The stories in \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e show us truants, \u003cbr\u003eseducers, hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, struggling \u003cbr\u003emusicians, poets, patriots, and many more simply striving to get by.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\u003c\/i\u003e falls between the realism of \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e and the symbolism of \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e The novel is a highly autobiographical account of the youth of Stephen \u003cbr\u003eDedalus, who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, \u003cbr\u003ehe must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics\u003cbr\u003e and essential bigotry of his life in late 19th century Ireland. Written\u003cbr\u003e with a light touch, it is perhaps the most accessible of Joyce's works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e is James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece. Scandalously \u003cbr\u003efrank, it tells of the events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen \u003cbr\u003eDedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife,\u003cbr\u003e Molly, commits adultery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInitially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive \u003cbr\u003enovel, revolutionary in its modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a\u003cbr\u003e work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e is the book of Here Comes Everybody and Anna Livia\u003cbr\u003e Plurabelle and their family - their book, but in a curious way the book\u003cbr\u003e of us all as well as all our books. Joyce's last great work, it is not \u003cbr\u003ecomprised of many borrowed styles, like \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, but, rather, \u003cbr\u003eformulated as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape. It also remains the\u003cbr\u003e most hilarious, 'obscene', book of innuendos ever to be imagined.","brand":"Joyce, James","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":51888479207763,"sku":"XV81840226768","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":42077864493241,"sku":"9781840226768","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/joyce-james-james-joyce-the-complete-novels-of-james-joyce-wordsworth-library-collection-2012-hardback-1192700642.jpg?v=1757854758","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/complete-novels-of-james-joyce-h-b-w10","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
