Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and then published in its entirety in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature 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 (Unabridged)

Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written 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 centre on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences 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 child 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. 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 (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he perfected. Other major works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939).

Dubliners

‘Riverrun past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs...’ So starts Finnegans Wake, the greatest challenge in 20th-century literature. Who is Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker? And what did he get up to in Phoenix Park? And what did Anna Livia Plurabelle have to say about it? In the rich nighttime and the language of dreams, here are history, anecdote, myth, folk tale and, above all, a wondrous sense of humour, coloured by a clear sense of humanity. In this exceptional reading by the Irish actor Barry McGovern, with Marcella Riordan, the world of the Wake is more accessible than ever before.

Finnegans Wake

Ulysses is a novel by James Joyce, first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on February 2, 1922, in Paris. It is considered one of the most important works of Modernist literature. Ulysses chronicles the passage through Dublin by its main character, Leopold Bloom, during an ordinary day, June 16, 1904. The title alludes to the hero of Homer's Odyssey (Latinised into Ulysses), and there are many parallels, both implicit and explicit, between the two works (e.g., the correspondences between Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus). Few first editions generate more excitement among traders in rare books than Ulysses. Since the novel's debut, many experts have reinterpreted surviving drafts to produce revised texts, but this edition remains the one that Joyce himself reviewed and corrected prior to the initial publication. Thus, this volume represents the version truest to the author's vision.

Ulysses by James Joyce

"Ulysses" is a novel by Irish writer James Joyce, first published in 1922. This outstanding example of modernist literature is one of the most influential and complex works of the 20th century. The novel is a reworking of Homer's epic work "The Odyssey", transferred into the context of one day — June 16, 1904 — in the life of an ordinary man named Leopold Bloom in Dublin. This day, known as "Bloomsday", includes the events and experiences of various characters, mainly Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly and the young writer Stephen Dedalus. "Ulysses" has a unique structure and style: each of its 18 episodes is made in a different literary technique, from stream of consciousness and internal monologue to parodies and mythological allusions. The work focuses on the daily life and inner experiences of the characters, which allows Joyce to explore the themes of consciousness, identity, morality and art. Despite the apparent simplicity of the plot, the novel is riddled with deep philosophical reflections and experiments with language. "Ulysses" questions traditional forms of storytelling, exploring the complexity of human experience and transforming it into an epic chronicle of a single day. The text of the novel is presented in the original language without translation or adaptation.

Ulysses chronicles the appointments and encounters of the itinerant 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. Since its publication, the book has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". The novel's stream of consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose—replete with puns, parodies, and allusions—as well as its rich characterization and broad humor have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history; Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday.

