Texte intégral révisé suivi d'une biographie de James Joyce. Préface de Valery Larbaud. Le monde de "Gens de Dublin" est déjà le monde du "Portrait de l'Artiste en jeune homme" et d'"Ulysse" mais c'est Dublin et ce sont des hommes et des femmes de Dublin. Non seulement toute la topographie de la ville y est exactement reproduite, les rues et les places y gardant leur vrai nom, mais encore les noms des commerçants n'ont pas été changés et certains notables habitants - bourgeois, journalistes, agents électoraux - y sont mis en scène avec leurs opinions politiques et leurs remarques parfois peu respectueuses. Leurs figures se détachent avec un grand relief sur le fond des rues, des places, du port et de la baie de Dublin. Jamais peut-être l'atmosphère d'une ville n'a été mieux rendue, et dans chacune de ces nouvelles, les personnes qui connaissent Dublin retrouveront une quantité d'impressions qu'elles croyaient avoir oubliées. Mais ce n'est pas la ville qui est le personnage principal, et le livre n'a pas d'unité: chaque nouvelle est isolée. C'est un portrait, ou un groupe, et ce sont des individualités bien marquées que Joyce se plaît à faire vivre ici. Nous en retrouverons du reste quelques-uns, que nous reconnaîtrons, autant à leurs paroles et à leurs traits qu'à leurs noms, dans les livres suivants de l'auteur.
Au titre-jeu de mots, ce recueil a paru pour la première fois en 1927, vingt ans après Musique de chambre, qui lui avait valu l'admiration de poètes déjà reconnus, notamment Ezra Pound et T.S. Eliot. Avant d'être romancier, Joyce est d'abord poète ou... poémier. Pour lui, la poésie est un jeu, "art mineur", dit-il, mais aussi un véritable laboratoire de recherches linguistiques. Tout le ressort de l'oeuvre romanesque se retrouve là, dans ces po(è)mmes. Pourtant, sans jamais cesser d'être des jeux de l'esprit, ceux-ci distillent un sentiment de désenchantement. Ils sont en effet marqués du sceau d'une dérive, physique (Dublin, Trieste, Zurich et Paris) et morale. Ils sont amers. Les pommes d'or du jardin des Hespérides réservent des surprises... "Tout un monde dans une coquille de noix." Au titr
Le poète et romancier irlandais James Joyce (1882-1941) a été l'ami d'Italo Svevo, d'Ezra Pound et de T.S. Eliot. Après des séjours en Italie et en Suisse, c'est à Paris qu'il se fixe en 1920. Il est notamment l'auteur d'Ulysse, "cathédrale de prose" censurée par les Anglo-saxons (1922) et de Finnegans Wake (1939).
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.
Dubliners is a collection of fifteen 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 a life-changing 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.
Texte intégral révisé suivi d'une biographie de James Joyce. Bref et admirable roman-poème d'amour, "Giacomo Joyce" a été inspiré à Joyce par la rencontre d'une jeune femme juive, Amalia Popper, son élève à l'école Berlitz de Trieste. Ces quelques feuillets énigmatiques relatant un moment de grâce romantique dans la vie de l'auteur d'"Ulysse" ont été gardés secrets toute sa vie. Extrait: "Jan Pieters Sweelinck. Le nom fantasque du vieux compositeur hollandais donne à toute beauté aura fantasque et lointaine. J'écoute ses variations pour clavicorde sur un air ancien: Jeunesse a une fin. Dans la brume indécise des notes anciennes une faible trace de lumière point: la parole de l'âme va se faire entendre. Jeunesse a une fin: cette fin la voici. Jamais elle n'aura lieu. Cela, tu le sais. Et après ? Écris-le, bon sang, écris-le ! de quoi d'autre es-tu capable ?"
