«A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man» is James Joyce's classic novel, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (384 pages, in English).
Stephen Dedalus grows up in Dublin at the turn of the twentieth century, caught between religious education and the weight of family, faith and Irish nationalism. His intellectual and emotional awakening and his distancing from that world lead him to seek his identity through art. It is a key work of modernism and a self-portrait of the young James Joyce.
This edition, published in 1992 in Penguin's Twentieth Century Classics series, includes an introduction and notes by Seamus Deane.
A reference read for those approaching Irish literature and the classics of modernism in the English language.
James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist, poet, and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist movement and is regarded among the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, particularly stream of consciousness. His other well-known works include the short-story collection Dubliners (1914) and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include two books of poetry, a play, correspondence, and occasional journalism.
