A portrait of the artist as a young man. E-book. Formato Mobipocket James Joyce - Synapse Publishing, 2019 -
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. His struggle to find identity parallels the Irish struggle for independence during the early twentieth century. Although he rejects any outright nationalism, he is also heavily concerned with his country's future and understands himself as an Irishman. This leads clearly to a contradiction.The novel mixes third-person narrative with free indirect speech, which allows both identification with and distance from Stephen, and is written primarily as a third-person narrative with minimal dialogue until the final chapter. Joyce fully employs the free indirect style to demonstrate Stephen's intellectual development from his childhood, through his education, to his increasing independence and ultimate exile from Ireland as a young man.Complete edition with interactive table of contents.
Dubliners. E-book. Formato Mobipocket James Joyce - Synapse Publishing, 2019 -
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.Complete edition with interactive table of contents.
Ulysses. E-book. Formato Mobipocket James Joyce - Synapse Publishing, 2019 -
James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece, Ulysses, tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery. Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. 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.Complete edition with interactive table of contents.
