James Joyce, página 7 de 24

In "Stephen Hero," James Joyce embarks on a semi-autobiographical exploration of the formative years of a young artist named Stephen Dedalus. This novel, written in Joyces characteristic stream-of-consciousness style, offers a rich tapestry of vivid imagery and intricate character development, delving into themes of identity, self-discovery, and the clash between individual aspiration and societal expectation. Although ultimately abandoned in favor of its more polished successor, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," this work presents an essential glimpse into the evolution of Joyces literary voice and his philosophical inquiries regarding art and existence. James Joyce, born in Dublin in 1882, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in a city fraught with political, cultural, and religious tensions. His upbringing in a Catholic environment and exposure to the complexities of Irish nationalism are evident throughout "Stephen Hero," revealing the forces that shaped his worldview and narrative style. Joyces innovative literary techniques, as seen in this early work, would continue to inform his later masterpieces and solidify his status as one of the preeminent authors of the 20th century. I highly recommend "Stephen Hero" to readers interested in the genesis of modernist literature and the intricate journey of self-actualization. Joyces ability to capture the nuances of thought and emotion invites readers to engage with the struggles of the artist, making it not only a compelling read but also a profound commentary on the nature of creativity and identity.

James Joyces "Finnegans Wake" and "Exiles" represent distinct yet intertwined facets of his literary genius, showcasing his experimental style and deep engagement with themes of identity, consciousness, and social dynamics. "Finnegans Wake," a dense, multilayered exploration of the human psyche and the cyclical nature of history, employs a stream-of-consciousness technique that challenges conventional narrative forms, immersing readers in a labyrinth of language and symbols. In contrast, "Exiles" offers a more straightforward, albeit poignant examination of emotional conflict and the intricacies of personal relationships, reflecting Joyces fascination with love, betrayal, and the intersection of public and private life, drawing upon elements of realism and modernism familiar to his contemporary literary context. James Joyce, an Irish odyssey himself, was profoundly influenced by the sociopolitical landscape of early 20th-century Europe as well as his own experiences with exile and identity. His relationships with notable figures and rich literary tradition fueled his writing, allowing him to merge philosophical inquiry with the exploration of the human condition. Joyces daring approach to narrative form and his innovative use of language in both works demonstrate his relentless pursuit of artistic expression and truth. Readers seeking a transformative literary experience will find both "Finnegans Wake" and "Exiles" essential to understanding the evolution of modernist literature. Joyces ability to blend the complexities of human emotion with groundbreaking narrative techniques invites readers into a rich tapestry of thought and feeling, making these works not only challenging but profoundly rewarding.

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.

Tres textos de James Joyce poco transitados por lectores de habla española, que dan una idea de lo que llegaría a escribir. La sinceridad (autobiográfica, estética) y la complejidad expresiva se entrelazan. A distintos niveles y por diferentes vias, prefiguran los exquisitos poemas de Musica de camara; las descarnadas viñetas narrativas de Dublineses; el descubrimiento del mundo (acercamientos personales a la literatura, la filosofia, el arte y el sexo) en Retrato del artista adolescente; la exposicion de grietas maritales y deseos sicalipticos en Exiliados; la radiante aparicion de las multiples formas de escritura de Ulises; y la creacion de un nuevo lenguaje que aparecio (sin epigonos posibles) en un texto: Finnegans Wake.

Stephen Dedalus studia, lontano dai genitori, presso i gesuiti. Quando, ormai adolescente, passa a un altro collegio, vive le prime esperienze sessuali in un bordello di Dublino. Ma in un ritiro spirituale decide di indirizzarsi a una nuova spiritualita. Presto pero si sente insoddisfatto e quando inizia l'universita avverte nuove esigenze estetiche; capisce cosi di doversi svincolare dalla famiglia e dalle istituzioni religiose e politiche. Stephen Dedalus si dispone, novello Dedalo, a lasciare l'Irlanda, il suo "labirinto".

Será la primera vez que se publica esta novela ilustrada por un gran artista. Esta edición de Ulises, traducida por José Salas Subirat, cuenta con 134 ilustraciones a color y casi 200 en blanco y negro de Eduardo Arroyo. Su publicacion coincidira con el centenario de la primera edicion en Paris.

James Joyce's first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a Kunstlerroman which chronicles the emotional and intellectual development of Stephen Dedalus - a character partly based on the author himself - from his early childhood and his school and university days all the way to his first forays as a young artist. Dedalus's thoughts and epiphanies reveal the tensions, insecurities and feelings of guilt that are the product of living in a country and period so deeply divided along religious and political lines. Pioneering an innovative stream-of-consciousness technique characteristic of early Modernism, and often resorting to mythical, historical and literary allusion which would find fuller expression in Ulysses, Joyce's groundbreaking work shocked the readers of its day and continues to challenge analysis and interpretation.

James Joyce, irlandés (1882 - 1941), es uno de los más importantes escritores del siglo XX y, sin duda, el más importante renovador de las letras de nuestro siglo. Aunque más conocido por su novela Ulises, su obra poetica tambien ha merecido los elogios de los mas exigentes criticos y esta reconocida como una de las cumbres de la poesia inglesa.
