The Paris Residences of James Joyce
This book presents a narrative and photographic journey of the hotels and apartments where James Joyce lived for twenty years in 1920s and 1930s Paris. In June 1920, at the age of 38, the Irish author sought a city where he could finish Ulysses—one of the finest literary works in history. He arrived in Paris on the recommendation of Ezra Pound on 8 July and stayed for 20 years. With Nora, fifteen-year-old Giorgio and thirteen-year-old Lucia, he moved in and out of 18 residences in five arrondissements in Paris. Which arrondissements did he prefer? Which residence was the first place with the luxury of a telephone? Who did he entertain, and where was he most productive and creative? This book is both a guide for the armchair wanderer and a roadmap for Joyce aficionados in Paris. It provides new insights into Joyce’s life in Paris, based around the changing locations, styles, and sizes of his residences, depending upon the fluctuations of his finances. This book is a rich collection of information about each residence with an historical account of the duration, cost, lifestyle, and cultural atmosphere amid the significance of the social times.

Consuming Joyce
"This book was crying out to be written." The Irish Times "Scandalously readable." Literary Review James Joyce's relationship with his homeland was a complicated and often vexed one. The publication of his masterwork Ulysses - referred to by The Quarterly Review as an "Odyssey of the sewer" - in 1922 was initially met with indifference and hostility within Ireland. This book tells the full story of the reception of Joyce and his best-known book in the country of his birth for the first time; a reception that evolved over the next hundred years, elevating Joyce from a writer reviled to one revered. Part reception study, part social history, this book uses the changing interpretations of Ulysses to explore the concurrent religious, social and political changes sweeping Ireland. From initially being a threat to the status quo, Ulysses became a way to market Ireland abroad and a manifesto for a better, more modern, open and tolerant, multi-ethnic country.

James Joyce
Though he published just a handful of major works in his lifetime, James Joyce (1882-1941) continues to fascinate readers around the world and remains one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century.

This literary companion guides readers through his four major works--Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake--with chapter-by-chapter discussions and critical inquiry. An A to Z format covers the works, people, history and context that influenced his writing. Appendices summarize notable Joycean literary criticism and biography, and also discuss significant films based on his work.
Von der georgianischen Ära bis zum Zeitalter des keltischen Tigers
James Joyces Ulysses (1922), ein Meisterwerk der irischen Literatur, gilt im Allgemeinen als größter und bekanntester Dublinroman. Diese Studie legt das Augenmerk jedoch auch auf die vor Ulysses publizierten Stadtrepräsentationen, die wieder vergessenen Werke des 20. Jahrhunderts und die erst nach der Jahrtausendwende veröffentlichten Dublinromane. Im Rahmen der Analyse dieser vielfältigen Literaturbeispiele wird sowohl der Wandel der Stadtdarstellung über die Zeit als auch die enge Verbindung der Begriffe "urbaner Raum" und "Identität" im speziellen irischen Kontext aufgezeigt.
Dubliners 100. Quindici voci d'Irlanda, la nuova Gente di Dublino
A cent'anni dalla pubblicazione di Dubliners di James Joyce – la più importante raccolta di racconti del Novecento europeo – minimum fax presenta un'opera polifonica che lo celebra, riunendo le migliori penne dell'Irlanda contemporanea. Giovani e meno giovani, talentuosi esordienti e consacrati autori di bestseller, le Quindici voci d'Irlanda si confrontano con il capolavoro joyciano che si fa pretesto, spunto, suggestione per dar voce alla nuova Gente di Dublino. La paralisi, il desiderio di fuga, il profondo senso di stagnazione e la frustrazione dei Dubliners di Joyce proiettano la loro luce obliqua sull'odierna vicenda esistenziale dell'«isola di smeraldo» e del suo popolo ferito, scosso dalla violenta perdita d'identità e da un profondo senso di regressione, isolamento ed esclusione. Come un secolo fa, la nuova Gente di Dublino parla ancora oggi all'Europa dalla prospettiva, paradigmatica e paradossalmente privilegiata, degli «esclusi dal banchetto della vita».
