James Joyce

James Joycen Ulysses (1922) on usein 1900-luvun tärkeimmäksi sanottu romaani, joka kuvaa jo käsitteiksi muodostuneiden päähenkilöidensä - Leopold ja Molly Bloomin sekä Stephen Dedaluksen - päivää Dublinissa 16. kesäkuuta 1904. Samalla se on rabelaismaisen naurun kannattelema tutkielma historian, taiteen, seksuaalisuuden ja ihmisenä olemisen ehdoista. Ulysses julkaistaan nyt Leevi Lehdon uutena suomennoksena, joka pyrkii tekemään oikeutta sen vahvalle ajan- ja paikantunnulle, tyylilliselle monimuotoisuudelle ja verbaaliselle hillittömyydelle. Kattavat selitykset auttavat näkemään teoksen yhteydet edeltävään ja aikansa kirjallisuuteen ja johdattavat myös runsaan kommenttikirjallisuuden pariin.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A K nstlerroman written in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, Joyce's fictional alter ego, whose surname alludes to Daedalus, Greek mythology's consummate craftsman. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man explores what it means to become an artist. Stephen's decision at the end of the novel-to leave his family and friends behind and go into exile in order to become an artist-suggests that Joyce sees the artist as a necessarily isolated figure.

'Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo ' So begins one of the most significant literary works of the twentieth century, and one of the most innovative. Its originality shocked contemporary readers on its publication in 1916 who found its treating of the minutiae of daily life indecorous, and its central character unappealing. Was it art or was it filth? The novel charts the intellectual, moral, and sexual development of Stephen Dedalus, from his childhood listening to his father's stories through his schooldays and adolescence to the brink of adulthood and independence, and his awakening as an artist. Growing up in a Catholic family in Dublin in the final years of the nineteenth century, Stephen's consciousness is forged by Irish history and politics, by Catholicism and culture, language and art. Stephen's story mirrors that of Joyce himself, and the novel is both startlingly realistic and brilliantly crafted. For this edition Jeri Johnson, editor of the acclaimed Ulysses 1922 text, has written an introduction and notes which together provide a comprehensive and illuminating appreciation of Joyce's artistry.

Irlantilaisen James Joycen esikoisteos, novellikokoelma Dublinilaisia oli lähtölaukaus 1900-luvun merkittävimpiin kuuluvan kirjailijan uralle. Kokoelma valmistui jo vuonna 1907, mutta Joyce sai sen julkisuuteen vasta 1914 taisteltuaan pitkään eri kustantajien kanssa. Ongelmien syynä oli Joycen tapa kuvata dublinilaisia ja Dublinia kaunistelematta, vapaana kaikesta kelttiläishenkisestä romantisoinnista. Dublinilaisia on häikäilemätön novellikokoelma, joka tarjoaa 15 välähdyksenomaista kuvaa keskiluokkaisten dublinilaisten elämästä. Joyce käsittelee surkuhupaisasti ja kainostelematta lapsuuden turhautuneisuutta, seksuaalista heräämistä ja aikuisuuden tuomaa vääjäämätöntä pettymystä. Kokonaisuutena novellit ilmentävät paitsi yksittäisiä ihmiskohtaloita myös kokonaista kansakuntaa. Uusi suomennos tuo Joycen klassikon nykyaikaan, onhan edellinen käännös melkein viiden vuosikymmenen takaa. James Joycen (1882-1941) tunnetuimpia teoksia ovat Dublinilaisten ohella romaanit Taiteilijan omakuva nuoruuden vuosilta, Odysseus ja Finnegans Wake.