Ulysses ist der Roman des irischen Schriftstellers James Joyce und das wichtigsten Werke der modernistischen Literatur; er wurde als "eine Demonstration und Zusammenfassung der gesamten Bewegung" bezeichnet. Declan Kiberd zufolge hatte "vor Joyce kein Schriftsteller der Belletristik den Prozess des Denkens so in den Vordergrund gestellt". Ulysses schildert die Verabredungen und Begegnungen des Wanderers Leopold Bloom in Dublin im Laufe eines gewöhnlichen Tages, des 16. Juni 1904. Ulysses ist der latinisierte Name von Odysseus, dem Helden von Homers epischem Gedicht Odyssee, und der Roman stellt eine Reihe von Parallelen her, mit strukturellen Entsprechungen zwischen den Charakteren und Erfahrungen von Bloom und Odysseus, Molly Bloom und Penelope und Stephen Dedalus und Telemachus, zusätzlich zu Ereignissen und Themen des frühen 20 Jahrhunderts. Der Roman ist sehr anspielungsreich und imitiert auch die Stile verschiedener Epochen der englischen Literatur. Seit seiner Veröffentlichung hat das Buch Kontroversen und Untersuchungen ausgelöst, die von einem Obszönitätsprozess in den Vereinigten Staaten im Jahr 1921 bis hin zu langwierigen "Joyce-Kriegen" um den Text reichten. Die Technik des Bewusstseinsstroms, die sorgfältige Strukturierung und die experimentelle Prosa des Romans - voll von Wortspielen, Parodien und Anspielungen - sowie die reichhaltige Charakterisierung und der breite Humor haben dazu geführt, dass der Roman als eines der größten literarischen Werke der Geschichte gilt; Joyce-Fans in aller Welt feiern den 16. Juni als Bloomsday. Das Zimmer von James Joyce im James Joyce Tower und Museum: Um 8 Uhr morgens ruft Malachi "Buck" Mulligan, ein ungestümer Medizinstudent, den aufstrebenden Schriftsteller Stephen Dedalus auf das Dach des Sandycove Martello Towers, wo sie beide wohnen. Die Spannungen zwischen Dedalus und Mulligan rühren von einer grausamen Bemerkung her, die Stephen von Mulligan über seine kürzlich verstorbene Mutter gehört hat, und von der Tatsache, dass Mulligan einen englischen Studenten, Haines, eingeladen hat, bei ihnen zu wohnen. Die drei Männer frühstücken und gehen zum Ufer, wo Mulligan von Stephen den Schlüssel zum Turm und ein Darlehen verlangt. Die drei verabreden sich für 12:30 Uhr in der Kneipe The Ship. Bei der Abreise beschließt Stephen, dass er in dieser Nacht nicht mehr zum Turm zurückkehren wird, da Mulligan, der "Usurpator", ihn in Besitz genommen hat. Nestor: Stephen unterrichtet eine Geschichtsklasse über die Siege des Pyrrhus von Epirus. Nach dem Unterricht bleibt ein Schüler, Cyril Sargent, zurück, damit Stephen ihm zeigt, wie man eine Reihe von algebraischen Aufgaben löst. Stephen betrachtet Sargents hässliches Gesicht und versucht, sich die Liebe von Sargents Mutter zu ihm vorzustellen. Dann besucht er den gewerkschaftlichen Schuldirektor Garrett Deasy, bei dem er seinen Lohn abholt. Deasy bittet Stephen, seinen langatmigen Brief über die Maul- und Klauenseuche zum Druck in ein Zeitungsbüro zu bringen. Die beiden diskutieren über die irische Geschichte, und Deasy hält einen Vortrag über die Rolle der Juden in der Wirtschaft, wie er meint. Als Stephen geht, scherzt Deasy, dass Irland "die Juden nie verfolgt" habe, weil das Land sie "nie hereingelassen" habe. Aus dieser Episode stammen einige der bekanntesten Sätze des Romans, wie etwa die Behauptung von Dedalus, dass "die Geschichte ein Alptraum ist, aus dem ich zu erwachen versuche" und dass Gott "ein Schrei auf der Straße" ist ... Ulysses wurde erstmals 1922 in Paris veröffentlicht, aber seine Veröffentlichung im Vereinigten Königreich und in den Vereinigten Staaten war wegen seiner vermeintlichen Obszönität verboten. Exemplare wurden in beide Länder geschmuggelt und Raubkopien gedruckt, bis die Veröffentlichung Mitte der 1930er Jahre endlich legal wurde.

Den 16 juni 1904 är en dag som har gått till litteraturhistorien. Det är den dag då annonsförsäljaren Leopold Bloom äter en smörgås, går planlöst genom Dublin och tänker på sin otrogna hustru. Det är den dag då den unge poeten Stephen Dedalus samtalar, skryter, super och grubblar över sin döda mor. Dagen slutar i en natt där Molly Bloom i en vindlande, sinnlig monolog vakendrömmer om make och älskare. Det är en dag utan sensationer, men ändå en sensationell dag, gestaltad i ett språkligt fyrverkeri som fick prosan att te sig ny och oändligt möjlig.Erik Anderssons enastående nyöversättning av James Joyces Ulysses ger en inblick i hur revolutionerande romanen var och fortfarande är, kärv och humoristisk, högdragen och ömsint.Ljudboken i uppläsning av Reine Brynolfsson har en speltid om nästan 40 timmar. En folder med efterord av Stephen Farran-Lee samt ordlista finns att ladda ner på www.bonnieraudio.se Där finns även tidsangivelser för olika kapitel i boken.Historierna kring boken är många:Enligt James Joyces egna beräkningar arbetade han i 10 000 timmar med Ulysses. Huruvida det stämmer eller inte är svårt att säga. Joyce skapade gärna myter om sig själv, och uppmuntrade journalister att skriva vansinnigheter om honom. Bland annat att han brukade simma i Seine varje morgon, och att han satt och skrev omgiven av speglar. James Joyce och Marcel Proust träffades en gång. Efteråt menade Joyce att valet av diskussionsämne var egendomligt med tanke på att det var den moderna litteraturens fixstjärnor som möttes. Proust frågade om Joyce tyckte om tryffel. Joyce svarade: "Ja, det gör jag." Flera år innan Ulysses kom ut i Frankrike publicerades den som följetong i den amerikanska tidskriften Little Review. Men när man kommit så långt som till kapitel 13, som bland annat beskriver hur Leopold Bloom masturberar, var det stopp. Utgivningen förbjöds, eftersom boken ansågs obscen. Domare J M Woolsey friade till slut boken 1933, och förklarade att de fula ord som användes i romanen var "gamla anglosaxiska uttryck som inte är främmande för några män och jag vågar påstå inte för många kvinnor heller, och som används dagligen och helt naturligt av de människor vilkas kroppsliga och själsliga liv Joyce velat beskriva".

