This new edition comprises all the poetry that was published in Joyce's lifetime, including his highly accomplished 1907 debut \u003ci\u003eChamber Music\u003c\/i\u003e, which fused exuberant lyricism with sharp irony, and the later collection \u003ci\u003ePomes Penyeach\u003c\/i\u003e, which confronted adultery, jealousy and betrayal. Also included here are the satirical poems 'The Holy Office' and 'Gas from a Burner', and 'Ecce Puer', written for his new-born grandson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a new introduction and notes by Clare Hutton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eJames Joyce was born in Dublin on 2 February 1882, the eldest of ten children in a family which, after brief prosperity, collapsed into poverty. He was nonetheless educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, and displayed considerable academic and literary ability. Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all of his fiction. He is best known for his landmark novel \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e (1922) and its controversial successor \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e (1939), as well as the short story collection \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel \u003ci\u003eA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1916). James Joyce died in Zürich, on 13 January 1941.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), B-format paperback, Englisch, 144 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66147202629981,"sku":"K097237612","price":13.1,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/9723761200001A.jpg?v=1791444645","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/poems-james-joyce","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
