El proyecto literario de James Joyce (1882-1941) se cuenta entre los más complejos y arriesgados del pasado siglo. Partiendo de un acuciado interés por la sociedad humana, renovó el lenguaje narrativo en busca de las herramientas que le permitiesen retratar la vasta red de relaciones materiales y simbolicas que la constituyen, y en la que el individuo anonimo debe desenvolverse en busca de su propia identidad. En su primera obra, "Dublineses", Joyce despliega ya un mapa de su pensamiento literario. A lo largo de sus quince relatos, se nos presenta la Dublin de principios del siglo XX a partir de algunos de sus ciudadanos de a pie, a los que se confiere, en su ajetreo diario, una significacion heroica. Asi, y con un afan tan localista como totalizador, el autor plasma en detalle la imagen de su ciudad natal, que se ve convertida, metonimicamente, en una representacion del mundo urbano de su tiempo.El proyecto literario de James Joyce (1882-1941) se cuenta entre los más complejos y arriesgados del pasado siglo.

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.

This work includes excerpts from "A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man", "Dubliners" and "Exiles", and shorter extracts from his other works.

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.
