Joyce James: Chamber Music [CD]

Med<i> Dublinbor</i> [1914] ville James Joyce ställa hemstaden, erfarenheterna från uppväxten, i ett obarmhärtigt ljus. Sett till hur människor här framträder, utan tvekan särskilt männen, är det inte undra på att det tog många år av ständiga refuseringar innan<i> Dublinbor</i> till sist utgavs, under det för Europa fatala året 1914. Språket med vilket alla händelser skildras är så levande, oupphörligen så nära själva händelsernas smärtpunkter, att James Joyces första prosaverk kommit att höra till de odödliga klassikerna. Här i svensk översättning av Thomas Warburton. <br/><br/>JAMES JOYCE [1882-1941], irländsk författare, är en av modernismens portalfigurer. Romanen Odysseus [<i>Ulysses</i>, 1922] hör till den modernistiska erans allra mest inflytelserika verk, medan <i>Dublinbor </i>[<i>Dubliners</i>, 1914], hans första prosaverk, är den mest berömda samling noveller som någonsin skrivits på engelska. <br/><br/>I bokform på svenska för första gången på 28 år.<br/><br/><i>»James Joyce gjorde på egen hand slut på 1800-talet.« T.

The Dead [Bok / Pocket]

<b>Joyce's lyrical, poetic, semi-autobiographical novel in a new annotated edition, with an introduction by Joseph Brooker<br/></b><br/>The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, <i>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</i> is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to fully come into themselves.

<b>'Joyce's early short stories remain undimmed in their brilliance' <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br/><br/>James Joyce's earliest major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. <br/><br/>The stories within <i>Dubliners</i> are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism.

<b>James Joyce's only surviving play, <i>Exiles</i> builds upon one of his most famous short stories, 'The Dead', as well as elements of his own life.</b><br/><br/>It follows the story of writer Richard Rowan, who, along with his 'common-law wife' Bertha and their young son Archie, has come home to Dublin after ten long years away. Yet far from bringing comfort and ease, the couple's return to the place where they first met triggers an existential questioning, an anxiousness which is exacerbated by meetings with old friends and lovers. <i>Exiles</i> is a profound exploration of jealousy, doubt and the complexity of human desire.<br/><br/>'A landmark of modern theatre that explores the byzantine complexities of marriage with the honesty of genius' <i>Guardian</i><br/><br/>With a new introduction and notes by Andrew Gibson
