商品簡介
Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, and was first published in 1914. The stories form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th centuryA Portrait of the Artist as a Young ManNOVEL represents the transitional stage between the realism of Joyce's Dubliners and the symbolism of Ulysses, and is essential to the understanding of the later work. The novel is a highly autobiographical account of the adolescence and youth of Stephen Dedalus, who reappears in Ulysses, and who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics and essential bigotry of his background in late 19th century Ireland. Written with a light touch, this is perhaps the most accessible of Joyce's works.
