Entretien avec Adolf Hoffmeister

James Joyce est peut-être l'écrivain qui a concentré plus que tout autre son oeuvre autour de lui-même et des circonstances de sa vie. Stephen le héros est ce qui reste d'une première autobiographie.Stephen est l'auteur lui-même, et ce récit couvre ses deux années d'université à Dublin. Lui et ses amis se passionnent pour tout ce qui a trait à l'art, à la littérature, à l'amour. Nous voyons aussi Joyce s'indigner de la paralysie spirituelle des Irlandais et de l'ineptie de l'Église catholique d'Irlande.Stephen le héros est nécessaire pour comprendre celui qui allait devenir l'auteur d'Ulysse, et l'un des écrivains majeurs de la littérature universelle.

The Sisters - Short Story

"ملحمة القرن العشرين" هذه كما سميت، في غاية الصعوبة، ومغاليقها مستغلقة لدرجة اليأس واﻹحباط وانقطاع النفس مرة بعد مرة، العزاء الوحيد أن القارئ اﻹنجليزي ليس أكثر حظًا.لتكن هذهِ الرواية- الاعجوبة امتحانًا لقدرتك على الصبر و الجلد، و اختبارًا لقدرتك على الاصغاء الكامل و بكافة الحواس، إنها مثل مرافبة نمو نبتة، عملية بطيئة بلا شك، أي أنكَ لا تستطيع أن تقرأها دفعة واحدة أو بدفعات كبار فتصاب بالتخمة، لا مفر من التعامل مع هذهِ الرواية على أنها مثل مركبات الأدوية، الاكثار منها قد يؤدي إلى عطبك، قراءة مقطع، التأمل فيه، التمعن في أبعاده، ثم إعادة قراءته مرات ومرات. لا يمكن الانتقال إلى مقطع آخر دون التأكد من هضم المقطع اﻷول وتمثله. أي أن هذه الرواية تتطلب تغييرًا أساسيًا في العادات التي تعودناها في القراءة سابقًا، لابد للقارئ الذي وطن نفسه على قراءتها من تخصيص وقت ينقطع فيه إليها انقطاعًا كاملًا، كما لابد له من اﻹطلاع على أدويسة هوميروس بالدرجة اﻷولى، وعلى التوراة واﻹنجيل، وقصص "أهالي دبلن" القصيرة لجيمس جويس نفسه.

Gens de Dublin

THERE was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke. Night after night I had passed the house (it was vacation time) and studied the lighted square of window: and night after night I had found it lighted in the same way, faintly and evenly. If he was dead, I thought, I would see the reflection of candles on the darkened blind for I knew that two candles must be set at the head of a corpse. He had often said to me: "I am not long for this world, " and I had thought his words idle. Now I knew they were true.
