James Joyce, página 8 de 23

Esta obra de arte refleja la vida en Irlanda a comienzos del siglo pasado y, al rechazar el eufemismo, revela a los irlandeses sus realidades poco románticas. Cada una de las 15 historias ofrece vislumbres de la vida de los dublineses comunes, y colectivamente pintan un retrato de una nacion.

In "Finnegans Wake," James Joyce embarks on an audacious journey through the labyrinth of human consciousness, employing a groundbreaking literary style characterized by its polyphonic structure, fragmented narrative, and linguistic innovation. The book eschews linear storytelling, instead weaving a tapestry of dreams, myths, and historical references, thus capturing the cyclical nature of time and identity. In contrast, "Exiles" presents a more conventional narrative, exploring themes of jealousy, fidelity, and the complexities of love within the framework of modernity, placing JoyceAos characters in a crucible of moral and emotional dilemmas. Together, these works exemplify Joyces penchant for deep psychological exploration, reflecting the revolutionary artistic movements of the early 20th century. James Joyce, an iconic figure in modernist literature, was profoundly influenced by his experiences navigating the turbulent sociopolitical landscape of Ireland, as well as by his fascination with myth and language. "Finnegans Wake" required nearly two decades of meticulous work, culminating in a complex and richly intertextual masterpiece that merges personal history with universal archetypes. "Exiles," though written earlier, showcases JoyceAos evolving narrative techniques and provides insight into his own tumultuous relationships, setting the stage for his later innovations. These works are essential reading for anyone wishing to grasp the heights of literary experimentation and the intricacies of the human psyche. Joyces ability to traverse language and thought invites readers to engage in an immersive experience that challenges conventional narratives. Both "Finnegans Wake" and "Exiles" serve not only as significant contributions to modernist literature but also as timeless explorations of the human condition.

Published in 1914, the original printers destroyed the book on the grounds that it was libellous, indecent and blasphemous. It is a collection of short stories about Dublin life - tales of ordinary men and women made extraordinary by the eye of Joyce's genius.

Los muertos es un encantador y detallado retrato del Dublín burgués de finales de siglo. Y es también la suma de temas tratados en Dublineses que se entrelazan y repiten aquí en variaciones cada vez mas sutiles hasta esa languida apoteosis final en que el protagonista, Gabriel Conroy, turbado por la confesion de su esposa sobre su primer y fallecido amor, se marcha pisando una Irlanda aislada por la nieve, en la que los copos caen por igual sobre los vivos y los muertos.

Finnegans Wake is a novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is significant for its experimental style and reputation as one of the most difficult works of fiction in the English language. Written in Paris over a period of seventeen years, and published in 1939, two years before the authors death, Finnegans Wake was Joyces final work. The entire book is written in a largely idiosyncratic language, consisting of a mixture of standard English lexical items and neologistic multilingual puns and portmanteau words, which many critics believe were attempts to recreate the experience of sleep and dreams.[3] Owing to the works expansive linguistic experiments, stream of consciousness writing style, literary allusions, free dream associations, and abandonment of narrative conventions, Finnegans Wake remains largely unread by the general public.

La obra monumental de James Joyce. Ulises es el relato de un día en la vida de 3 personajes: Leopold Bloom, su mujer Molly y el joven Stephen Dedalus. Un viaje de un día, una Odisea inversa, en la que los temas topicamente homericos se invierten y subvierten a traves de un grupo decididamente antiheroico cuya tragedia raya la comicidad. Relato parodico de la epica de la condicion humana y de Dublin y sus buenas costumbres cuya estructura, desbordantemente vanguardista, avisa a cada rato de su dificultad y exige la maxima dedicacion. Ulises es un libro altisonante, soez y erudito donde los haya que ofrece una literatura distinta, extraña, ocasinalmente molesta y sin duda excepcional.

Música de Cámara (Chamber music) es un poemario de juventud del escritor irlandés James Joyce. Escrito en los primeros años del siglo xx, tiene influencias de Shakespeare y de los poetas románticos ingleses, como Byron, Shelley o Coleridge. En Musica de Camara es donde Joyce comienza a utilizar con minuciosidad las figuras retoricas que le caracterizan y con las que va componiendo el lenguaje de su poesia como la aliteracion, la sinestesia, la polisemia y las leyes de la lirica, aunque buscando siempre ese vocablo que consiga llevar un sonido musical a sus poemas. El libro consta de treinta y seis poemas, los primeros escritos en Dublin y los ultimos en Paris. El poemario esta editado en su version original en ingles ?paginas pares? y en la nueva version que ha traducido al castellano Pilar Garcia Orgaz (paginas impares). Cuenta ademas con un prologo de la poeta Esther Peñas Domingo. Esta obra ha recibido una ayuda a la edicion del Ministerio de Cultura.