`A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' is a coming-of-age novel by Irish author James Joyce, which follows the life and artistic development of young Stephen Dedalus. In it, Joyce explores life in Ireland at the time, as Stephen grows up and finds his way in the world. We follow as he attends college, battles with religion, engages in social and political intrigues, and suffers the embarrassments that come with adolescence, as the young poet struggles to find his direction in life. Semi-autobiographical, `A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' is a fascinating insight into life in 20th century Ireland, as well as into the development of Joyce the writer too.
James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist, poet and short story writer. Born in Dublin, Joyce attended University College Dublin, before moving to Europe with his wife Nora Barnacle. It was whilst living in Trieste that Joyce wrote and published his first book of poems and his short story collection `Dubliners'. During WWI Joyce was living in Zurich and it was here that he wrote perhaps his most famous work, `Ulysses'. One of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century, his other famous works include `A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' and `Finnegans Wake'. He died in Paris in 1941 at the age of 58.
« Joyce continuait à écrire des poèmes, par esprit d'enfance. En 1934, dans une lettre du Danemark où il se reposait et relisait les épreuves d'Ulysse, il en écrit un à Stephen, son petit-fils de quatre ans. « Imagine un chat restant au lit / toute la journée / à fumer des cigares ». Ces Chats de Copenhague avaient été précédé, quelques jours auparavant, par Le Chat et le Diable, conte où le diable construit un pont en une nuit face à la ville de Beaugency. Ça n'est pas mal, d'être le petit-fils de Joyce. On a des histoires originales pour soi tout seul. Et des histoires inattendues, pas des contes d'adultes destinées à inculquer l'Ordre dans la tête des enfants. Dans Les Chats de Copenhague, avec cette teinte d'anarchie qui est le goût des Irlandais, les policiers restent au lit à fumer des cigares. Ils leur ont été offerts par de vieilles dames voulant traverser la rue. Que sont devenues les vieilles dames ? Elles ne sont pas le sujet de Joyce. Dans ses fictions, il y a des hommes de tous les âges, mais les femmes y sont généralement jeunes ; au mieux des mères, jamais de grands-mères. »

"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A Künstlerroman in a modernist style, it traces the intellectual and religious philosophical 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. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in "Ulysses" and "Finnegans Wake".

James Joyce fu uno dei più importanti scrittori del XX secolo e la sua raccolta di storie "Gente di Dublino", pubblicata nel 1914, fornisce un quadro realistico di come era la vita in Irlanda all'inizio del 1900. Alcuni dei personaggi che compaiono in "Gente di Dublino" saranno familiari ai lettori dell'altro capolavoro di Joyce, l' "Ulisse".
"Gente di Dublino" è un'eccellente introduzione al lavoro di James Joyce, le cui altre opere sono stilisticamente e linguisticamente più complesse. Qui, la scrittura scorre e le storie sono facili da comprendere, senza perdere la voce magistrale dell'autore irlandese.
La raccolta comprende le seguenti 15 storie: "Le sorelle", "Un incontro", "Arabia", "Eveline", "Dopo la corsa", "I due galanti", "Pensione di famiglia", "Una piccola nube", "Rivalsa", "Polvere", "Un caso pietoso", "Il giorno dell'edera", "Una madre", "La grazia" e "I morti".

Though James Joyce earned his literary fame mostly through his short stories and novels, he also published several short books of poetry. In fact Chamber Music, a collection of thirtysix short love poems, was his first major independent publication.
The title of Chamber Music is said to have come from the sound of urine tinkling into a chamber pot-though this was actually a story made up by Joyce after the fact. As he grew older, he came to dislike the title, saying that it was too complacent. Though the story of the title's genesis suggests the poems are bawdy and raw, in fact they're each gentle and lyrical love poems, strictly rooted in the romantic tradition. Though the poems didn't sell well, they met with some critical acclaim from the likes of Ezra Pound and W. B. Yeats.
"Gas from a Burner" is a short broadside published by Joyce in 1912. He composed it as he was preparing to leave his home, Ireland, for the last time, before embarking on a new life of exile on the continent. Its targets are his publishers, who for almost a decade stalled the publication of his short story collection Dubliners. They frustrated him to to such an extent that he thought they were actively conspiring against him to prevent his controversial manuscript from ever seeing the light of day. "Gas from a Burner" crystallizes the rage he felt at that pious, hypocritical, and prudish establishment.

