Ceaselessly inventive, hilarious, garrulous, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive, it is simultaneously a great novel, a beacon light of the European avant-garde and a modern Irish epic. This new edition has been reset from the original 1922 text, which is now recognized as a key scholarly and historical document.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Language is the hero and heroine - language in constant fluxion, and with a dazzling virtuosity' Edna O'Brien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited with a new introduction by Andrew Gibson.\u003c\/p\u003e\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).
