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.'

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...
評分说实话,这本书给我的触动并不是很大。书中主人公立志成为一名艺术家的过程倒给我不少启发: 艺术家的眼光:家庭,宗教(在中国,则为官方说教),性爱都容易使人陷入一种平庸。惟有获得一种获取美感的能力“把普通的生活经历变成具有永恒生命力的光辉的杰作”(P256)的人才有...
評分第一次知道乔伊斯,是高中语文课外读本,里面有大段大段对国外文学名著的简介,其中一篇就是关于乔伊斯的意识流小说《尤利西斯》,父亲看了课外读本的简介后,不知道从哪里找来了两本厚厚的《尤利西斯》,我对于这种大部头向来是看不进去的,只记得当时把这两本书借给了同班同...

近乎意識流的東西除瞭從頭到尾跟著節奏讓自己的意識也跟著走一番之外,沒有瞭解小說的第二個途徑瞭,可到瞭最後一頁的時候又有點恍然若失,不知道這是自己的心情呢還是Stephan的意識瞭。會做夢的作傢已經很少瞭。造夢的作傢已經很少瞭。

评分比想象中的難讀,但又和想象有點相似又有點不同的那樣好看。Stephen's father's attributes. —A medical student, an oarsman, a tenor, an amateur actor, a shouting politician, a small landlord, a small investor, a drinker, a good fellow, a story-teller, somebody's secretary, something in a distillery, a tax-gatherer, a bankrupt and at present a praiser of his own past.
评分I keep telling myself that it’s okay to be not into the great James Joyce... =P
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。
