James Joyce war ein irischer Romanautor, der für seinen experimentellen Sprachgebrauch bekannt ist. Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch ausführliche innere Monologe und ein komplexes Netz symbolischer Parallelen aus Mythologie, Geschichte und Literatur aus. Joyce schuf eine einzigartige sprachliche Form, indem er Neologismen, Wortspiele und Anspielungen verwendete, um die Grenzen der modernen Prosa zu erweitern. Seine technischen Innovationen in der Romanliteratur prägten maßgeblich die Entwicklung der Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts.
"Ulysses" von James Joyce ist ein bahnbrechendes Werk, das einen Tag im Leben von Leopold Bloom in Dublin am 16. Juni 1904 darstellt. Joyce nutzt komplexe Prosa und verschiedene Erzählstile, um die Gedanken und Erinnerungen seiner Charaktere zu erkunden. Das Buch behandelt universelle Themen wie Liebe, Tod und Identität und bleibt eine Herausforderung sowie eine Inspirationsquelle für Leser.

Der 2. Februar 1922 hat Literaturgeschichte geschrieben: An diesem Tag, dem 40. Geburtstag von James Joyce, erschien in einer Auflage von 1 000 nummerierten Exemplaren die Erstausgabe des Ulysses, verlegt durch Sylvia Beach, Besitzerin der Buchhandlung Shakespeare and Company, in Paris. Die Publikation des Romans war ein Skandalon: als blasphemisches und pornografisches Machwerk verdammt, wurde es bald in mehreren Ländern zensiert oder verboten. Dies hat den epochalen Erfolg des Ulysses nicht aufhalten können: Längst gilt es als einer der einflussreichsten Romane der Moderne, als ein Jahrhundertwerk. Und es ist ein Buch, das man wieder und immer wieder lesen kann und das mit jedem neuen Lesen weitere Geheimnisse preisgibt. Wer es noch nie gelesen hat oder es wiederlesen möchte, hat nun die Wahl: Anlässlich des 100. Jahrestags seiner ersten Publikation wird der Ulysses in vier schön gestalteten Ausgaben mit jeweils verschiedenfarbiger Prägung vorgelegt – zum Verschenken und Sich-selber-schenken.

A beautiful and accessible introduction to the writings of James Joyce. Short, entertaining quotes from his major works: Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, with more from his poetry & letters, and some family anecdotes handed down to grand-nephew Bob Joyce.
De doden is een lang verhaal van de Ierse schrijver James Joyce, geschreven in 1906 - 1907 en verschenen in de verhalenbundel “Dubliners” in 1914. Het is het laatste verhaal uit de bundel en maakt deel uit van de categorie "Openbaar leven". De meest recente Nederlandse vertaling is van Erik Bindervoet en Robbert-Jan Henkes en dateert uit 2016.
»Finn’s Hotel«, so hieß das Hotel, in dem Nora Barnacle, die spätere Ehefrau von James Joyce, als Zimmermädchen arbeitete. Ganz am Anfang der Überlegungen, aus denen »Finnegans Wake« hervorgehen sollte, fragte sich Joyce: Wie wäre es, wenn man Irlands Vergangenheit in den Träumen des am Ufer der Liffey schlafenden mythischen Helden Finn McCool Revue passieren ließe? Das Buch »Finn’s Hotel« besteht aus einer Folge von Fabeln, kurzen, prägnanten Prosatexten zu den entscheidenden Momenten der irischen Geschichte, beginnend mit der Ankunft St. Patricks auf der Grünen Insel im Jahr 432: des Heiligen, der Irland bekehrt? Nein, Irland bekehrt ihn – zu allem, was irisch ist. Joyce schrieb die zehn Episoden 1923, ein halbes Jahr, nachdem er sich vom »Ulysses« befreit und lange bevor er einen genaueren Plan für »Finnegans Wake« gefasst hatte. Danis Rose suchte die im Nachlaß der »Finnegans Wake«-Papiere verstreuten Geschichten zusammen. Er begründete ihre Einheit und Eigenständigkeit. 2013 erschien Finn’s Hotel: ein neues, unbekanntes, erstaunliches Werk von James Joyce.»
La verde e tormentata terra d’Irlanda è patria di alcuni dei più importanti scrittori della letteratura. Jonathan Swift, con la sua ironia sferzante, descrive nei Viaggi di Gulliver le assurdità dell’Europa settecentesca attraverso le immaginarie popolazioni di Lilliput e Brobdingnag. Sterne, con il suo Viaggio sentimentale, rompe le regole della narrativa tradizionale, concentrandosi sulle sensazioni interiori piuttosto che su paesaggi e personaggi. Con Le Fanu, entriamo nel filone ottocentesco che esplora gli aspetti più oscuri dell’esperienza umana, dando vita a capolavori del terrore come Carmilla e Dracula. Oscar Wilde, poeta geniale e sfortunato, narra la storia di Dorian Gray, un mostro dalla giovinezza sospetta. Al contrario, Yeats ci offre un mondo incantato, popolato da elfi e fantasmi, presentando una panoramica del folclore irlandese. Infine, James Joyce, con il suo capolavoro Ulisse, ha avuto un ruolo cruciale nella nascita della letteratura moderna. Attraverso il realismo minuzioso delle quindici storie di Gente di Dublino, Joyce ha elevato il racconto breve a un nuovo livello artistico, rendendolo il genere letterario più moderno.
Zur Zeit von James Joyce waren mit Süßigkeiten gefüllte Katzen in Irland ein beliebtes Geschenk. Als er das aus Kopenhagen nicht mitbringen konnte, schrieb er einen fantasiesprühenden Brief an seinen vierjährigen Enkel. Darin behauptete er, in Dänemark gebe es keine einzige Katze, dafür aber Fische, Fahrräder und freundliche Polizisten. Die lägen den ganzen Tag im Bett, rauchten Zigarren und tränken Buttermilch. Die Welturausgabe von “The Cats of Copenhagen“ erschien 2012. Harry Rowohlt hat aus dem Fund einen fabelhaften deutschen Text gemacht. Wolf Erlbruchs hinreißende Illustrationen verwandeln ihn in ein Glanzstück.

