Dubliners is a wonderfully engaging and accessible collection of stories by James Joyce, an author famed for being difficult to read. It contains fifteen stories, among them The Dead, made into a memorable film by John Huston. This beautiful new edition, with an introduction by John Boyne, was chosen as the One Book, One City title for Dublin in 2012.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man represents the transitional stage between the realism of Joyces Dubliners and the symbolism of Ulysses and is essential to the understanding of the later work.The novel is a highly autobiographical account of the adolescence and youth of Stephen Dedalus, who reappears in Ulysses, and who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics and essential bigotry of his background in late 19th century Ireland.

James Joyce is his own best interlocutor: My intention was to write a chapter of the moral history of my country and I chose Dublin for the scene because that city seemed to me the centre of paralysis. I have tried to present it to the indifferent public under four of its aspects: childhood, adolescence, maturity and public life. The stories are arranged in this order. I have written it for the most part in a style of scrupulous meanness and with the conviction that he is a very bold man who dares to alter in the presentment, still more to deform, whatever he has seen and heard. It is not my fault that the odour of ashpits and old weeds and offal hangs round my stories. I seriously believe that you will retard the course of civilisation in Ireland by preventing the Irish people from having one good look at themselves in my nicely polished looking glass. Dubliners, one of the great short-story collections in the English language, was first published in London on 15 June 1914 by Grant Richards, who had rejected the original set of twelve stories in September 1906; in the interim, according to Joyce, it was turned down by forty publishers. This consummate book, illustrated by the artist Louis le Brocquy, was published privately by The Dolmen Press in 1986. It is now being made widely available for the first time, the text deriving from Robert Scholes 1967 edition, which restored Joyces original punctuation and corrections. Le Brocquys drawings, hieroglyphic shadows thrown by the text, are haunting accompaniments to these fifteen stories or incidents in the life of a city, in Joyces first major prose work. With this handsome edition, Dubliners returns fittingly to its source.

“Ulises es la más difícil de las novelas entretenidas, y la más entretenida de las novelas difíciles. Leerla no es suficiente; hay que hacerlo con especial atención, y volver a leerla.” Richard Ellma

“Cualesquiera sean los elementos que se reúnan, tienen la exactitud de un sueño en donde todas las cosas que alguna vez supimos o experimentamos ocurren no en su secuencia temporal sino de acuerdo co

En estos poemas, como en otras obras de Joyce, el idioma se usa como medio de sátira, de destrucción por la burla; así Gas from a Burner, que literalmente quiere decir Gas de un Mechero, puede significar fanfarronada, dando su origen a una frese idiomatica que, sin embargo, y tal vez por la poca difusion que estos poemas han tenido, no ha obtenido la aprobacion popular, Joyce, conocedor hasta la medula del idioma ingles, gusta de crear nuevas frases o idiomas y de deshacer otras, ya establecidas, creando la confusion en el lector y la ambivalencia de sentido que todas las frases hechas poeseen, exigiendo de aquel un analisis logico del significado ultimo de las mismas; de aqui que traducir a Joyce sea muy dificil o muy facil, motivo principal por el cual se ha optado por hacer la edicion bilingue de sus poemas, para que el lector pueda juzgar por si mismo.

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.

First published in 1914, Dubliners was Irish novelist James Joyces first short story collection. The collection explores middle-class life in Ireland in the 20th century and the search for a national identity. Stories in the collection include that of a stereotypical Irish family in Counterparts, the virtues and stubbornness of the Irish mother figure in Mother and a powerful exploration of life and death in The Dead. A classic collection from one of the most influential and important writers of the century.

On 16 June 1904 Leopold Bloom wanders the streets of Dublin aimlessly as his wife Molly stays at home sleeping with other men.Having been made an involuntary cuckold, Leopold Bloom lets the soles of his shoes wear out on the pavements between the taverns in which his humiliation is acute, and hides in one memory after another as they haunt him in Dublins wet fog.Leopold Bloom is the Odyssey of the 20th century, but unlike Homers ancient warrior hero, Bloom is a modern anti-hero that you cant help feeling for.Ulysses has been turned into a film called The Ulysses Project which was filmed entirely during the Covid-19 lockdown. Stars include Aidan Gillen, John Turturro and Patrick Bergin.

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 the twentieth-century. From the unsettling adventure of two truant school-boys to the crafty schemes of two con-men, from a young woman's refusal to abandon Ireland and elope with a sailor to a man's moment of clarity during an annual dance party, these stories offer a moving portrait of an entire world and era which has all but disappeared.
