«Retrato del artista adolescente» is the novel by James Joyce, published by Mediasat Group in hardcover (307 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Stephen Dedalus, Joyce's literary double, from childhood to youth through evocations of his consciousness. Stephen clashes with Catholicism, sin, penance and the social conventions of the Ireland of his time. The character, who reappears in Ulysses, seeks himself as an artist in an environment he finds suffocating.
Published serially in 1914-1915 and as a book in 1916. No. 13 of the Biblioteca El Mundo collection with translation by Dámaso Alonso and prologue by Eduardo Chamorro.
Aimed at readers of classics of world literature and twentieth-century Irish fiction.
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.