Menschen am Rande der Gesellschaft Die ›Dublin Stories‹ gelten als Türöffner zum Werk von James Joyce, einem der sprachgewaltigsten Dichter der Moderne.

Jahrhunderts. Und wo es nicht ganz leichtfällt, die kraftvolle und unverwechselbare Sprache des Originals zu verstehen, hilft die deutsche Übersetzung weiter. dtv zweisprachig – Die Vielfalt der Sprachen auf einen Blick Die Reihe umfasst drei Sprach-Niveaus – Einsteiger, Fortgeschrittene und Könner – und mittlerweile über 130 Titel in vielen Sprachen.

The book features three significant poems by James Joyce: "Chamber Music," "Pomes Penyeach," and "Ecce Puer." Joyce, a pivotal figure in modernist literature, is renowned for his innovative narrative techniques, particularly in "Ulysses." "Chamber Music," his first poetry collection, consists of 36 lyrical pieces exploring themes of love and life. "Ecce Puer," written to commemorate personal milestones, showcases Joyce's emotional depth. This reprint preserves the original 1957 edition, highlighting Joyce's contributions to both poetry and modern literature.
Includes James Joyce's three novels, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. It also includes the short story collection, Dubliners.
Nel 2011 ricorre il settantesimo anniversario della morte di James Joyce, ma per i lettori e gli scrittori di tutto il mondo l’autore dell’ Ulisse e di Gente di Dublino è più vivo che mai, come dimostra il successo del Bloomsday, la commemorazione che, da più di mezzo secolo a questa parte, il 16 giugno di ogni anno vede svolgersi eventi in suo onore in centinaia di città. Minimum fax ha scelto a sua volta di rendere omaggio a Joyce con una raccolta di citazioni, per la curatela di Federico Sabatini, che, spaziando dalla narrativa ai saggi alle lettere, offrono per la prima volta una panoramica completa e accessibile del suo pensiero sull’arte di scrivere: riflessioni sul processo creativo, sulle tecniche di narrazione, sul mercato editoriale, sul ruolo dello scrittore, nonché preziose osservazioni critiche sulla propria opera e quella altrui. Molto più agile da consultare rispetto a un manuale accademico, ma altrettanto ricco nei contenuti, Scrivere pericolosamente è un libro adatto al pubblico degli studenti e degli studiosi così come a quello dei semplici appassionati di letteratura e scrittura: ed è il perfetto complemento saggistico alle opere narrative di un grande classico del Novecento.

