Joyceren lehen maisu-lana da Dublindarrak. Ez da ipuin-bilduma soila, hamabost ipuin soltez osatua; batasuna duen liburua baizik. Ipuinak ez dira hiriko estanpa edo hiritarren karikatura batzuk: azaleko itxuraren atzean karga osagarri eta aberasgarri da. Batek beste baten oihartzun egiten du. Hasieratik amaieraraino irakurri eta gero, nabarmen ageri dira liburuaren osotasuna eta zatiek elkarrekin duten harremana. Ordena kronologiko bat ere jarraitzen dute kontakizunek: haurtzaroko istorioak, nerabezarokoak, helduarokoak eta Dublingo bizitza publikokoak. Dublindarrak liburuan dago Hiria, kontakizunen euskarri eta magal, bere izen propio eta guzti. Eta, hirian, hiritarrak, horiek ere beren izen propioekin. Gizarte oso bat. Hain zuzen ere, Joycek salatu nahi zuen gizarte indargabetu, paralizatu eta ohiturei lotu huraxe. Joycek jende arrunt horren egunerokotasunaren akta jasotzen du ahalik eta objektibotasun handienaz, berak ikusten duen bezala, eta haien jokabidearen juzkurik egin gabe.

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.

Booze, Sex and Hot Floury Potatoes Those Dubliners are at it again! Liars, thieves, whores and priests James Joyce sure knew how to throw a party! This relentlessly downbeat collection explores the very worst aspects of human nature, and doesnt leave out the juicy bits. It might not be in the best possible taste, but who doesnt want to get down and dirty in Dublin?

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

This portrayal of Stephen Dedalus' 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'.

First published in 1916, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" is James Joyces first novel and a milestone of modern literary history. It is the origin of many of the post-modern techniques he refined in later works such as "Finnegans Wake" and "Ulysses".The novel describes the emotional and mental development of the main protagonist, Stephen Dedalus, from childhood to independent artist. Stephen grows up in the deeply nationalistic and religious culture of Ireland. During his time at Jesuit schools and university, he struggles to find his own identity and break free of the culture of his childhood. He eventually leaves the church, university, his parents and his country in order to find his true self.The novel is strongly autobiographical, Stephens development and experiences are, to a large extent, similar to Joyces own. On the other hand, the style develops in line with the character. While, initially, the language is childish and naive, it changes to increasingly academic and intellectual the older Stephen gets.

James Joyces final and experimental novel "Finnegans Wake" is considered a revolutionary masterpiece. First published in 1939, this comic novel is a classic of modern Irish literature. Written over the course of nearly two decades, Joyce attempted to create a nocturnal, dreamlike state. The dreams relive major conflicts from both history and mythology. "Finnegans Wake" is considered one of the most difficult works of fiction written in English."Finnegans Wake" is a complex novel that blends the reality of life with a dream world. The motive idea of the novel, inspired by the 18th-century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico, is that history is cyclical. To demonstrate this, the book ends with the first half of the first sentence of the novel. Thus, the last line is actually part of the first line, and the first line a part of the last line. The plot itself is difficult to follow, as the novel explores a number of fractured story lines. The main tension, however, comes from the juxtaposition of reality and dream, which is achieved through changing characters and settings. During the day, Mr. and Mrs. Porter live above their pub in Chapelizod, a suburb of Dublin. They live a normal, boring life. They are the parents of twin boys named Kevin and Jerry. They also have a daughter named Isabel, nicknamed Issy.The characters names and the setting change when Mr. and Mrs. Porter enter their dreamworld. Their fantastical dream life sharply contrasts with their banal daytime existence. The land of dreams starts in the upstairs bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Porters home in Chapelizod.In the dreams, the family becomes the Earwicker family and takes on many different names...

THERE was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke. Night after night I had passed the house (it was vacation time) and studied the lighted square of window: and night after night I had found it lighted in the same way, faintly and evenly. If he was dead, I thought, I would see the reflection of candles on the darkened blind for I knew that two candles must be set at the head of a corpse. He had often said to me: "I am not long for this world," and I had thought his words idle. Now I knew they were true.
