"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" Joyce / Masayoshi Osawa Price: ¥900 + tax (¥990) First edition, June 2007 The protagonist shows off his youthful antics in various places. Joyce skillfully depicts the growth process of a young man, matching the changes in emotions and consciousness from childhood to youth, manipulating the style. Departure from a closed situation and the start as an artist - music sometimes flows in this work, and the comedic spirit that connects to "Ulysses" and others lives on. New translation. James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (February 2, 1882 – January 13, 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered one of the most important writers of the 20th century. He is best known for his groundbreaking novel "Ulysses" (1922), and other major works include the short story collection "Dubliners" (1914), "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" (1916), and "Finnegans Wake" (1939). Joyce spent most of his life abroad after his youth, but the setting of all of Joyce's novels and many of their themes are based on his experiences in Ireland. His world of work is rooted in Dublin, reflecting his family life, student days, and friends (and enemies). Therefore, among all the great modernists in the English-speaking world, Joyce occupies the unique position of being the most cosmopolitan and the most local writer. ＊Mainly dealing with popular works and out-of-print paperback editions.
