-of-consciousness narration, it follows the religious, social and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, Joyce’s fictional alter ego. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939). Continue reading “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man”

Dubliners

Dubliners
The Complete & Unabridged Original Classic Edition
by James Joyce

Dubliners is the first of James Joyce’s major works to be published in book form, preceded by Chamber Music, a volume of poetry which appeared in 1907.

The arrangement of the stories mirrors the progress of human life, as the protagonists of the stories advance as life progresses, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and old age.
