Dans chacune de ces nouvelles, Joyce entend présenter la capitale irlandaise au monde, décrire cette ville qui s'est effacée de la mémoire collective, et participer ainsi à la libération spirituelle de l'Irlande.

Gens de Dublin

Joyce et la poésie. Nous avons déjà proposé une traduction nouvelle de ses poèmes et surtout, rétablissant l'ordre originel de Chamber Music, montré la cohérence de l'ensemble de l'oeuvre joycienne. De nombreux lecteurs demeurent surpris que l'audacieux auteur d'Ulysse et de Finnegans Wake ait écrit des poèmes si conventionnels". Il se trouve que son dernier livre contient, justement, quelques poèmes. Proposer une traduction autonome de ces poèmes c'est autant montrer que Joyce put manifester la même invention langagière dans ses vers, que proposer une introduction à l'ensemble de l'ouvrage. Dans Finnegans Wake, plus que dans aucun autre livre, la partie contient le tout, c'est là son enjeu. Les allusions, références et prétextes de l'ensemble se "glissent" dans la plupart des séquences verbales. De La Ballade de Persse O'Reilly, concernant le personnage du père, aux vers concernant la mère ou les jumeaux, tout le paysage (sémantique-sonore) quotidien, narratif, historique, mythologique, érotique, politique, scientifique, subjectif, etc du Wake y résonne. Ainsi, interpréter ces poèmes et les commenter, c'est entrer dans l'intégralité du livre et des livres de Joyce. Reprendre le sillon de ce rêve éveillé et merveilleux. Ce à quoi Joyce nous convie.

Araby - Short Story

Exils, seule pièce de Joyce qui ait survécu, recèle des trésors. Véritable laboratoire donnant accès au coeur de l'oeuvre, elle explore hardiment la cruauté et la jalousie des amants. jouant sur la structure du marivaudage classique - deux hommes et deux femmes se trouvent pris clans un quadrille où la tromperie le dispute à la franchise la plus crue -, elle interroge sans relâche la relation amoureuse. Annonçant le théâtre de Beckett et de Pinter, la pièce ne conclut jamais. Une vertigineuse spirale d'introspection et de questionnements de plus en plus angoissés amène à poser la question ultime : que veut dire se donner à quelqu'un ?

The Boarding House - Short Story

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.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. 

A Künstlerroman in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology.
