A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - The Original Book Edition of 1916

James Joyce

Sinopse

In 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,' James Joyce delivers a profound exploration of identity and self-formation through the life of Stephen Dedalus. This semi-autobiographical narrative employs a stream-of-consciousness technique, intricately capturing the nuances of Stephen's thoughts and feelings as he navigates the complexities of youth, religion, and artistic ambition in late 19th-century Dublin. Joyce's rich, lyrical prose navigates the intersection of personal and cultural evolution, situating Stephen within both the constraints and possibilities of his environment, ultimately representing a broader quest for authenticity and artistic expression. James Joyce, a pivotal figure in modernist literature, draws heavily from his own experiences growing up in a constrained Irish society. His educational background and tumultuous relationship with his Catholic upbringing inform the themes of rebellion and self-realization that permeate the text. Published in 1916, this work serves as a cornerstone in Joyce's oeuvre, laying the groundwork for his later masterpieces while reflecting the burgeoning Modernist movement that sought to redefine narrative form and content. Readers seeking to delve into the intricacies of the human psyche and the evolution of artistic consciousness will find 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' an invaluable literary companion. Joyce's innovative style and thematic depth not only illuminate the struggles of an artist's emergence but also resonate with universal questions about identity, making it a timeless read for those interested in the foundations of modern literature.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
