  James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was born on the 2nd February 1882 in Dublin into a middle-class family, and the eldest of ten surviving siblings 
  Admired as a brilliant student he briefly attended the Christian Brothers-run O'Connell School before excelling at the Jesuit schools of Clongowes and Belvedere.  From there he went on to attend University College Dublin from 1898, studying English, French and Italian 
  In 1902, Joyce was now in his early twenties, and went to Paris to study Medicine but soon abandoned his teachings.  Back in Dublin to attend to his dying Mother he met Nora Barnacle. They bonded immediately into a life-long match. Together they decided to emigrate to Europe.  The couple lived in Trieste, Rome, Paris, and finally Zürich where Joyce pursued a variety of jobs and ventures to supplement his literary pursuits but none of these paid off.  
  After publishing a poetry volume, ‘Chamber Music’, in 1907, his short story collection ‘The Dubliners’, in 1914, helped establish his talent in the rapidly changing world.  
  Although far from home Joyce’s literary heart and works were set in his recollections of Dublin.  Characters are close resemblances of family and friends and indeed enemies.  His landmark work ‘Ulysses’, published in 1922, is set in the streets and alleyways of the city as it parallels Homer’s Odyssey in a variety of styles including its famed stream of consciousness. 
  His pen continued to produce classics of the order of ‘A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man’ and ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ together with several volumes of poetry and a play ‘The Exiles, in 1918.   
  On the 11th January 1941, Joyce underwent surgery in Zürich for a perforated duodenal ulcer. The next day he fell into a coma. On the 13th after a brief period of lucidity in which he called for his wife and son he passed.  He was 58.

  I Pray You Will Be Safe - Two...

  The remarkable, year-long correspondence between two young women in the wake of October 7—a Palestinian from Gaza City and an Israeli from Sderot—who, through letters, developed an improbable friendship through faith, genuine curiosity, and a shared hope for peace and liberation, for readers of Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza and The Eyes of Gaza."Tala, I've been thinking about you constantly...I can't imagine what you've been through these past weeks. Are you safe?" "Michelle, I wish that I had the chance to know you better in different circumstances. I believe that it would be different." In early 2024, French journalist Dimitri Krier reached out to two young women: Tala Albanna, a twenty-year-old from Gaza City, Palestine; and Michelle Amzalak, a twenty-four-year-old from Sderot, Israel. Tala had never spoken to anyone from Israel; Michelle had never spoken to anyone from Gaza. Would they be willing to write to each other? Both women said yes. Over the course of a year and a half, Tala and Michelle opened up to each other about their faith, their families, and everything they'd ever wanted to say to someone on the other side of the divide, including their shared, unshakeable conviction that the bloodshed in Palestine served no one—and that, if history could be rewritten, they might have had a very different relationship. "Michelle, I wonder if you ever have questioned the validity of your state," Tala wrote, "...Please tell your people to stop stealing our humanity and let us determine our fate." "I write to you of the harder days, of extreme war escalations and personal struggles," Michelle wrote, "but the truth is it feels almost shameful to mention these things to you after reading how hard you are fighting just for basic survival." With the clear-eyed reflection of Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza and the uncompromising, on-the-ground testimony of The Eyes of Gaza, I PRAY YOU WILL BE SAFE memorializes the improbable, border-transcending friendship between two ordinary young women, brought together by their unflagging faith, uncommon empathy, and a fierce hope for a better future.