Joyce ging es darum, »die perfektesten Liebeslieder unserer Zeit« zu schreiben, was in seinen Augen nur möglich war, solange er nicht wirklich verliebt war, sondern dichtend eine ideale, überwirkliche Liebe besingen konnte.
"The Dead" is the final and longest story in the "Dubliners", a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce. First published in 1904, the stories aim to capture Irish middle class life as it really was around Dublin at the turn-of-the-century. Like many of Joyce's tales in the collection, "The Dead" features a transformative epiphany, where a character experiences a sudden insight into their life that changes the way they see everything. In what many consider one of Joyce's most nuanced and well-written works, the story centers around Gabriel Conroy, his evening attending a Christmas dinner party hosted by his elderly aunts, and the experiences of his wife and various friends. In his signature style, Joyce delves deeply into the inner lives of his characters and the subtle details of their evening together in order to transform a seemingly mundane dinner party into a profound examination of the fleeting nature of life, love, happiness, and regret. At the end of the evening, Gabriel is surprised to learn that even the people he believed he knew well are capable of unseen depths of emotion and hidden experiences. "The Dead" withstands the test of time as one of Joyce's most thought-provoking and emotionally powerful works. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is one of the twentieth century s great coming-of-age novels. "

\"Einer der grossten Schriftsteller nicht nur unserer Zeit, sondern aller europaischer Literatur.\" -- T. S. Eliot
The only extant play by the great Irish novelist, this work is notable for its autobiographical elements and formal qualities. The main character, Richard Rowan, a tormented writer at odds with his wife and Irish society, serves as a reflection of Joyce himself. Rowan's wife, Bertha, draws influence from Joyce's lover and later wife, Nora Barnacle, with whom he lived a nomadic life across Europe. The play mirrors Joyce's own experiences, including his return to Ireland due to his mother's illness and death. Rowan's flawed pursuit of individual freedom, despite the constraints of Irish morals, hints at Joyce's interest in Nietzsche. Wrestling with guilt over infidelities, Rowan advocates for personal liberty for himself and his wife, who faces temptation from his cousin. Joyce's choice to write a play reflects his admiration for Henrik Ibsen, evident in the tense dialogue and the focus on character relationships, guilt, and the longing for freedom. The understated writing style contrasts with Joyce's exuberant language in his novels, showcasing Ibsen's influence. Ultimately, the play explores the conflict between individual freedom and societal judgment, as the protagonists grapple with the choice of defying rigid conventions or seeking exile. Though lesser-known, this work, written between two of Joyce's major novels, offers valuable insights into the evolution of a literary genius.
This 3-act play was first published in 1918; and like much of Joyce's other works, it is an imaginative reconstruction of his own life. In it, Richard Rowan, an Irish writer who has spent much time abroad, feels estranged from Irish society when he returns to Dublin.
Après la publication en 1907 de poésies de jeunesse, James Joyce publie en 1914 un recueil de nouvelles commencé dès 1902. Il s'agit de Dublinois. Quelle surprise pour les lecteurs de découvrir ces quinze nouvelles, si sages, si classiques, si claires. Dans ce livre, Joyce décrit, avec un sens profond de l'observation, les mœurs de la bourgeoisie irlandaise, l'atmosphère trouble et le destin tragique de la société de l'époque. Les thèmes favoris de Joyce, l'enfance, l'adolescence, la maturité, la vie publique sont ici incarnés par divers types d'habitants de Dublin, «ce cher et malpropre Dublin» que Joyce aimait tant. --back cover
In "Dubliners", completed when Joyce was only 25, the author produced a definitive group portrait. The book is rooted in an accurate apprehension of the detail of Dublin life. The author also wrote "Ulysses" and "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man".
The collection features thirty-six love poems that explore themes of intimacy and longing, crafted with Joyce's signature lyrical style. Initially titled by his brother, Joyce later expressed dissatisfaction with "Chamber Music," seeking a title that would better reflect the work's depth. Despite its earthy connotations, the poetry is not crude but rather celebrated for its emotional resonance. Though it faced slow sales, critical reception was positive, highlighting Joyce's emerging voice in early 20th-century literature.
Edizione integrale
Il Ritratto dell’artista da giovane è la storia di una mente creativa: un’educazione intellettuale, insomma, piuttosto che sentimentale. Attingendo ampiamente alla propria biografia, Joyce racconta, in uno stile mirabile per inventiva e fantasia, la formazione della personalità del giovane protagonista Stephen Dedalus, il suo alter ego, dall’infanzia nel collegio gesuita alla scoperta della vocazione per l’Arte. Sembra proprio che parli Joyce per bocca di Dedalus, quando dice: «Tenterò di esprimere me stesso in qualche modo di vita o di arte, quanto più potrò liberamente e integralmente, adoperando per difendermi le sole armi che mi concedo di usare: il silenzio, l’esilio e l’astuzia ». Un capolavoro della letteratura, dall’autore dell’Ulisse.

