A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Here, in one volume, is a selection of Joyce's work covering his entire writing life. Four books – 'Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Chamber Music' (Joyce's early collection of poetry and first published work), and 'Exiles', his only play – are published in full, together with generous representative extracts from 'Pomes Penyeach' and the great novels, 'Ulysses' and 'Finnegans Wake'.

The texts are supplemented by an introduction and critical and explanatory notes by Harry Levin, a leading authority on Joyce and his works.

"Awe-inspiring genius. In Joyce's oeuvre one may find almost every kind of literary technique – 'the mythic method', the stream of consciousness, leitmotif, the uses of parody and pastiche, high styles and low styles, riveting realism and riotous fantasy, lyric, epic and dramatic modes, old words rescued from neglect and a whole new language, punning and polyglot, which we are only just beginning to appreciate"
DAVID LODGE

"Joyce's words are alive. They elbow their way on to the page and glow and blaze"
SAMUEL BECKETT
