"Don't you think there is a certain resemblance between the mystery of the Mass and what I am trying to do?...To give people some kind of intellectual pleasure or spiritual enjoyment by converting the bread of everyday life into something that has a permanent artistic life of its own." -- James Joyce, in a letter to his brother With these fifteen stories James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental. Whether writing about the death of a fallen priest ("The Sisters"), the petty sexual and fiscal machinations of "Two Gallants," or of the Christmas party at which an uprooted intellectual discovers just how little he really knows about his wife ("The Dead"), Joyce takes narrative places it had never been before. The text of this edition has been newly edited by Hans Walter Gabler and Walter Hettche and is followed by a new afterword, chronology, and bibliography by John S. Kelly. Also included in a special appendix are the original versions of three stories as well as Joyce's long-suppressed Preface to Dubliners.

乔伊斯自言是以“一种处心积虑的卑琐的文体”写作本书,这是我看完后才得知的。是的,跟<尤利西斯>相比的确称得上是。 第一人称叙述只存在于并完全占据了童年部分的三篇小说,可以说是对角色意识最全知的三篇。乔伊斯也很理所当然地捉住了这个机会,一照面就更为直接地向读者...
评分大学时候翻过《尤利西斯》,五六十页的样子,没有耐性读完。日常生活中你留给别人的第一印象很关键,好恶常由此决定。读书,与作家相遇,也是这个道理。80年代生人大都不喜鲁迅,一定程度是学生时代逢先生作品必要背诵留下的阴影。初看《尤利西斯》,宛如天书,我甚至想自...