Stephen Dedalus è un artista, un intellettuale, un esteta, un rivoluzionario - ma non qui, o meglio, non ancora. È ancora troppo giovane. Studia, dai gesuiti, lontano dai genitori. Si sente chiuso, però, dalla realtà che lo circonda, dalla città di Dublino, un labirinto da cui non riesce a uscire, un labirinto dalle strade claustrofobiche e dai volti grigi e rigidi. Ma col tempo tutto arriverà; l'iniziazione, artistica e sessuale, spronerà il giovane Stephan a lasciarsi alle spalle la paralisi sociale e religiosa dell'Irlanda, a raggiungere le sue aspirazioni intellettuali ed estetiche.
Un romanzo dai tratti autobiografici, un classico senza tempo della letteratura mondiale, in grado di influenzare gran parte della narrativa che lo ha seguito.
James Joyce (1882-1941) è stato uno scrittore irlandese, tra i più famosi e importanti della letteratura mondiale. Tra i massimi esponenti del modernismo, con le sue opere ha indissolubilmente influenzato e modellato il modo di scrivere romanzi. Grande sperimentatore, tra le tecniche a lui maggiormente associate e apprezzate c'è sicuramente il flusso di coscienza, tipico principalmente dei suoi ultimi romanzi. Tra le sue opere più note ricordiamo Finnegans Wake, Dedalus: Ritratto dell'Artista da Giovane, Gente di Dublino e Ulisse.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is Joyce's first novel, published after the previous success of his short story collection Dubliners. The novel is written in a modernist style, with dialog and narration blending together in a kind of streamofconsciousness meant to invoke the blurriness of memory.
Joyce originally planned writing a realist autobiographical novel of 63 chapters titled Stephen Hero. He abandoned the attempt halfway through, and refocused his efforts on Portrait, a shorter, sharper work in the modernist style. His alterego remained Stephen Dedalus, named after Daedalus, the mythological Greek craftsman and father of Icarus. Portrait was written while he was waiting for Dubliners to be published, a process that took eight years and so frustrated Joyce that he once threw the manuscript of Portrait into a fire, causing his family to run to save it.
The novel closely traces Joyce's early years. Like his alterego Stephen, Joyce was born into a middleclass family and lived in Dublin as they descended into poverty; he rebelled against his Irish Catholic upbringing to become a star student at Dublin University, and put aside thoughts of priesthood or medicine, the other careers offered him, to become a writer. Joyce doesn't shy away from sensitive topics, presenting the discoveries of youth in all of their physical detail, including Stephen's teenage visits to prostitutes (which also mirror Joyce's youth, and were how he probably contracted the suspected syphilis that plagued his vision and tortured his health for the rest of his life), and the homosexual explorations of children at a Jesuit school.
The writing is in the free indirect style, allowing the narrator to both focus on Stephen and present characters and events through his eyes, until the last chapter, where Stephen's firstperson diary entries suggest he's finally found his voice. As the novel progresses, the syntax and vocabulary also grow in complexity, reflecting Stephen's own development.
Of Joyce's three novels, Portrait is the most straightforward and accessible. But it remains just as rich and complex as any masterpiece, with critics across generations hailing it as work of unique beauty and perception.
