With the passing of each year, Ulysses receives wider recognition and greater acclaim as a modern literary classic. To comprehend Joyce's masterpiece fully, to gain insight into its significance and structure, the serious reader will find this analytical and systematic guide invaluable. In this exegesis, written under Joyce's supervision, Stuart Gilbert presents a work that is at once scholarly, authoritative and stimulating.

«Mir wurde klar, dass ich das Gleichgewicht des Tages zerstört hatte, die außergewöhnliche Stille eines Strandes, an dem ich glücklich gewesen war. Da habe ich noch viermal auf einen leblosen Körper geschossen, in den die Kugeln eindrangen, ohne dass man es ihm ansah. Und es war wie vier kurze Schläge, mit denen ich an das Tor des Unglücks hämmerte.» Die Geschichte eines jungen Franzosen in Algerien, den ein lächerlicher Zufall zum Mörder macht, wurde 1942 im besetzten Frankreich zu einer literarischen Sensation. Der Roman bedeutete den schriftstellerischen Durchbruch für Albert Camus und gilt heute als einer der Haupttexte des Existenzialismus.

Roaming Paris streets by night in the early 1930s, Brassa created arresting images of the city's dramatic nocturnal landscape. First published in French in 1932, this new edition brings one of Brassa's finest works back into print. The back alleys, metro stations, and bistros he photographed are at turns hauntingly empty or peopled by prostitutes, laborers, thugs, and lovers. "Paris by Night" is a stunning portrait of nighttime in the City of Light, as captured by its most articulate observer. 62 photos.

A delightful period piece of Paris in the late 1880’s, We’ll to the Woods No More ( Les lauriers sont coupés ) retains its importance as the first use of the monologue intérieur and the inspiration for the stream-of-consciousness technique perfected by James Joyce. Dujardin’s charming tale, told with insight and irony, recounts what goes on in the mind of a young man-about-town in love with a Parisian actress. Mallarmé described the poetry of the telling as "the instant seized by the throat." Originally published in France in 1887, the first English translation (by Joyce scholar Stuart Gilbert) was published by New Directions in 1938. In 1957 Leon Edel’s perceptive historical essay reintroduced the book as "the rare and beautiful case of a minor work which launched a major movement."
