Retrat de l'artista adolescent is an autobiographical novel by James Joyce that presents the passage through the crisis of adolescence. The work can be read as a Bildungsroman, focused on the emergence of the artist. In this case, the Catholic tradition and nationalist agitation come to the fore in a struggle that, beyond conventionalisms, seeks a form of expression that accompanies the protagonist to the threshold of adulthood. This edition belongs to the PROA BUTXACA collection.
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.