James Joyces Hauptwerk über einen Tag in Dublin Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts: In 18 Episoden, die hauptsächlich in Form von inneren Monologen wiedergegeben werden und an Homers "Odysee" angelehnt sind, beschreibt Joyce den 16. Juni 1904 in Dublin, bei dem die beiden Protagonisten Leopold Bloom und Stephen Dedalus aufeinandertreffen. Der Inbegriff des modernen Romans! 

Ulysses James Joyce - 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 Blooms 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.In the past, Ulysses has been labeled dirty, blasphemous, and even unreadable. None of these adjectives, 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 a close-focus sort of way) suspenseful. And despite the exegetical industry that has sprung up in the last 75 years, Ulysses is also a compulsively readable book.William Blake saw the universe in a grain of sand. Joyce saw it in Dublin, Ireland, on June 16, 1904, a day distinguished by its utter normality. Two characters, Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom, go about their separate business, crossing paths with a gallery of indelible Dubliners. We watch them teach, eat, stroll the streets, argue, and (in Blooms case) masturbate. And thanks to the books stream-of-consciousness technique  which suggests no mere stream but an impossibly deep, swift-running river  were privy to their thoughts, emotions, and memories. The result? Almost every variety of human experience is crammed into the accordian folds of a single day, which makes Ulysses not just an experimental work but the very last word in realism.I hold this book to be the most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape. T. S. EliotWhat is so staggering about Ulysses is the fact that behind a thousand veils nothing lies hidden; that it turns neither toward the mind nor toward the world, but, as cold as the moon looking on from cosmic space, allows the drama of growth, being, and decay to pursue its course. Carl JungThe greatest novel of the 20th century. Anthony Burgess

In James Joyce's ULYSSES, the reader is immersed in the stream-of-consciousness narrative of the protagonist, Leopold Bloom, as he navigates through Dublin on a single day. Joyce's modernist style challenges traditional storytelling, incorporating elements such as puns, parodies, and allusions, making the text rich and complex. The book delves into themes of identity, nationality, and the mundane moments of daily life, making it a cornerstone of modernist literature. ULYSSES is not just a novel, but a work of art that pushes the boundaries of literary expression. James Joyce, an Irish novelist, drew inspiration from his own experiences living in Dublin, as well as from classical literature such as Homer's 'Odyssey'. His intricate writing style and attention to detail reflect his deep understanding of human nature and the complexities of the world. Joyce's talent for wordplay and experimentation with language sets him apart as a literary innovator. I highly recommend ULYSSES to readers who appreciate challenging and thought-provoking literature. This book will take you on a literary journey unlike any other, offering profound insights into the human condition and the power of storytelling.

ULYSSES

Ein Meisterwerk der literarischen Moderne über die Bewohner von Joyces Heimatstadt Dublin: In diesen 15 Kurzgeschichten, die lose chronologisch von der Kindheit bis ins Alter reichen, beschreibt Joyce das Leben der irischen Mittelschicht zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Unter Verwendung der erlebten Rede, die sich weniger auf äußere Handlungen fokussiert, geht es oft um das Verhaften in erstarrten Abläufen, die Veränderungen praktisch nicht zulassen.-

Finnegans Wake, the greatest avant-garde novel of all time, was first published seventy years ago – and people are still trying to work out what it is about. There is Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker – aka HCE (Here Comes Everyone) – and Anna Livia Plurabelle, but also Finnegan the hod carrier (or was he a giant?), whose wake is the subject of the book. This masterly reading of the abridged version, with copious notes aiding comprehension, is republished with a new cover.

