Retrato do artista quando jovem é o primeiro romance de James Joyce. Com fortes traços autobiográficos, o livro conta a história de Stephen Dedalus e seu processo de amadurecimento artístico e intelectual. Determinado a tornar-se um poeta, o jovem precisa primeiro vencer as forças que reprimem sua imaginaço: as convençes da Igreja Catolica, da escola e da sociedade irlandesa. Publicada pela primeira vez em 1916, a obra ja apresentava caracteristicas marcantes do estilo inventivo de Joyce, como o uso do monologo interior e a grande preocupaço com o psiquico, que o consagraram como um dos maiores escritores do seculo XX."Acreditamos em Stephen Dedalus como em poucos personagens da ficço." - H. G. Wells

Ulysses (1922) is a novel by the Irish author James Joyce. It was first serialised in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, in Paris. Joyces technical innovations in the art of the novel... he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions. One of the most important works of Modernist literature, it has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking."Written over a seven-year period from 1914 to 1921.No book has ever been more eagerly and curiously awaited by the strange little inner circle of book-lovers and litterateurs than James Joyces "Ulysses".

Ulysses, one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, has had a profound influence on modern fiction. In a series of episodes covering the course of a single day, 16 June 1904, the novel traces the movements of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets of Dublin. Each episode has its own literary style, and the epic journey of Odysseus is only one of many correspondencies that add layers of meaning to the text. Ulysses has been the subject of controversy since copies of the first English edition were burned by the New York Post Office Authorities. Today critical interest centres on the authority of the text, and this edition, complete with an invaluable Introduction, notes, and appendices, republishes for the first time, without interference, the original 1922 text. ''one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century ... this edition, complete with an invaluable Introduction, map of Dublin, notes, and appendices, republishes for the first time, without interference, the original 1922 text.'' In Dublin ''After more than seventy years of editorial corrections, specialists will buy the ''uncorrected'' edition for its accuracy. Others should choose it as much for Johnson''s excellent introduction and notes.'' Tim Kendall. Hertford College, Oxford. Notes and Queries `For anyone coming to this 20th century classic for the first time, this paperback version could well make the going a little easier.'' Lancashire Evening Post (Preston) `Already got a copy of Ulysses. Well, chuck it out and get this ... this is the one, a reproduction of the original 1922 Shakespeare and Co edition ... has extensive notes at the back to explain references and correct gaffes ... Also astonishingly cheap.'' Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian `now the cheapest annotated paperback available and comes with a splendid introduction from Jeri Johnson, a map of contemporary Dublin, and a comprehensive set of explanatory notes ... As such, it should appeal both to those who are familiar with Joyce''s book, and those who are approaching it for the first time.'' Yorkshire Post (Leeds) `hilarious, poignant, exhilarating ... The excellent guide, editor Jeri Johnson, refuses to allow short cuts for first-time travellers ... The detailed notes are usef

L’Ulisses constitueix el gran repte de tot amant de la literatura. Alguns se l’han llegit, d’altres se l’han llegit i n’han gaudit, i un tercer grup, potser el més nombrós, s’ha rendit al cap d’unes

Dedalus - Ritratto dellartista da giovane (A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man) e uscito nel 1916 dopo essere apparso a puntate su una rivista tra il 1914 e il 1915. Si tratta di un romanzo autobiografico, un vero e proprio specchio dello stesso Joyce. Allinterno dello specchio, pero, compare il ben noto protagonista Stephen Dedalus (col chiaro riferimento al Dedalo della mitologia greca) e lintera sua vita formativa, dallinfanzia alleta matura. Lartista vive un risveglio intellettuale, filosofico e religioso e con esso una ribellione contro le convenzioni irlandesi e cattoliche; compie un percorso di fallimenti e successi, per quanto legati alla vita artistica coi suoi drammi interiori e le sue epifanie, affrontando nel suo sviluppo alcuni temi universali. Un capolavoro della letteratura che anticipa i grandi romanzi sperimentali di James Joyce.

First published in 1914, Dubliners depicts middle-class Catholic life in Dublin at the start of the twentieth century. Themes within the stories include the disappointments of childhood, the frustrations of adolescence, and the importance of sexual awakening. Joyce was twenty-five years old when he wrote this collection of short stories, among which 'The Dead' is probably the most famous. Considered at the time as a literary experiment, Dubliners contains moments of joy, fear, grief, love and loss, which combine to form one of the most complete depictions of a city ever written, and the stories remain as refreshingly original and surprising in this century as they did in the last. With an afterword by Peter Harness. Designed to appeal to the booklover, Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound hardback gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

QUESTO LIBRO E A LAYOUT FISSOConsiderato uno dei capolavori della letteratura del Novecento, Gente di Dublino, pubblicato nel 1914, consiste in un mosaico di racconti, in cui si rispecchiano le tappe fondamentali della vita umana: linfanzia, ladolescenza, la maturita, la vita pubblica, la morte.Quindici storie immerse nella cornice della magica capitale irlandese, Dublino, con le sue birrerie piene di fumo, il vento freddo, la foschia dei suoi paesaggi, i suoi eccentrici abitanti. Una spietata e nichilista radiografia di una citta e di coloro che si muovono al suo interno, rivelati in tutta la loro comica tragicita; un mondo sospeso tra umiliazioni e ignavia, tra inquietudini e ossessioni.James Joyce (1882-1941) e considerato uno dei piu grandi autori di narrativa del XX secolo. Tra le sue opere: Dedalus (1916); Gli esiliati(1918) e Ulisse (1922).