Exiles is James Joyce's only extant play and draws on the story of "The Dead", the final short story in Joyce's story collection Dubliners. The play was rejected by W. B. Yeats for production by the Abbey Theatre. Its first major London performance was in 1970, when Harold Pinter directed it at the Mermaid Theatre. In terms of both its critical and popular reception, Exiles has proven the least successful of all of Joyce's published works. In making his case for the defence of the play, Padraic Colum conceded: "...critics have recorded their feeling that Exiles] has not the enchantment of Portrait of the Artist nor the richness of Ulysses]... They have noted that Exiles has the shape of an Ibsen play and have discounted it as being the derivative work of a young admirer of the great Scandinavian dramatist." Summary: Joyce himself described the structure of the play as "three cat and mouse acts". The play follows four players and two couples, Richard Rowan, a writer and his "common-law wife"Bertha, and Robert Hand with his cousin and previous lover Beatrice, both old friends of the previous couple. "The plot is deceptively simple: Richard, a writer, returns to Ireland from Rome with Bertha, the mother of his illegitimate son, Archie. While there, he meets his former lover and correspondent Beatrice Justice and former drinking partner and now successful journalist Robert Hand. Robert was also Beatrice's lover, and here the complications begin." 2] As jealousy develops throughout the relationships the action meditates mostly in a budding relationship between Hand and Bertha and thus in Hand's attempts at seduction with the lover of his friend. The first act takes place at Rowan's house where Hand makes his first advance at Bertha. After kissing her "with passion" several times Hand requests she join him in his home for a second meeting later that evening. Bertha in turn confides in Rowan and questions whether or not to accept his invitation. To this, Rowan retorts she must do whatever she pleases. In the second act, Hand waits, expecting Bertha at the appointed hour but instead is surprised when Rowan appears. Calmly, Rowan explains his knowledge of Hand's attempts at wooing Bertha but is interrupted when Bertha herself knocks at the door. Rowan returns home, leaving his wife alone with Hand who continues his advances toward Bertha. The act ends inconclusively, with Hand asking if Bertha loves him, and Bertha explaining: "I like you, Robert. I think you are good... Are you satisfied?" The third act returns to Rowan's home at seven o'clock the following morning. Bertha's maid informs her of Rowan's departure from the home an hour earlier, as he left for a walk on the strand. Printed in the morning newspapers is a favourable article written about Rowan, written the previous evening by Hand himself. The events of the previous night between Bertha and Hand are unclear, as both parties agree it was a "dream." But appearances demonstrate Hand and Bertha shared "a sacred night of love." Hand reports to Rowan, assuring him Bertha in fact did not stay the night but instead Hand spent the night alone. Claiming to have visited the Vice-Chancellor's lodge, returned home to write the newspaper article, then gone to a nightclub where he picked up a divorc e and had sex with her ("what the subtle Duns Scotus calls a death of the spirit took place") in the cab on the way home. Following this conversation, Hand leaves his cousin's house in Surrey while Rowan and Bertha are reconciled. Bertha admits that she longs to meet her lover, but asserts that the lover is Rowan himself. The resolution of the play lies precisely in the sense of doubt about what occurred between Hand and Bertha between Acts Two and Three. Rowan is wounded by the sense of doubt that he admits he longed for.... James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 - 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet.

Welcome to James Joyce's Ulysses. In this classic edition of this novel, first published by Sylvia Beach in Paris, February 1922, we are proud to offer you the best Kindle edition of this literary classic featuring one of the most acclaimed stories of the 20th century. A man leaves home in the morning, fulfills his daily tasks, and returns home at night. It was around this deceptively simple, almost banal skeleton, that James Joyce drew up what came to be the one of the greatest novels ever written. Inspired by Homer's Odyssey, Ulysses is set in Dublin and follows the adventures of Leopold Bloom and his friend Stephen Dedalus, throughout June 16th, 1904. Like the Homeric Odysseus, Bloom must overcome numerous obstacles and temptations to return to the apartment in Eccles Street, where his wife, Molly, awaits. To create this rich and vibrant character, Joyce mixed numerous styles and cultural references, in a kaleidoscope of voices and tones, in such a way that still challenges generations of readers and scholars around the world. The cult around Ulysses began even before its publication in book form, when excerpts from the novel began to appear in a U. S. literary journal. Because of these passages, Ulysses was even banned in the United States, on charges of obscenity, triggering a lengthy legal war, which would be resolved only eleven years later, with the release of the novel on American soil. But beyond all the disputes and controversies, Ulysses remains as a groundbreaking novel, stretching and shaping the English language to its limits, in order to achieve a faithful, witty and moving portrait of what is conventionally called "the modern man". As you read this Mogul Classics edition of James Joyce's Ulysses, you will relive the most acclaimed novel of the 20th century. May all your dreams come true Mogul Classics Editor

