Dublin początku XX wieku to miasto ciasnych konwenansów, surowego katolicyzmu i politycznego wrzenia. Dla Stephena Dedalusa ten świat jest siecią, która ma powstrzymać jego duszę przed lotem. W swojej ikonicznej powieści James Joyce zapisuje proces bolesnego wyzwalania się z narzuconych ról i narodziny twórcy, który odrzuca bezpieczną przynależność na rzecz niepewnej wolności. By chronić swoją niezależność, Stephen wybiera własną drogę – orężem czyniąc milczenie, wygnanie i s...

Dubliners, Joyce's first major work and written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. From 'The Sisters', a vivid portrait of childhood faith and guilt, to 'Araby', a timeless evocation of the inexplicable yearnings of adolescence, to 'The Dead', in which Gabriel Conroy is gradually brought to a painful epiphan...

After ten long years spent away from Dublin, Richard, Bertha and their young illegitimate son Archie are back home. Despite expectations of comfort and domesticity, the couple's return to the place where they first met triggers an existential questioning, an anxiousness which is exacerbated by meetings with old friends and lovers.James Joyce's only surviving play, Exiles builds upon one of his most famous short stories, 'The Dead', to provide a profound exploration of jealous...

Na ewentualne wątpliwości i pytanie, po co zajmować się bardzo wczesnymi tekstami Joyce’a, pośród których są nawet jego wypracowania szkolne i referaty, dobrze odpowiada Umberto Eco: Jeśli jest prawdą, że każdy pisarz rozwija jedną myśl przez całe życie, to owa zasada wydaje się szczególnie oczywista w przypadku Joyce’a: jeszcze nie otrzymał stopnia bachelora, a już wiedział, co ma robić dalej – i ogłosił to, nawet jeśli w sposób nieformalny i raczej naiwny, w tych murach [U...

James Joyce’s first published book, which he wrote when he was still in his twenties, Dubliners is far removed from the bold experimentalism of his later work, but is essential for understanding the author’s development as a writer, and endures as a masterly example of the short-story form. Although ranging considerably in tone, mood and milieu, the fifteen short stories included in this collection all centre around the city of Dublin and its inhabitants at the beginning of t...

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr. Jacqueline Belanger, University of Cardiff. 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. This novel is a highly autobiographical account of the adolescence of Stephen Dedalus, who reappears in Ulysses, and who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himse...

EDITED BY HANS WALTER GABLER WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY SCARLETT BARON AND JOHN BANVILLEIn this powerfully influential series of short stories, James Joyce captures uneasy souls, shabby lives and innocent minds in the dark streets and homes of his native city. In doing so, he conjures uncertainties and desires, illumines moments of joy and sorrow otherwise lost in private memory, and pierces the many mysteries at the heart of things.

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 reb...

It is only James Joyce's towering genius as a novelist that has led to his comparative neglect as a poet. And yet his poems not only occupy a pivotal position in Joyce's career, they are also magnificently assured achievements in their own right. 'Chamber Music' is an extraordinary début, fusing a broad swathe of styles with characteristically sharp irony and joyful verbal exuberance. 'Pomes Penyeach' confronts painful personal issues of adultery, jealousy and betrayal and so...

Joyce's final work, Finnegans 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 rema...

Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.

Od premiery najważniejszego dokonania Joyce’a mija w 2022 roku sto lat. Jak przystało na arcydzieło, „Ulisses” obrósł w tym czasie wielką legendą. Mówi się o nim, że to majstersztyk literackiego modernizmu, najdoskonalsza artystycznie powieść, jaką kiedykolwiek napisano, najtrudniejsza w lekturze (i przekładzie) książka świata, księga ksiąg, zawierająca całą wiedzę ludzkości, powieść z kluczem albo powieść szyfr, kryjąca tajemne treści. Niektórzy komentatorzy twierdzą nawet, ...

NOWY PRZEKŁAD! Silnie autobiograficzna powieść Joyce’a, kreśląca historię dojrzewania młodego pisarza w Irlandii początku dwudziestego wieku. Atrakcyjna lektura dla każdego, a dla koneserów – prawdziwe święto.

NOWY PRZEKŁAD! James Joyce cieszy się opinią pisarza trudnego - ale opinia ta nie dotyczy każdej jego książki. Dublińczycy, znakomity zbiór piętnastu opowiadań, z których kilka to prawdziwe perły, a jedno (Zmarli) uznawane jest za arcydzieło gatunku, to rzecz nadzwyczaj przystępna. Joyce postawił sobie za cel stworzenie dzieła, które pokaże, jak naprawdę wyglądało życie w Irlandii na początku dwudziestego wieku. W krótkich tekstach maluje wielostronny portret Dublin...

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'.

Everybody knows now that Ulysses is the greatest novel of the century' Anthony Burgess, ObserverFollowing  the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th June 1904, and what  happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife  Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived  censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed  blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly  inventive, garrulous, funny...

WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY DR DIETER FUCHS AND JOSEPH O'CONNORAgainst the backdrop of nineteenth century Dublin, a boy becomes a man: his mind testing its powers, obsessions taking hold and loosening again, the bonds of family, tradition, nation and religion transforming from supports into shackles; until the young man devotes himself to the celebration of beauty, and reaches for independence and the life of an artist.

Introduction and Notes by Laurence Davies, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. 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 ...
