«Portrait de l'artiste en jeune homme» is James Joyce's semi-autobiographical novel, in a paperback edition from Editions Flammarion (473 pages, in French).
The novel follows the intellectual and spiritual formation of Stephen Dedalus, a young Irishman caught between Catholic faith and the nationalism of his surroundings. In his education and religious crises, Stephen questions received conventions and seeks his own path as an artist; it is a key work of literary modernism.
The edition includes a preface by Jacques Aubert and the French translation by Ludmila Savitzky from the original English.
For readers interested in the modernist novel and in the tensions between religion, nation, and artistic vocation.
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.