A Dublinesos, Jame Joyce reuneix quinze relats que recreen episodis de la seva ciutat. Les diverses històries s'encreuen i els personatges van i vénen, desapareixen i reapareixen, de manera que s'ha vist en aquest llibre una novel·la amb un únic personatge: Dublin. james Augustine Aloysius Joyce (Dublín, 2 de febrer de 1882) va ser un poeta i escriptor irlandès, reconegut a tot el món com un dels autors més importants i influents del segle XX. Joyce és aclamat per la seva obra mestra, Ulisses (1922). Ha estat molt valorada la sèrie d'històries breus titulada Dublinesos (1914). Joyce és un dels principals representants del corrent literari anomenat modernisme anglosaxó.

Dublinesos

Una autèntica obra mestra de la narrativa curta contemporània. La vetllada nadalenca a casa de les senyoretes Morkan és l'esdeveniment anual per excel·lència. La llar s'omple de riures, música i ball per al gaudi de convidats i amfitriones. Però també del sord silenci dels que ja no hi són. La memòria dels que se n'han anat portarà els personatges d'aquesta història a recórrer camins que s'havien oblidat. El lector, de la mà de Gabriel Conroy, perdut en el reflex de la nit blanca dublinesa, assistirà a una epifania, ja inmortal en els annals de la literatura, que anticipa les tècniques renovadores que va emprar Joyce a Retrat de l'artista adolescent i en Ulisses.

Els morts

En aquest volum s'agrupen tres grans comèdies de Shakespeare, en la traducció canònica de Salvador Oliva, per primera vegada en un sol volum. Escrites totes tres al voltant del 1600, són considerades entre les més enginyoses i, al mateix temps, més complexes de la seva extensa obra, una de les més celebrades i influents de tota la història de la literatura universal. La celebrada traducció d'Oliva suposa una fita en el llarg historial de traduccions a la nostra llengua de Shakespeare. Salvador Oliva (Banyoles, 1942), poeta, escriptor i professor a la Universitat de Girona, ha dedicat bona part de la seva vida a traduir i estudiar l'obra de William Shakespeare.

Ulises

Dublinfolk, den irske forfatter James Joyces første prosaværk fra 1914, handler om mennesker i Dublin, børn og voksne: En skoledreng oplever, hvordan hans ven, en gammel præst, får et slagtilfælde, bliver lam og dør; en midaldrende mand forlader den, han holder af, fordi han ikke længere kan holde samlivet med hende ud; en mand, der er hjemme for at passe sit barn og lader sin irritation over konen gå ud over den lille; en dreng, der kommer for sent til et tivoli ... Det er en verden, hvor omgivelserne har magten over menneskene; mulighederne for at bryde ud er få og små, men de lades ikke uforsøgt.

”Dublinere er et mesterstykke. Blandt de bedste novellesamlinger, jeg har læst” – Information ”En glimrende læseoplevelse” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Kristeligt Dagblad James Joyces novellesamling Dublinere står for mange som den bedste nogensinde på engelsk. I Karsten Sand Iversens nyoversættelse bringes mesterværket igen til live på dansk. Novellerne skildrer med realisme og sproglig magi liv og mennesker i Dublin i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet. Det er en by som er lammet af den katolske kirkes magt og britisk overherredømme. Joyce skriver om liv og død, om sex og fortrængning, om udnyttelse og hjertelighed og skaber et livfuldt portræt af mennesker, som rækker langt ud over den irske hovedstad. Fra åbningsnovellen Søstrene, der tegner et levende portræt af barndommens tro og skyld, til afslutningsnovellen De døde, hvor Gabriel Conroy bringes til en smertefuld erkendelse om sin kone og sig selv, opbygger Joyce i 15 noveller en mindeværdig rollebesætning af dublinere i en kraftfuld udforskning af livets store temaer.

