This carefully crafted ebook: “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man – The Original Book Edition of 1916” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. A novel written in Joyce’s characteristic free indirect speech style, A Portrait is a major example of the Künstlerroman (an artist’s Bildungsroman) in English literature. Joyce’s novel traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical awakening of young Stephen Dedalus as he begins to question and rebel against the Catholic and Irish conventions with which he has been raised. He finally leaves for abroad to pursue his ambitions as an artist. The work is an early example of some of Joyce’s modernist techniques that would later be represented in a more developed manner by Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. The novel, which has had a “huge influence on novelists across the world”, was ranked by Modern Library as the third greatest English-language novel of the 20th century. James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer’s Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he perfected. Other major works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His complete oeuvre also includes three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters.
