James Joyce was born on 2 February 1882 in Dublin. He studied modern languages at University College, Dublin. After graduating, Joyce moved to Paris for a brief period in 1902. In 1904 Joyce met Nora Barnacle, with whom he would spend the rest of his life and they moved to Europe and settled in Trieste where Joyce worked as a teacher. His first published work was a book of poems called Chamber Music (1907). This was followed by Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and the play Exiles (1918). In 1915 the First World War forced Joyce and Nora and their two children to move to Zürich. Joyce’s most famous novel, Ulysses, was published in Paris in 1922. In the same year he started work on his last great book, Finnegan’s Wake (1939). James Joyce died in Zürich on 13 January 1941.
Synopsis
Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this starting point, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness and depth. Unique in the history of literature, Ulysses is one of the most important and enjoyable works of the twentieth century.
After its first publication in Paris in 1922, Ulysses was published in Great Britain by The Bodley Head in 1936. These editions, as well as the subsequent resettings of 1960 in Great britain and of 1961 in the US, included an increasing number of transmission and printing errors. In 1977 a team of scholars, led by Professor Hans Walter Gabler, began to study manuscript evidence, typescripts and proofs in an attempt to reconstruct Joyce's creative process in order to come up with a more accurate text.
This edition uses the revised 1993 text of Gabler's version.
Reviews
Dirty, blasphemous and unreadable, or one of the greatest novels of the 20th century? No matter what your opinion of it, Ulysses has had a profound influence on modern fiction… Unforgettable - Guardian
Joyce I have loved ever since I first set eyes upon him. Ulysses is a magical work - Terry Wogan
Ulysses, with its comic-epic tapestry, took fiction deeper than ever into the raucous carnival of everyday life - Independent
Magnificent - John Banville
[The 1974 version] fixes 5,000 errors involving punctuation, omitted words, phrases, and even entire sentences’ - New York Times
The Odyssey, the Divine Comedy and Hamlet whisper their way through its pages: and Ulysses is their equal at every turn… - Simon Barnes The Times
[Gabler's edition is] a required object of study for every scholar working in English literature - Jerome McGann
The greatest novel of the century - Anthony Burgess Observer
Ulysses is a work of high genius - Independent, 1922
It is steeped and soaked in the rough life of Dublin city. It is, however, intensely alive, fundamentally Irish, full of Rabelaisian “humour” with a highly developed sense of time and a fantastic imaginative faculty - The Times
从《尤利西斯》出发,又朝着《尤利西斯》而去,这个回力镖式阅读散开去的路很远,一度以为自己回不来了。阅读这本书就像进入一个迷人的黑洞,让人感到没有终点,但如果时间允许,你愿意一点点探进去,但这持久战不是半年,是半生那种。 想着要读完这个大部头,心里还是有些没底...
评分在“1895-1939年的文学”一文中,Dyson将乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》而不是普鲁斯特的《追忆似水年华》推为文学现代派的首要典范:虽然就意识流和深邃而言,乔伊斯决不能与普鲁斯特比肩并立,但《尤利西斯》更加接近正常人类生活的中心。在Dyson笔下,现代派“首先是一种生活方式,其...
评分在西方文艺界有一个共识,最难读完的三部小说分别是:马尔克斯的《百年孤独》、普鲁斯特的《追忆似水年华》和乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》。许多读者兴致勃勃地买下这些经典名著,决心挑战自我,结果读不了几页便再也读不下去了,甚至对自己的阅读能力与文学品味产生怀疑。 一个“乱”...
评分如果你一天无所事事,推荐你去看《指环王》三部曲;如果你一星期无所事事,推荐你去旅游;如果你一个月无所事事,推荐你去打CS、仙剑、星际之类的电脑游戏;如果你一年无所事事,推荐你去读《尤利西斯》。 据说心理分析大师容格花了三年才读通此书,而译者萧乾也觉得读...