Dublinere

ULYSSES er et af de helt centrale og nyskabende værker i 1900tallets litteratur og et højdepunkt i den litterære modernisme - provokerende, morsom, rørende og ind i mellem ganske utilgængelig. En universel historie om kærlighed, svigt og magt - en bog, der er svaret på alt! Nu udkommer dette storværk i en ny frisk og spændstig dansk oversættelse af Karsten Sand Iversen. Romanen skildrer Dublins brogede liv i løbet af en enkelt dag, d. 16. juni 1904 nærmere bestemt, og følger to hovedpersoner - den unge skolelærer Stephen Dedalus og den midaldrende jødiske annoncesælger Leopold Bloom - på deres færd gennem byen, mens den giver et højst intimt indblik i deres adfærd og tankeliv. PRESSEN SKREV: »Der er liv og poesi i Karsten Sand Iversens flotte og dristige nye oversættelse af et af verdenslitteraturens mesterværker.« ****** – Lars Ole Sauerberg, Jyllands-Posten »Skøn og sjofel, sofistikeret og saftig, vild og vanvittig, krævende og kulret kommer Joyces ’Ulysses’ os i møde i Karsten Sand Iversens fuldt ud prægtige gendigtning. Det er nu, ’Ulysses’ skal læses eller genlæses.” ****** – Mikkel Bruun Zangenberg, Politiken »Karsten Sand Iversens fænomenale nyoversættelse slår Mogens Boisens gamle oversættelse af marken […] Med Joyces skandaløse, skabrøse værk blev fortællekunsten absolut moderne« – Erik Skyum-Nielsen, Information »Årets vigtigste klassikeroversættelse udkommer i dag. James Joyces skelsættende " Ulysses" er i den nye udgave både præcis og musikalsk« – Michael Bach Henriksen, Kristeligt Dagblad »Ulysses er meget morsommere og langt mere spændende end sit rygte. Den kan sagtens læses af almindelige dødelige. Og i den nye oversættelse får vi endda en mere personlig version, der har karakter ligesom originalen« – Kristian Ditlev Jensen, Weekendavisen

James Joyces roman Portræt af kunstneren som ung mand (1916) udkom første gang på dansk i 1941. Denne udgave er en oversættelse fra 2009 ved en af landets dygtigste oversættere, Anne Marie Bjerg. Joyces klassiker er delvis selvbiografisk og en kraftfuld såvel som følsom skildring af en katolsk barndom i Irland. Beretningen om den unge Stephen Dedalus' genvordigheder på en jesuitisk kostskole og om hans intellektuelle og følelsesmæssige udvikling er fortællingen om en kunstners kamp for at finde sit eget udtryk. En kamp med synd, renhed og fromhed og et opgør med skole, fædreland og kirke. Bogen skildrer hovedpersonen Stephen Dedalus’ opvækst i det katolske Dublin, hans opgør med den jesuitiske opdragelses undertrykkende bånd, hans flugt, hans brud med familie og fædreland og hans kamp for at blive et frit og selvstændigt menneske. Via Joyces bevidsthedsstrøm opløser handlingen sig i en række erindringsbilleder, der samler sig i et af forrige århundredes mest særprægede og suggestive kunstværker.

Portræt af kunstneren som ung mand

Den 16. juni 1904 vandrer Leopold Bloom rundt i Dublins gader, imens hans kone Molly morer sig på kryds og tværs med andre mænd hjemme i ægtesengen. Leopold Bloom er blevet gjort til en ufrivillig hanrej, og hvad andet kan han gøre end at lade sine skosåler slide af vejen, blive ydmyget mellem husmure og på beværtninger og gemme sig i den ene erindring efter den anden efterhånden som de dukker op i Dublins våde tåge. Leopold Bloom er det 20 århundredes Odysseus, men i modsætning til Homers antikke krigerhelt, er Bloom en moderne antihelt. James Joyce (1882-1941) var en irsk forfatter, digter og dramatiker. James Joyce levede det meste af sit voksenliv i Paris og Zürich, omend alle hans værker foregår i fødebyen Dublin. James Joyce er særlig kendt for sin brug af "stream of consciousness" (bevidsthedsstrøm) og bliver regnet for en af det 20. århundredes mest indflydelsesrige forfattere.

Dublinezen is weliswaar het eerste werk van Joyce, maar allerminst eenvoudig. Het wordt altijd een verhalenbundel genoemd, maar is in feite een suite van epifanische inkijkjes in de verlamde ziel van de Dublinees in het begin van de twintigste eeuw. Het werk is nauw verbonden met de romans van Joyce, met name met Ulixes, dat ooit zelfs begon als verhaal voor Dublinezen. De verhalen zijn geschreven in wat Joyce zelf een stijl van ‘scrupulous meanness’ noemde: nauwgezette karigheid en nietsontziende narigheid. Hij schreef er een slordige tien jaar aan, en het is de kiem waaruit al zijn andere werk is gegroeid. Inmiddels is het klassieke werk honderd jaar oud en zijn de stilistische vernieuwingen misschien gemeengoed geworden in de wereldliteratuur, maar zoals Joyce het kon, kan niemand anders het.

