A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The fifteen stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.

The stories were written at the time when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They center on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character has a special moment of self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by children as protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity.

Critically acclaimed author James Joyce's Dubliners is a collection of short stories depicting middle-class life in Dublin in the early twentieth century. First published in 1914, the stories draw on themes relevant to the time such as nationalism and Ireland's national identity, and cement Joyce's reputation for brutally honest and revealing depictions of everyday Irish life.

Gens de Dublin

Gens de Dublin (Dubliners), est le plus populaire et le plus accessible des livres de James Joyce. Il y a dans ces textes une certaine compassion, et malgré l'apparente tristesse qui s'y étale, ne sont pas absents des éléments plus légers.

Il faut le lire, y découvrir la vie, simple, sans artifice, des gens, de leurs espoirs déçus à leurs joies, même si elles sont brèves. 

Les rencontrer à l'intérieur de leurs vies étriquées, sans perspective de bonheur. Ils semblent vouloir atteindre quelque chose, mais sont comme paralysés. Englués dans une atmosphère de corruption morale et matérielle.

« Ce livre n'est pas un recueil d'impressions touristiques, mais une tentative pour représenter certains aspects véridiques de la vie dans une des capitales d'Europe ». C'est ainsi que Joyce présente son manuscrit. 

« C'est un chapitre de l'histoire morale de l'Irlande. Comme cela, le peuple irlandais pourra une fois au moins bien se regarder dans le beau miroir que j'ai préparé pour lui », écrit-il également.

La première édition de Chamber Music est parue en 1907 selon un agencement des poèmes effectué par les soins de Stanislaus Joyce, le frère de James.Néanmoins l'agencement initial avait un sens très particulier, et c'est ce dernier que nous avons repris ici tel que conçu par Joyce en 1905.Joyce avait une intention tout à fait précise et la révélation de son projet originel donne à ses poèmes une place plus cohérente dans l'ensemble du corpus joycien.Il s'agit là d'un parfait petit roman : de la naissance de l'amour, de sa portée spirituelle à sa réalisation charnelle qui conduira, la passion déclinant, à une possible amitié nouvelle entre les amants, à une nostalgique et tendre fraternité.(Bilingual edition)