In questo dramma in tre atti nato dalla penna di James Joyce, le vicende del protagonista Richard e di sua moglie Bertha, rientrati in Irlanda dopo nove anni trascorsi in Italia, si intrecciano con quelle di un'altra coppia: Beatrice Justice, ex amante di Richard con cui negli anni ha continuato a tenere un'affiatata corrispondenza, e Robert Hand, cugino di Beatrice e vecchio compagno di bevute di Richard. Quando Richard, che si vanta di credere nei rapporti aperti e liberi, incoraggia Bertha a rispondere alle seducenti avances di Robert, Bertha ne esce inizialmente turbata, perché nel suo corpo e nella sua anima è da sempre devota al marito. Ma Richard può davvero essere indifferente fino in fondo? Come si comporterà Bertha, e quale sarà il posto di Robert tra marito e moglie? Le opinioni non ortodosse di Joyce sulla libertà delle relazioni umane giocano in questo dramma psicologico un tema chiave. E i temi di accompagnamento dell'amore, della passione, della gelosia, dell'isolamento e della separazione, che sono le conseguenze naturali di tutte le relazioni umane, sono il cuore pulsante della narrazione.
James Joyce (1882 - 1941) è stato uno scrittore, poeta e drammaturgo irlandese fra i più importanti della sua epoca, nonché pioniere del genere modernista nella letteratura europea. Soprattutto in relazione alla sperimentazione linguistica presente nelle sue opere, è ritenuto uno dei migliori scrittori del ventesimo secolo e della letteratura di ogni tempo. Durante la sua vita intraprese molti viaggi attraverso l'Europa, ma l'ambientazione delle sue opere, così saldamente legata a Dublino, lo fece diventare uno dei più cosmopoliti e allo stesso tempo più locali scrittori irlandesi. "Il ritratto dell'artista da giovane", "Ulisse" e "Gente di Dublino" sono soltanto alcune delle opere in cui si possono ritrovare le caratteristiche principali della sua produzione, tra cui l'ampia caratterizzazione psicologica dei personaggi e l'avanguardismo linguistico.
'Stefano eroe' è un romanzo di formazione di stampo autobiografico scritto da James Joyce. Pubblicato postumo, la vicenda editoriale dell'opera è tanto curiosa quanto travagliata. La vulgata vuole che, esasperato per i continui rifiuti degli editori, lo stesso Joyce abbia gettato nel fuoco il manoscritto originale, parzialmente messo in salvo dalla compagna Nora Barnacle. Il romanzo, giunto anni dopo ai lettori, riporta quindi soltanto una parte della storia originale di cui non ci resta che immaginare il continuo...

The final story in Joyce's `Dubliners' collection, `The Dead' tells the story of Gabriel Conroy and his wife, Gretta.
While at a Christmas party hosted by his aunts, Gretta tells the story of Michael Furey, who had wooed her in her youth. However, Michael died at the age of 17, leaving her heartbroken.
For Gabriel, this tale is something of a shocking revelation. Will he be able to reconcile himself to walking in Michael's shadow?
With one of the best closing lines in literary history, `The Dead' was adapted for film, starring Anjelica Houston and Colm Meaney.
Widely considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time, James Joyce (1882 - 1941) was born in Dublin. At the age of six, he was sent to the prestigious Clongowes Wood College, paid for by his wealthy father. However, Joyce's father succumbed to alcoholism and was unable to afford for his son to return there after the first year.
After educating himself at home, Joyce was eventually schooled at Belvedere College. After leaving University College Dublin in 1902, Joyce studied medicine in Paris. However, on hearing his mother was dying, he returned to Ireland. While there, he would read her passages from what was to be his first novel, `Stephen Hero.
Deux heures du matin, 16 juin 1904. Leopold Bloom, un peu ivre, vient s'écrouler dans le lit conjugal, après une journée de dérive dans Dublin. Ce même jour, dans ce même lit, sa femme Molly l'a trompé. Ne retrouvant pas le sommeil, Molly s'abandonne au flot débordant de ses pensées. S'entremêlent alors confidences et désirs érotiques. Elle songe à sa journée avec son amant Boylan, à son mari, à l'amour, à son corps, à sa beauté...
Dernier chapitre de l'immense roman de James Joyce, «Ulysse», «Molly Bloom» met en scène une parole féminine, puissante et libérée. Ce monologue est considéré par plusieurs comme l'une des plus extraordinaires incursions littéraires faites par un homme dans les jardins secrets de la féminité.
