*1:a på Modern Librarys lista över 1900-talets 100 viktigaste engelskspråkiga romaner*»Det är boken vi alla står i tacksamhetsskuld till och som ingen av oss kan undkomma.« | T. S. EliotHur kan en roman från 1922 fortfarande kännas modernare än nästan allt som trycks i dag?Handlingen i James Joyces Odysseus utspelar sig under ett och samma dygn, 16 juni 1904. Dublins alla hem, gator, offentliga platser; stadens minnen, känslor, begär - allt ville författaren fånga. Varje episod, och dess centrala karaktärer, korresponderar också med motsvarande i det mest kända litterära verket från vår civilisations gryning, Homeros Odysséen. Språkets roller i verkligheten är fler än den direkt kommunikativa, menade Joyce. Vi har kontroll över språket och samtidigt ingen som helst kontroll över dess havsliknande flöde genom oss. Romanens alla röst- och stilskiften - festglädje, högtidlighet, andlighet, kåthet, hunger, oro, extatisk uppsluppenhet - rymmer män och kvinnor, unga och gamla. Inre monolog blir spirituell dialog och klipp- och klistra med litteraturhistorien och vardagsspråken. Genom hälsningen till Homeros kopplas allt till ett mytiskt kretslopp.James Joyces Odysseus [Ulysses, 1922] - en av världslitteraturens absolut största klassiker, utges här i Thomas Warburtons svenska översättning.JAMES JOYCE [1882-1941], irländsk författare, är en av den modernistiska litteraturens portalfigurer. Romanen Odysseus [Ulysses, 1922] brukar betraktas som den modernistiska erans mest inflytelserika verk.

Finnegans Wake av James Joyce (1882-1941) är ett centralt verk i den litterära modernismen. Samtidigt är det så mångtydigt eller omöjligt att tyda, att läsarens främsta reaktion blir förvirring och rådlöshet. Men oavsett om läsaren förstår helheten eller inte -- och det gör läsaren inte -- finns här ett outtömligt flöde av ordlekar och språkliga nykonstruktioner som är underhållande, humoristiska, vackra och bisarrt fascinerande. Läsaren kommer på sig själv med att bli poetiskt hänförd -- och inte sällan med att skratta högt. Finnegans Wake är naturligtvis omöjlig att översätta eller tolka på svenska. Och just därför, i god joycesk anda, bör något liknande göras. Bertil Falk kallar detta ett "motsvariggörande" av verket. Men kan Finnegans Wake ens motsvariggöras? Vi famlar i blindo som med allt annat som rör James Joyces extrem-modernistiska verk. Och trots allt kan vi läsa Bertil Falks motsvariggörande för dess egna språkekvilibristiska skull. Finnegans likvaka är dessutom för svenska läsare en utmärkt introduktion till James Joyces märkliga storverk. Bertil Falk (född 1933) började motsvariggöra Finnegans Wake under jullovet 1954-1955 och har nu rott livsprojektet i land, 66 år senare. Ett annat av hans livsverk publicerades av Aleph Bokförlag i tre band 2020, Faktasin: Den svenskspråkiga science fiction-litteraturens historia. Bertil Falk har haft en lång och omväxlande karriär som journalist vid Kvällsposten och på TV3:s nyhetsredaktion i London, som tidskriftsutgivare, deckarförfattare, litteraturvetare och översättare. 2016 väckte han stor uppmärksamhet i Indien med Feroze: The Forgotten Gandhi utgiven av Roli Books, en bok som tog honom 40 år att efterforska och skriva.

Den 16 juni 1904 är en dag som har gått till litteraturhistorien. Det är den dag då annonsförsäljaren Leopold Bloom äter en smörgås, går planlöst genom Dublin och tänker på sin otrogna hustru. Det är den dag då den unge poeten Stephen Dedalus samtalar, skryter, super och grubblar över sin döda mor. Dagen slutar i en natt där Molly Bloom i en vindlande, sinnlig monolog vakendrömmer om make och älskare. Det är en dag utan sensationer, men ändå en sensationell dag, gestaltad i ett språkligt fyrverkeri som fick prosan att te sig ny och oändligt möjlig.Erik Anderssons enastående nyöversättning av James Joyces Ulysses ger en inblick i hur revolutionerande romanen var och fortfarande är, kärv och humoristisk, högdragen och ömsint.Historierna kring boken är många:Enligt James Joyces egna beräkningar arbetade han i 10 000 timmar med Ulysses. Huruvida det stämmer eller inte är svårt att säga. Joyce skapade gärna myter om sig själv, och uppmuntrade journalister att skriva vansinnigheter om honom. Bland annat att han brukade simma i Seine varje morgon, och att han satt och skrev omgiven av speglar.
James Joyce och Marcel Proust träffades en gång. Efteråt menade Joyce att valet av diskussionsämne var egendomligt med tanke på att det var den moderna litteraturens fixstjärnor som möttes. Proust frågade om Joyce tyckte om tryffel. Joyce svarade: "Ja, det gör jag."
Flera år innan Ulysses kom ut i Frankrike publicerades den som följetong i den amerikanska tidskriften Little Review. Men när man kommit så långt som till kapitel 13, som bland annat beskriver hur Leopold Bloom masturberar, var det stopp. Utgivningen förbjöds, eftersom boken ansågs obscen. Domare J M Woolsey friade till slut boken 1933, och förklarade att de fula ord som användes i romanen var "gamla anglosaxiska uttryck som inte är främmande för några män och jag vågar påstå inte för många kvinnor heller, och som används dagligen och helt naturligt av de människor vilkas kroppsliga och själsliga liv Joyce velat beskriva".

