Download or read book THE JAMES JOYCE COLLECTION 5 Books in One Edition written by James Joyce and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 2285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The James Joyce Collection brings together five of James Joyce's most renowned works in one comprehensive edition. Known for his innovative literary style and modernist approach, Joyce revolutionized the use of stream-of-consciousness narrative and intricate wordplay. The collection includes the groundbreaking novel 'Ulysses', which follows the various activities of protagonist Leopold Bloom throughout a single day in Dublin. Additionally, 'Dubliners' explores the lives of ordinary Dubliners in a series of interconnected short stories, while 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' delves into the coming-of-age story of young Stephen Dedalus. 'Exiles' delves into themes of love and loss, and 'Chamber Music' showcases Joyce's early poetic works. This comprehensive collection provides readers with a unique insight into Joyce's evolving literary style and thematic exploration of Irish identity and culture. James Joyce, an Irish author renowned for his complex narrative techniques and experimental approach to literature, draws on his own experiences and observations of Dublin life in crafting his works. His profound understanding of human consciousness and intricate language usage set him apart as a leading figure of modernist literature. I highly recommend The James Joyce Collection to readers interested in exploring the works of one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. This collection offers a deep dive into Joyce's masterful storytelling and intricate exploration of themes such as identity, nationality, and the human experience.

Book excerpt: 2012 Reprint of Original 1957 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Includes three poems: "Chamber Music," "Pomes Penyeach" and "Ecce Puer" Joyce is considered one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominently the stream of consciousness technique he perfected. Joyce also published a number of books of poetry. His first full-length poetry collection "Chamber Music" (referring, Joyce explained, to the sound of urine hitting the side of a chamber pot) consisted of 36 short lyrics. Other poetry Joyce published in his lifetime includes "Gas From A Burner" (1912), Pomes Penyeach (1927) and "Ecce Puer" (written in 1932 to mark the birth of his grandson and the recent death of his father). It was published by the Black Sun Press in Collected Poems (1936).
Download or read book Dubliners written by James Joyce and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an essay by J. I. M. Stewart. 'Every night as I gazed up at the window I said softly to myself the word paralysis. It had always sounded strangely in my ears ... But now it sounded to me like the name of some maleficent and sinful being. It filled me with fear, and yet I longed to be nearer to it and to look upon its deadly work' From a child grappling with the death of a fallen priest, to a young woman's dilemma over whether to elope to Argentina with her lover, to the dance party at which a man discovers just how little he really knows about his wife, these fifteen stories bring the gritty realism of existence in Joyce's native Dublin to life. With Dubliners, James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental.

Download or read book Joyce Aristotle and Aquinas written by Fran O'Rourke and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich examination of the influence of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas on James Joyce In this book, Fran O’Rourke examines the influence of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas on James Joyce, arguing that both thinkers fundamentally shaped the philosophical outlook which pervades the author’s oeuvre. O’Rourke demonstrates that Joyce was a philosophical writer who engaged creatively with questions of diversity and unity, identity, permanence and change, and the reliability of knowledge. Beginning with an introduction to each thinker, the book traces Joyce’s discovery of their works and his concrete engagement with their thought. Aristotle and Aquinas equipped Joyce with fundamental principles regarding reality, knowledge, and the soul, which allowed him to shape his literary characters. Joyce appropriated Thomistic concepts to elaborate an original and personal aesthetic theory. O’Rourke provides an annotated commentary on quotations from Aristotle that Joyce entered into his famous Early Commonplace Book and outlines their crucial significance for his writings. He also provides an authoritative evaluation of Joyce’s application of Aquinas’s aesthetic principles. The first book to comprehensively illuminate the profound impact of both the ancient and medieval thinker on the modernist writer, Joyce, Aristotle, and Aquinas offers readers a rich understanding of the intellectual background and philosophical underpinnings of Joyce’s work.

Download or read book The Waves To the Lighthouse written by Virginia Woolf and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "The Waves & To the Lighthouse" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "To the Lighthouse" – The Ramsey family arrives to their summer house in the Hebrides, on the Isle of Sky in Scotland. They plan to visit the island's lighthouse one day, but the weather doesn't allow them and that creates some tension between family members. As the Ramsays have been joined at the house by a number of friends and colleagues, the trip to the lighthouse doesn't happen. Passing of the time brings death and grief to the Ramsey family, but the tension is still there. "The Waves" consists of soliloquies spoken by six characters: Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis. Also important is Percival, the seventh character, though we never hear him speak in his own voice. The soliloquies that span the characters' lives are broken up by nine brief third-person interludes detailing a coastal scene at varying stages in a day from sunrise to sunset. As the six characters or "voices" speak Woolf explores concepts of individuality, self and community. Each character is distinct, yet together they compose a gestalt about a silent central consciousness.

Download or read book Dubliners written by James Joyce and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2014-05-25T00:00:00Z with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubliners is a collection of picturesque short stories that paint a portrait of life in middle-class Dublin in the early 20th century. Joyce, a Dublin native, was careful to use actual locations and settings in the city, as well as language and slang in use at the time, to make the stories directly relatable to those who lived there. The collection had a rocky publication history, with the stories being initially rejected over eighteen times before being provisionally accepted by a publisher—then later rejected again, multiple times. It took Joyce nine years to finally see his stories in print, but not before seeing a printer burn all but one copy of the proofs. Today Dubliners survives as a rich example of not just literary excellence, but of what everyday life was like for average Dubliners in their day. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
Download or read book The Letters of Sylvia Beach written by Sylvia Beach and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founder of the Left Bank bookstore Shakespeare and Company and the first publisher of James Joyce's Ulysses, Sylvia Beach had a legendary facility for nurturing literary talent. In this first collection of her letters, we witness Beach's day-to-day dealings as bookseller and publisher to expatriate Paris. Friends and clients include Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, H. D., Ezra Pound, Janet Flanner, William Carlos Williams, F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, and Richard Wright. As librarian, publicist, publisher, and translator, Beach carved out a unique space for herself in English and French letters. This collection reveals Beach's charm and resourcefulness, sharing her negotiations with Marianne Moore to place Joyce's work in The Dial; her battle to curb the piracy of Ulysses in the United States; her struggle to keep Shakespeare and Company afloat during the Depression; and her complicated affair with the French bookstore owner Adrienne Monnier. These letters also recount Beach's childhood in New Jersey; her work in Serbia with the American Red Cross; her internment in a German prison camp; and her friendship with a new generation of expatriates in the 1950s and 1960s. Beach was the consummate American in Paris and a tireless champion of the avant-garde. Her warmth and wit made the Rue de l'Odéon the heart of modernist Paris.

Download or read book The Works of James Joyce written by James Joyce and published by NTC/Contemporary Publishing Company. This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T. S. Eliot, one of many who proclaimed the Irishman's greatness, described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'. For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats's work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times. Paradoxical, proud and passionate, Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.
