«A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man» is James Joyce's modernist novel, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Stephen Dedalus grows up in Dublin between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in an atmosphere of religious and national tension. The novel follows his intellectual and sexual awakening, his progressive distancing from Catholicism and family expectations, and his determination to become an artist. It is also an oblique portrait of the young James Joyce.
Originally published in 1916, this edition is part of the Penguin Modern Classics series; the cover reproduces a portrait of James Joyce by Jacques-Émile Blanche.
Intended for readers of modernist fiction and for those who want to delve into the work of James Joyce.
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.