'And low, stole o'er the stillness the heartbeats of sleep'In Chapelizod, a suburb of Dublin, an innkeeper and his family are sleeping. Around them and their dreams there swirls a vortex of world history, of ambition and failure, desire and transgression, pride and shame, rivalry and conflict, gossip and mystery. This is a book that reinvents the novel and plays fantastic games with the language to tell the story of one man's fall and resurrection; in the intimate drama of Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker and his wife Anna Livia, the character of Ireland itself takes form. Joyce called time and the river and the mountains the real heroes of his book, and its organic structure and extraordinary musicality embody his vision. It is both an outrageous epic and a wildly inventive comedy that rewards its readers with never-ending layers of meaning.In the introduction to this newly set edition, which faithfully maintains the original page layout, Finn Fordham guides the reader through the novel's complexity, and suggests a range of ways into the book. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Through what Joyce described as their "style of scrupulous meanness," the stories present a direct, sometimes searing view of Dublin in the early twentieth century. The text of this Norton Critical Edition is based on renowned Joyce scholar Hans Walter Gabler’s edited text and includes his editorial notes and the introduction to his scholarly edition, which details and discusses Dubliners’ complicated publication history. "Contexts" offers a rich collection of materials that bring the stories and the Irish capital to life for twenty-first century readers, including photographs, newspaper articles and advertising, early versions of two of the stories, and a satirical poem by Joyce about his publication woes. "Criticism" brings together eight illuminating essays on the most frequently taught stories in Dubliners—"Araby," "Eveline," "After the Race," "The Boarding House," "Counterpoints," "A Painful Case," and "The Dead." Contributors include David G. Wright, Heyward Ehrlich, Margot Norris, James Fairhall, Fritz Senn, Morris Beja, Roberta Jackson, and Vincent J. Cheng.

'Everybody knows now that Ulysses is the greatest novel of the century' Anthony Burgess, ObserverFollowing the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.'The most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape' T. S. Eliot'Intoxicating ... a towering work, in its word play surpassing even Shakespeare' Guardian

'- What is your nation if I may ask, says the citizen.- Ireland, says Bloom. I was born here. Ireland.'Ulysses, one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, has had a profound influence on modern fiction. In a series of episodes covering the course of a single day, 16 June 1904, the novel traces the movements of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets of Dublin. Each episode has its own literary style, and the epic journey of Odysseus is only one of many correspondencies that add layers of meaning to the text.Today critical interest centres on the authority of the text, and this edition, complete with an invaluable introduction, notes, and appendices, republishes without interference, the original 1922 text. Jeri Johnson's commentary guides the reader through this highly allusive novel in an edition acclaimed by scholars and general readers alike. This updated edition includes new explanatory notes, a revised introduction, and expanded bibliography.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece, Ulysses, tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery.Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience.

Med Dublinbor [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 Dublinbor 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.

Introduction and Notes by Laurence Davies, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire.Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city, Joyce made Dublin unforgettable. The stories in Dubliners show us truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical, and people striving to get by.In every sense an international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by seeing it unflinchingly and challenging every precedent and piety in Irish literature.

The Penguin English Library Edition of Dubliners by James Joyce'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.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

'Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo 'So begins one of the most significant literary works of the twentieth century, and one of the most innovative. Its originality shocked contemporary readers on its publication in 1916 who found its treating of the minutiae of daily life indecorous, and its central character unappealing. Was it art or was it filth?The novel charts the intellectual, moral, and sexual development of Stephen Dedalus, from his childhood listening to his father's stories through his schooldays and adolescence to the brink of adulthood and independence, and his awakening as an artist. Growing up in a Catholic family in Dublin in the final years of the nineteenth century, Stephen's consciousness is forged by Irish history and politics, by Catholicism and culture, language and art. Stephen's story mirrors that of Joyce himself, and the novel is both startlingly realistic and brilliantly crafted.For this edition Jeri Johnson, editor of the acclaimed Ulysses 1922 text, has written an introduction and notes which together provide a comprehensive and illuminating appreciation of Joyce's artistry.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Ett av världslitteraturens viktigaste självbiografiska verk»Han gjorde på egen hand slut på 1800-talet.« | T.S. Eliot»Joyce revolutionerade 1900-talslitteraturen.« | Time MagazineEtt porträtt av författaren som ung [1916] gjorde James Joyce till en ledargestalt för den litterära modernismen över hela Europa. Romanen utspelar sig i författarens hemland Irland och berättar i fem episoder om Stephen Dedalus barndom. Handlingen baseras helt och hållet på Joyces eget liv och utgör ett privat manifest inte minst genom sin vassa självständighetsförklaring gentemot katolicismen. Joyce uppfann ett nytt sätt att skriva roman på. Han övergav det traditionella berättandet för att i stället återge en medvetandeström, samt lanserade sina epifanier; ögonblickliga uppenbarelser som i sin vardaglighet låter ana ett större livssammanhang.Genom den amerikanske poeten Ezra Pounds rekommendation publicerades Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man som följetong i tidskriften The Egoist 1914/15, innan den gavs ut i bokform året efter. I dag, hundra år efter att boken kom ut, räknas Ett porträtt av författaren som ung till världslitteraturens mest betydande självbiografiska texter. Boken rankades av Modern Library som 1900-talets 3:e bästa engelskspråkiga roman (med Joyces Ulysses som #1).En klassiker i egen rätt är Ebba Atterboms svenska översättning, som här återutges med ett nyskrivet förord av förläggaren och författaren Jonas Ellerström.JAMES JOYCE [1882-1941], irländsk författare, är en av den modernistiska litteraturens portalfigurer med verk som Dublinbor [Dubliners, 1914], Ett porträtt av författaren som ung [Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, 1916] och Odysseus [Ulysses, 1922].»Såväl det svenska förlaget som översättaren framstår även i ett internationellt perspektiv som pionjärer - när den svenska utgåvan låg färdig återstod ännu tre månader till dess att Sylvia Beach publicerade Ulysses på sitt förlag Shakespeare & Co i Paris och Joyce över en natt blev världsberömd.« Ur Jonas Ellerströms förord»James Joyce är en stilistisk mästare.« | Mattias Lahti Davidsson, Dagens bok

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.‘Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.’Autobiographical in tone, Joyce’s tale of Stephen Dedalus’ journey into adulthood explores the intellectual and moral development of an artist as he struggles to overcome the ingrained Catholic consciousness of his childhood – a family life governed by Irish history, religion and politics. Realistic and innovative in its approach, the style of writing proved controversial upon publication in 1916 and the character of Stephen on a quest for his identity did not appeal to readers.However, Joyce expertly encapsulates the development of individual consciousness and the role of the artist in society in what is considered one of his greatest works.

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.‘One by one they were all becoming shades. Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.’Revealing the truths and realities about Irish society in the early 20th century, Joyce’s Dubliners challenged the prevailing image of Dublin at the time. A group portrait made up of 15 short stories about the inhabitants of Joyce’s native city, he offers a subtle critique of his own town, imbuing the text with an underlying tone of tragedy. Through his various characters he displays the complicated relationships, hardships and mundane details of everyday life and the desire for escape – a yearning that so closely mirrored his own experiences.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.‘There was no doubt about it: if you wanted to succeed you had to go away. You could do nothing in Dublin.’From a child coming to terms with the death of a priest to a young woman torn between leading an uneventful life in Dublin and fleeing Ireland with her lover, these fifteen stories bring to life the day-to-day existence of ordinary Dubliners in the early years of the twentieth century. With brutal realism, Joyce lays bare the struggles and desires of the Irish middle classes in a compelling and unique exploration of human experience.Completed in 1905, Dubliners was published nine years later, thanks to the author’s persistence. It was the first of Joyce’s novels to portray his home city, and is a seminal work by one of the most influential authors of the modern era.

James Joyce's Dubliners is an enthralling collection of modernist short stories which create a vivid picture of the day-to-day experience of Dublin life. This Penguin Classics edition includes notes and an introduction by Terence Brown.Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. From 'The Sisters', a vivid portrait of childhood faith and guilt, to 'Araby', a timeless evocation of the inexplicable yearnings of adolescence, to 'The Dead', in which Gabriel Conroy is gradually brought to a painful epiphany regarding the nature of his existence, Joyce draws a realistic and memorable cast of Dubliners together in an powerful exploration of overarching themes. Writing of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, he creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing. He only returned to Ireland briefly from the continent but Dublin was at heart of his greatest works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. He lived in poverty until the last ten years of his life and was plagued by near blindness and the grief of his daughter's mental illness.If you enjoyed Dubliners, you might like Joyce's Ulysses, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'Joyce redeems his Dubliners, assures their identity, and makes their social existence appear permanent and immortal, like the streets they walk'Tom Paulin'Joyce's early short stories remain undimmed in their brilliance'Sunday Times

Playful and experimental, James Joyce's autobiographical A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a vivid portrayal of emotional and intellectual development. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Seamus Deane.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, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man 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.James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing.
