James Joyce, the twentieth century’s most influential novelist, was born in Dublin on February 2, 1882. The oldest of ten children, he grew up in a family that went from prosperity to penury because of his father’s wastrel behavior. After receiving a rigorous Jesuit education, twenty-year-old Joyce renounced his Catholicism and left Dublin in 1902 to spend most of his life as a writer in exile in Paris, Trieste, Rome, and Zurich. On one trip back to Ireland, he fell in love with the now famous Nora Barnacle on June 16, the day he later chose as “Bloomsday” in his novel Ulysses. Nara was an uneducated Galway girl who became his lifelong companion an the mother of his two children. In debt and drinking heavily, Joyce lived for thirty-six years on the Continent, supporting himself first by teaching jobs, then trough the patronage of Mrs. Harold McCormick (Edith Rockerfeller) and the English feminist and editor Harriet Shaw Weaver. His writings include Chamber music (1907), Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Exiles (1918), Ulysses (1922), Poems Penyeach (1927), Finnegans Wake (1939), and an early draft of A Portrait of a Young Man, Stephan Hero (1944). Ulysses required seven years to complete, and his masterpiece, Finnegans Wake, took seventeen. Both works revolutionized the form, structure, and content of the novel. Joyce died in Zurich in 1941.
Published in 1916, James Joyce's semiautobiographical tale of his alter ego, Stephen Dedalus, is a coming-of-age story like no other. A bold, innovative experiment with both language and structure, the work has exerted a lasting influence on the contemporary novel.
'Joyce dissolved mechanism in literature as effectively as Einstein destroyed it in physics,' wrote Alfred Kazin. 'He showed that the material of fiction could rest upon as tense a distribution and as delicate a balance of its parts as any poem. Joyce's passion for form, in fact, is the secret of his progress as a novelist. He sought to bring the largest possible quantity of human life under the discipline of the observing mind, and the mark of his success is that he gave an epic form to what remains invisible to most novelists.... Joyce means many things to different people; for me his importance has always been primarily a moral one. He was, perhaps, the last man in Europe who wrote as if art were worth a human life.... By living for his art he may yet have given others a belief in art worth living for.'
曾经在学校图书馆的一角看到过乔伊斯的名作《尤利西斯》,翻看了几页就放弃了。那个时候总觉得这种晦涩难懂的意识流书籍还是远离为妙,太伤脑细胞。很久过后的现在,空闲迷茫状态的我,决定静下心来细细品读那几部一直想看的大作。《青年艺术家画像》被誉为《尤利西斯》前...
評分"JOYCE AND HIS TIME": http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/kershner/bioa.html 这个网页足以解答小说中各种与爱尔兰命运、爱尔兰的青年的命运纠缠不休的细节,以及扰攘不宁的大学时代,陪他左右的那些朋友,都曾是谁,后来因何而死。
評分原文Stephen went on: ——Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer. Terror is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatso...
評分《一个青年艺术家的画像》黄译指疑 半岛 俚语中有个称呼爱尔兰人的单词,paddy,这是人们对圣博德(St. Patrick)的昵称。博德于373年出生于不列颠岛,少年时被掠至爱尔兰为奴,逃亡后受命于教宗,毅然返往爱尔兰传教,自此爱尔兰皈依,博德在以后也成了爱尔兰的主保圣人,而...
評分这是值得读一辈子的小说,每次读后都觉得已经读懂了,可下一次看,却发现,其实依然不太懂。 本书是《尤利西斯》前传,但形式没那么叛逆,所以有点闷,与中国读者在情感上,多少有些隔阂,我们不太能和主人公同悲同喜。 因为,我们眼中的世界是“确定性”的,我们先天就承认...
To talk too much aesthetics into beauty may lead one astray from the original marvel of the magnificent myths. The discussions are quite interesting to read though, and the constant inner struggles, the debates between selves.
评分喬伊斯試圖模擬人思考的過程,與《都柏林人》中有所指的豐富細節不同。"portraits"中的各種感官、思考細節,可說其有所指,也可說其沒有。實在是“Vague words for a vague emotion”。很佩服喬伊斯對於自己文學天纔的剋製和精確。
评分Silence, exile, and cunning.
评分讀過不止一次。不過裏麵關於聲音圖像和文字之間的關係,小邪同學提齣來過,以前沒有注意到過,需要再讀。
评分意識流的他。絕對是今年看過最難的書瞭。。。Michael Robartes remembers forgotten beauty and, when his arms wrap her round, he presses in his arms the loveliness which has long faded from the world. Not this. Not at all. I desire to press in my arms the loveliness which has not yet come into the world.