Veel schrijvers onderzoeken hun jeugd in hun eerste boek, maar er zijn er maar weinig die hun kindertijd aan zoâ n kritisch zelfonderzoek onderwierpen als James Joyce in zijn romandebuut Zelfportret van de kunstenaar als jonge man. In de nieuwe, weergaloze vertaling van Erik Bindervoet en Robbert-Jan Henkes is dit meesterwerk weer zo fris als een eeuw geleden, toen het werd gepubliceerd. In zijn duizelingwekkende, experimentele stijl doet Joyce verslag van de coming of age van zijn alter ego Stephen Dedalus, een gevoelige en intelligente jongen die zich langzaam ontworstelt aan het verstikkende korset van kerk, familie en nationalisme. Bovenal is het een ode aan de grenzeloze verbeelding van de kunstenaar. Joyceâ genadeloze eerlijkheid werd indertijd als schokkend ervaren. Ondanks de voorspelling van een gevierd criticus dat Joyce nooit lezers zou krijgen als hij zijn toon niet zou matigen, groeide de roman uit tot een van de grootste klassiekers uit de twintigste eeuw.

Zelfportret van de kunstenaar als jonge man

Leopold Bloom, advertentie-acquisiteur, Alleman en Buitenstaander, de Ierse Odysseus, eerder antiheld dan held, wandelt op een schijnbaar gewone doordeweekse donderdag in juni 1904 door Dublin. Dat vormt het vertrekpunt voor wat is uitgegroeid tot de grootste klassieker van het modernisme, Ulixes. In achttien hoofdstukken, die boeken op zichzelf zijn, wordt het verhaal van Leopold verteld, en dat van Stephen Dedalus, de jonge dichter, alter ego en nom de plume van Joyce. Legendarisch is de prachtige monologue intérieur van zijn echtgenote Molly aan het eind van het boek: een gedachtestroom van vele pagina s, in zeven ademloze alinea s, vrijwel zonder interpunctie. In de sprankelende, avontuurlijke en gedurfde vertaling van Erik Bindervoet en Robbert-Jan Henkes die eerder het onleesbaar en onvertaalbaar geachte Finnegans Wake vernederlandsten wordt Joyce meesterwerk nieuw leven ingeblazen, tot en met de titel aan toe: Ulixes, zoals wij de Griekse held Odysseus al kennen sinds Van Maerlant en P.C. Hooft. De nieuwe vertaling van Bindervoet & Henkes doet recht aan het oorspronkelijke Joyceaans, in taaleigen, humor en alles wat het boek zo bijzonder maakt. `Ulysses is een huis, als het eerste huis waarin ik heb gewoond, waarin ik ben opgegroeid en waarvan ik me elke kamer, elke kast, elke klok, elk schilderij, elke verjaardag, elke winter en elk onverwacht bezoek herinner.

Ulixes

James Joyce's "Ulysses" is a monumental modernist novel that chronicles a single day in the life of Leopold Bloom as he traverses Dublin on June 16, 1904. The narrative employs a stream-of-consciousness technique that intricately weaves the mundane with the profound, showcasing a kaleidoscope of thoughts, emotions, and encounters. Joyce masterfully fuses a multitude of literary styles, from parody and pastiche to lyrical prose, all while paying homage to Homer's epic "Odyssey." Its bold structure and innovative use of language situate "Ulysses" as a cornerstone of early 20th-century literature, inviting readers to engage deeply with its themes of identity, alienation, and the search for meaning in everyday life. James Joyce (1882-1941), an Irish novelist and seminal figure in modernist literature, was deeply influenced by his own upbringing and experiences in Dublin. His previous works, such as "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and "Dubliners," laid the groundwork for the exploration of personal and cultural complexities that he would fully realize in "Ulysses." Joyce's innovative narrative style was driven by a desire to capture the essence of human consciousness and the intricate web of human relationships. "Ulysses" is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the depths of human experience through innovative narrative form. It challenges and invites readers to participate in an intricately woven tapestry of life, encouraging a profound reconsideration of the ordinary. Joyce's work remains as relevant today, offering insightful reflections on the human condition that resonate across time and place.

IVY DAY IN THE COMMITTEE ROOM: Old Jack raked the cinders together with a piece of cardboard and spread them judiciously over the whitening dome of coals.

