"Don't you think there is a certain resemblance between the mystery of the Mass and what I am trying to do?...To give people some kind of intellectual pleasure or spiritual enjoyment by converting the bread of everyday life into something that has a permanent artistic life of its own." -- James Joyce, in a letter to his brother With these fifteen stories James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental. Whether writing about the death of a fallen priest ("The Sisters"), the petty sexual and fiscal machinations of "Two Gallants," or of the Christmas party at which an uprooted intellectual discovers just how little he really knows about his wife ("The Dead"), Joyce takes narrative places it had never been before. The text of this edition has been newly edited by Hans Walter Gabler and Walter Hettche and is followed by a new afterword, chronology, and bibliography by John S. Kelly. Also included in a special appendix are the original versions of three stories as well as Joyce's long-suppressed Preface to Dubliners.
詹姆斯·乔伊斯(James Joyce,1882—1941),爱尔兰作家、诗人。1882年2月2日出生于都柏林,1941年1月13日卒于瑞士苏黎世。他是意识流文学的开山鼻祖,其长篇小说《尤利西斯》成为意识流文学的代表作,是二十世纪最伟大的小说之一。他一生颠沛流离,辗转于的里雅斯特、罗马、巴黎等地,多以教授英语和为报刊撰稿糊口,又饱受眼疾折磨,到晚年几乎完全失明。但他对文学矢志不渝,勤奋写作,终成一代巨匠。
什么是小说和什么是好的小说,这是两个问题。前者智者见者,而且可以有若干种分类,但对于后者,有而且只有一个本质用来衡量:洞察人性的幽微与复杂。伟大、卓越和经典的小说,在我看来,至少还有一个致命的因素:卓越的前瞻性。 《都柏林人》不仅符合这以上特质,且还有两个不...
评分大学时候翻过《尤利西斯》,五六十页的样子,没有耐性读完。日常生活中你留给别人的第一印象很关键,好恶常由此决定。读书,与作家相遇,也是这个道理。80年代生人大都不喜鲁迅,一定程度是学生时代逢先生作品必要背诵留下的阴影。初看《尤利西斯》,宛如天书,我甚至想自...
评分和许多准备阅读乔伊斯著名短篇小说集《都柏林人》[Dubliners] 的人一样,我的首选是《阿拉比》(Araby)。摄氏33度闷热的晨,在冷气充溢的KFC的角落,一口气读完了《阿拉比》原版。很自然地就想说点什么。小说鉴赏一般都可以从叙事视角、背景氛围、情节结构、人物塑造以及主题思...
