Produktbeschreibung
This antiquarian book contains "Stephen Hero", a part of the first draft of James Joyce's seminal book, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". This manuscript was offered for sale in 1935 by the first publisher of "Ulysses"; Miss Sylvia Beach, in her Parisian bookshop 'Shakespeare and Company'. "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" is a famous autobiographical novel written by Joyce and published posthumously. It traces the intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, the fictional alter ego of Joyce about whom H. G. Wells once wrote: "one believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in fiction.'' Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Autorenporträt
James Joyce was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1882 and is considered one of the most influential modernist writers of the 20th century. He studied at University College Dublin, where he developed his interest in literature, philosophy, and languages. His early works, including Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, established his reputation as a groundbreaking writer who explored themes of identity, exile, and human consciousness.Joyce spent much of his adult life in self-imposed exile, living in cities such as Paris, Zurich, and Trieste. During this period, he completed his most famous work, Ulysses (1922), which revolutionized the modern novel with its stream-of-consciousness technique and intricate structure. Although controversial and banned in several countries for its explicit content, Ulysses became a landmark of literary innovation and remains a key text in the modernist canon.His final major work, Finnegans Wake (1939), further pushed the boundaries of language and narrative complexity. Joyce's innovative use of language, his deep engagement with Irish identity, and his examination of the inner workings of the mind have cemented his legacy as one of the great literary figures of the 20th century. He died in Zurich in 1941.