Finnegans Wake James Joyce - A daring work of experimental, Modernist genius, James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is one of the greatest literary achievements of the twentieth century, and the crowning glory of Joyce's life. Joyce's final work, Finnegan's Wake is his masterpiece of the night as Ulysses is of the day. Supreme linguistic virtuosity conjures up the dark underground worlds of sexuality and dream. Joyce undermines traditional storytelling and all official forms of English and confronts the different kinds of betrayal - cultural, political and sexual - that he saw at the heart of Irish history. Dazzlingly inventive, with passages of great lyrical beauty and humour, Finnegans Wake remains one of the most remarkable works of the twentieth century.James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing. He only returned to Ireland briefly from the continent but Dublin was at heart of his greatest works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. He lived in poverty until the last ten years of his life and was plagued by near blindness and the grief of his daughter's mental illness.

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.

"Ulysses" is a written piece by James Joyce that was originally published in 1922. This novel is considered a cornerstone in modernist literature and is held in high regard as a seminal work of the 20th century. The story follows the journeys of three characters, Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom, as they navigate the city of Dublin over the course of one day in June 1904. Through its unique narrative style, intricate structure, and creative use of language, the novel delves into the complexities of human thought, the challenges of modern life, and the quest for purpose in a world that often appears devoid of meaning. Despite early controversy and its reputation for being a challenging read, "Ulysses" has since been widely recognized as a literary gem and a pioneering work of modernism. Its profound impact on the evolution of 20th-century literature and its influence on writers and artists globally have solidified its place as one of the most important and widely read works of the modern era.

This relentlessly downbeat collection explores the very worst aspects of human nature, and doesn't leave out the juicy bits. It might not be in the best possible taste, but who doesn't want to get down and dirty in Dublin?

James Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" is a seminal work in modernist literature that chronicles the life and intellectual evolution of Stephen Dedalus, a young man grappling with his identity and artistic aspirations in early 20th-century Dublin. Through stream-of-consciousness narration and rich, evocative language, Joyce delves into themes of individuality, religion, and the constraints of societal expectations. This coming-of-age narrative not only highlights the formative experiences that shape Dedalus's artistic consciousness but also serves as a microcosm of the broader cultural conflicts in Ireland during Joyce's time. Born in 1882 in Dublin, Joyce was deeply influenced by his experiences in a culturally repressive environment and a conflicted relationship with Catholicism. His own pursuit of artistic freedom and expression in a milieu rife with orthodoxy informs the protagonist's struggle for self-actualization. Joyce's background as a literary innovator, his embrace of modernist techniques, and his fascination with the complexities of human experience culminate in a powerful narrative that transcends his own biography. Readers looking to explore the intricacies of artistic identity and the socio-political landscape of Ireland will find "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" a compelling and enlightening exploration. Joyce's profound insights into the human condition and his stylistic innovations make this a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of modern literature and the quest for personal authenticity.

James Joyce's The Dead - Unabridged

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man [1916] established James Joyce as a leading figure in literary modernism across Europe. The novel is set in the author’s homeland, Ireland, and narrates, in five episodes, the childhood of Stephen Dedalus. The plot is entirely based on Joyce’s own life and serves as a private manifesto, particularly through its sharp declaration of independence from Catholicism. Joyce pioneered a new way of writing novels, abandoning traditional narration for stream of consciousness and introducing his epiphanies—momentary revelations that, in their everydayness, hint at a larger context of life. Upon the recommendation of the American poet Ezra Pound, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was serialized in the magazine The Egoist in 1914/15 before being published as a book the following year. Today, more than a hundred years after its release, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is considered one of the most significant autobiographical texts in world literature. The Modern Library ranked it as the 3rd best English-language novel of the 20th century (with Joyce’s Ulysses as #1). JAMES JOYCE [1882-1941], Irish author, is a key figure in modernist literature with works such as Dubliners [1914], A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man [1916], and Ulysses [1922].