JAMES JOYCE'S collection of short stories, Dubliners, is the first of his four masterpieces. Gaslit. turn-of-the-century Dublin is the setting for these fifteen explorations of human behaviour, The stories, which end with the brilliantly elegiac 'The Dead'. are both simple and complex. Linked by theme, detail, character and place, together they form a timeless circular novel. There is something more. Behind everything Joyce wrote lay a shadowy world — Dublin's customs, gossip, music, misery. its jokes and idioms. its sins and its social nuances. It was a world that had a unique physical, mental and literary landscape — one now almost forgotten. Here, in words and pictures, side by side with a new and carefully edited version of the work, this lost aspect of Dubliners is magnificently restored to view. Desire, dishonesty, politics, religion, humour and even murder inform the stories. Overlooked ironies and unrecorded crises are rediscovered in these pages, in an edition which seeks, as far as possible, to establish a text which reflects Joyce 's intentions. The notes and illustrations illuminate Joyce's Dublin from the inside, helping to make the city as familiar to the modern reader as it was to the author's contemporaries. The book is, in short. a lavish exploration and celebration Of the first full-scale work of the century's greatest novelist and of the city he hated and loved. --front flap
The remarkable collection of stories that make up Dubliners was described by Joyce himself as a series of chapters in the moral history of his community; and the arrangement of the tales reveals "a progression from childhood to maturity, broadening from private to public scope," as Harry Levin noted in his introduction to The Portable James Joyce. In fact, it is the scope of life that Joyce has limned in these stories--ranging from the opening tale, "The Sisters," in which the boy is confronted with death as he overhears the conversation of his elders, through the memorable "Ivy Day in the Committee Room" with its depiction of small-time politicians recalling their great lost leader, Parnell, to the exquisitely poignant "The Dead," wherein through the chance singing of a song a husband learns of a long-ago romance in his wife's life. While the geographic boundary of these fifteen stories may be middle-class, Catholic Dublin, the artistic boundary is set only by Joyce's far-reaching genius. --back cover
This is a collection of three great classic novels from James Joyce: Dubliners, Ulysses, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
It is only James Joyce's towering genius as a novelist that has led to the comparative neglect of his poetry and sole surviving play. And yet, argues Mays in his stimulating and informative introduction, several of these works not only occupy a pivotal position in Joyce's career; they are also magnificently assured achievements in their own right. Chamber Music is 'an extraordinary debut', fusing the styles of the nineties and the Irish Revival with irony and characteristic verbal exuberance. Pomes Penyeach and Exiles (highly acclaimed in Harold Pinter's 1970 staging) were written when Joyce had published Dubliners and was completing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Both confront painfully personal issues of adultery, jealousy and betrayal and so pave the way for the more detached and fully realized treatment in Ulysses. Joyce's occasional verse includes 'Ecce Puer' for his new-born grandson, juvenilia, satires, translations, limericks and a parody of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. All are brought together in this scholarly, fully annotated yet accessible new edition.

Ulysses is a novel by the Irish author James Joyce. Ulysses chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day, 16 June 1904 (the day of Joyce's first date with his future wife, Nora Barnacle). The title alludes to Odysseus (Latinised into Ulysses), the hero of Homer's Odyssey, and establishes a series of parallels between characters and events in Homer's poem and Joyce's novel (e.g., the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday. Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose-full of puns, parodies, and allusions, as well as its rich characterisations and broad humour, made the book a highly regarded novel in the Modernist pantheon. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
„Mal ist es eine Postkarte, mal ein Telegramm, mal ein Briefchen auf Hotelpapier, mal ein richtiggehendes kleines Bittgedicht, was Joyce zwischen den Jahren 1921 und 1940 an die Adresse von Sylvia Beach, »Shakespeare and Company«, Paris, schickte. So knapp die Zeilen oft sind und so förmlich das »Liebe Miss Beach« bis zum Schluß bleibt - was auf dem Strom dieser über 200 Mitteilungen herüberkommt, ist elementar: In ihr hatte er eine, auf die konnte er sich verlassen. Sylvia Beach war eine der wichtigsten Figuren in Joyces literarischer Karriere. Sie lancierte ihn, sie unterstützte und beschützte ihn; sie gab ihm viel mehr, als sie je bekam. Immerhin wurde sie durch diese Verbindung zur Verlegerin des bedeutendsten englischsprachigen Romans des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Die hier gesammelten Briefe, kenntnisreich kommentiert, stellen die erste vollständige Dokumentation dieser bemerkenswerten Beziehung dar.“