Iiri kirjaniku James Joyce'i romaan "Ulysses" on modernistliku kirjanduse tähtteos. 1922. aastal Pariisis ilmunud raamat pandi ingliskeelsetes riikides kümmekonnaks aastaks keelu alla - peamiselt roppuste, aga ka jumalateotuse ettekäändel. Teos kujutab ühte päeva, 16. juunit 1904 kolme dublinlase elus. Boheemliku noorkirjaniku Stephen Dedaluse teed ristuvad romaani peategelase, (pool)juudist reklaamiagendi, "väikese inimese" ja igamehe Leopold Bloomiga. Raamat lõpeb Bloomi truudusetu naise Molly elujaatava monoloogiga. Lisaks neile kolmele kohtume raamatus kümnete kõrvaltegelastega. Moodsaid elutriviaalsusi ja -vaateid, füsioloogiat ja aateid peegeldavad stseenid on asetatud Homerose "Odüsseia" raamistikule, mis annab kogu tervikule ajatu ja üldinimliku mõõtme. Peatükid varieerivad väga eriilmelisi stiile lüürilisest sümbolismist unenäolise farsini, bulvariromaanist katekismuseni, teaduslikust objektiivsusest teadvuse vooluni. See esitab tõlkijale määratu väljakutse. Hoolimata mitmekihilisusest, mida asjatundjad on sajandi vältel tuhandeid kordi tõlgendanud, analüüsinud ja kommenteerinud, peaks romaan olema ligipääsetav igale eelarvamusvabale tavalugejale. James Joyce (1882-1941) on saanud sõltumatu, ainult omaenda seadusi järgiva kunstniku võrdkujuks. Ta sündis Dublinis, omandas hariduse jesuiidi koolides ning sai hiilgava õpilasena stipendiumi edasiõppimiseks Pariisis. Joyce ütles lahti nii kirikust kui ka isamaast, et pühenduda ainult kirjandusele. (Noorena oli ta ka paljulubav laulja.) 1904. aasta sügisel lahkus ta koos oma elukaaslase Nora Barnacle'iga Iirimaalt ning tema viimane lühike reis kodumaale jäi 1912. aastasse. Joyce'id elasid mitmel pool Mandri-Euroopas: Zürichis, Triestes, Roomas, Pariisis. Asjatundjate seas juba kõrgelt hinnatud autori laiem kuulsus saabus romaaniga "Ulysses". Pimedaks jäänud kirjaniku viimane romaan "Finnegans Wake" ilmus 1939. Eesti keeles on ilmunud veel Joyce'i novellikogu "Dublinlased" (lõpetatud 1906, esmatrükk 1914, eesti keeles 1969, 2003), näidend "Pagulased" (1915, eesti keeles 2003), kujunemisromaan "Kunstniku noorpõlveportree" (1916, eesti keeles 2003) - kõik Jaak Rähesoo tõlkes. Paul-Eerik Rummo (snd 1942) on üks tähtsamaid eesti luuletajaid ja näitekirjanikke. Tema esimesed tõlked inglise, soome ja vene keelest ilmusid juba 1960. aastatel. Lisaks luulele - Aleksandr Pushkin, Tuomas Anhava, Paavo Haavikko, John Donne, T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas jpt - on tema tõlkes ilmunud Henrik Ibseni suured värssdraamad "Brand" (2014) ja "Peer Gynt" (2017), aga ka Joseph Helleri "Me pommitasime New Havenit" (1973), R. D. Laingi "Omadega puntras" (1978) jt proosaraamatuid. Valikut tema kirjanduskriitilistest esseedest pakub kogumik "Kuldnokk kõnnib" (2010). Paul-Eerik Rummo on olnud poliitik, rahvasaadik, kultuuri- ja haridusminister.

This strikingly illustrated edition presents Joyce's epic novel in a new, more accessible light, while showcasing the incredible talent of a leading Spanish artist. The neo-figurative artist Eduardo Arroyo (1937-2018), regarded today as one of the greatest Spanish painters of his generation, dreamed of illustrating James Joyce's Ulysses. Although he began work on the project in 1989, it was never published during his lifetime: Stephen James Joyce, Joyce's grandson and the infamously protective executor of his estate, refused to allow it, arguing that his grandfather would never have wanted the novel illustrated. In fact, a limited run appeared in 1935 with lithographs by Henri Matisse, which reportedly infuriated Joyce when he realized that Matisse, not having actually read the book, had merely depicted scenes from Homer's Odyssey. Now available for the first time in English, this unique edition of the classic novel features three hundred images created by Arroyo--vibrant, eclectic drawings, paintings, and collages that reflect and amplify the energy of Joyce's writing.