"Ulysses," James Joyce's magnum opus, is a groundbreaking literary work that immerses readers into a single day in the life of Leopold Bloom in Dublin on June 16, 1904. Joyce delves into the depths of the human psyche through complex and experimental prose, setting new standards for modern fiction. Across its 18 chapters, Joyce employs a variety of narrative styles, including stream of consciousness, interior monologue, and even parodies of existing literary styles, to explore the thoughts, desires, and memories of his characters. The narrative follows not only Bloom but also Stephen Dedalus, a budding writer who echoes the character of Ulysses from Greek mythology. "Ulysses" is much more than a mere depiction of everyday life; it's a profound exploration of the human condition, addressing universal themes such as love, death, religion, politics, and identity. Joyce challenges the literary conventions of his time by crafting a novel that unfolds over a single day yet contains reflections and perspectives that transcend time and space. This iconic book is renowned for its complexity and rich symbolism, as well as its ability to capture reality intensely and often humorously. "Ulysses" remains a challenge for readers, but also an endless source of inspiration and fascination for those who seek to explore the depths of the human condition through the art of fiction.

Find out what made these iconic works so threatening to governments worldwide in these superlative dramatisations, featuring stellar casts and specially composed music. Ulysses – Prosecuted for obscenity in the UK and US, James Joyce’s seminal novel tells the combined stories of Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom, as they wander through Dublin on one ordinary day: 16th June 1904. The Well of Loneliness – Radclyffe Hall’s groundbreaking tale of lesbian love was judged as obscene soon after its publication in 1928, and banned in the UK for over 20 years. It centres around Stephen, a baby girl born to well-to-do parents who grows up feeling ‘different’ and knows she will never be attracted to a man. But will she always be an outcast? Brave New World – Aldous Huxley's visionary dystopian fable, banned in Ireland and Australia when it first appeared in 1932, portrays a corrupt future society where promiscuity is the norm, eugenics a respectable science and the drug soma is the opiate of the people. Token dissidents Bernard Marx and Helmholtz Watson long to be free – but it is an outsider, John ‘the Savage’, who shows them the true meaning of rebellion. Nineteen Eighty-Four – London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Ministry of Truth employee Winston Smith finds love with Julia, the duo begin to question the Party – but for enemies of the state, Room 101 awaits… George Orwell’s classic tale, banned in the Soviet Union until 1988 and still one of the most-challenged books in the USA today.

Banned Books: A BBC Radio Drama Collection

The book consists of 18 chapters, each covering roughly one hour of the day, beginning around 8 a.m. and ending sometime after 2 a.m. the following morning. Each chapter employs its own literary style, and parodies a specific episode in Homer's Odyssey. Furthermore, each chapter is associated with a specific colour, art or science, and bodily organ. This combination of kaleidoscopic writing with an extreme formal schematic structure renders the book a major contribution to the development of 20th-century modernist literature. The use of classical mythology as an organising framework, the near-obsessive focus on external detail, and the occurrence of significant action within the minds of characters have also contributed to the development of literary modernism. Nevertheless, Joyce complained that, "I may have oversystematised Ulysses," and played down the mythic correspondences by eliminating the chapter titles that had been taken from Homer. As he was completing work on Dubliners in 1906, Joyce considered adding another story featuring a Jewish advertising canvasser called Leopold Bloom under the title Ulysses. Although he did not pursue the idea further at the time, he eventually commenced work on a novel using both the title and basic premise in 1914. The writing was completed in October 1921. Three more months were devoted to working on the proofs of the book before Joyce halted work shortly before his self-imposed deadline, his 40th birthday (2 February 1922). This publication encountered censorship problems in the United States; serialisation was halted in 1920 when the editors were convicted of publishing obscenity. Although the conviction was based on the "Nausicaä" episode of Ulysses, The Little Review had fuelled the fires of controversy with dada poet Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven's defence of Ulysses in an essay "The Modest Woman." Joyce's novel was not published in the United States until 1933. With the appearance of both Ulysses and T. S. Eliot's poem, The Waste Land, 1922 was a key year in the history of English-language literary modernism. In Ulysses, Joyce employs stream of consciousness, parody, jokes, and virtually every other established literary technique to present his characters. The action of the novel, which takes place in a single day, 16 June 1904, sets the characters and incidents of the Odyssey of Homer in modern Dublin and represents Odysseus (Ulysses), Penelope and Telemachus in the characters of Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly Bloom and Stephen Dedalus, parodically contrasted with their lofty models. The book explores various areas of Dublin life, dwelling on its squalor and monotony. Nevertheless, the book is also an affectionately detailed study of the city, and Joyce claimed that if Dublin were to be destroyed in some catastrophe it could be rebuilt, brick by brick, using his work as a model. To achieve this level of accuracy, Joyce used the 1904 edition of Thom's Directory—a work that listed the owners and/or tenants of every residential and commercial property in the city. He also bombarded friends still living there with requests for information and clarification.
