After ten long years spent away from Dublin, Richard, Bertha and their young illegitimate son Archie are back home. Despite expectations of comfort and domesticity, the couple's return to the place where they first met triggers an existential questioning, an anxiousness which is exacerbated by meetings with old friends and lovers. James Joyce's only surviving play, Exiles builds upon one of his most famous short stories, 'The Dead', to provide a profound exploration of jealousy, doubt and the complexity of human desire.

Exiles

Nel 2011 ricorre il settantesimo anniversario della morte di James Joyce, ma per i lettori e gli scrittori di tutto il mondo l'autore dell'Ulisse e di Gente di Dublino è più vivo che mai, come dimostra il successo del Bloomsday, la commemorazione che, da più di mezzo secolo a questa parte, il 16 giugno di ogni anno vede svolgersi eventi in suo onore in centinaia di città. Minimum fax ha scelto a sua volta di rendere omaggio a Joyce con una raccolta di citazioni, per la curatela di Federico Sabatini, che, spaziando dalla narrativa ai saggi alle lettere, offrono per la prima volta una panoramica completa e accessibile del suo pensiero sull'arte di scrivere: riflessioni sul processo creativo, sulle tecniche di narrazione, sul mercato editoriale, sul ruolo dello scrittore, nonché preziose osservazioni critiche sulla propria opera e quella altrui. Molto più agile da consultare rispetto a un manuale accademico, ma altrettanto ricco nei contenuti, Scrivere pericolosamente è un libro adatto al pubblico degli studenti e degli studiosi così come a quello dei semplici appassionati di letteratura e scrittura: ed è il perfetto complemento saggistico alle opere narrative di un grande classico del Novecento.

Scrivere pericolosamente. Riflessioni su vita, arte, letteratura

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

It is only James Joyce's towering genius as a novelist that has led to his comparative neglect as a poet. And yet his poems not only occupy a pivotal position in Joyce's career, they are also magnificently assured achievements in their own right. 'Chamber Music' is an extraordinary début, fusing a broad swathe of styles with characteristically sharp irony and joyful verbal exuberance. 'Pomes Penyeach' confronts painful personal issues of adultery, jealousy and betrayal and so paves the way for the more detached and fully realized treatment of these feelings in Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses. Also included here is 'Ecce Puer', written for his new-born grandson, as well as juvenilia, satires, translations, limericks and a parody of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Poems

Dublineses es una colección de quince relatos cortos del escritor irlandés James Joyce. Tras diversas vicisitudes, se publicó en 1914. Los quince relatos constituyen una representación realista, y aun naturalista, en ocasiones sutilmente burlona, de las clases media y baja irlandesas, en el Dublín de los primeros años del siglo XX.

Joyce's fictionalized autobiographical love story is presented together with textual and documentary notes.

Giacomo Joyce

Traduit pour la première fois dans sa version intégrale, Finnegans Wake, œuvre rebelle, s'exprime par épiphanies, telles que définies dans Ulysse - c'est-à-dire ces instants où les mots comme des photons reconstituent la figure d'interférence, visible seulement dans sa frange brillante. Pour certains, la révolution est à peine suffisante. Ils partent, hantent les asiles dont ils font une bibliothèque, habitent les prisons où flotte le feu de leurs rêves, créent un pseudo-langage qui n'est plus entendu mais reconnu de leurs seuls semblables. Errants jusqu'à l'inconsistance, telle la révolutionnaire russe Alexandra Kollontaï : «... Comme j'aimais Kuusa en septembre... l'odeur des pins et, comme des toiles d'araignées tendues entre eux, les nuages chargés de rosée, au matin.»Philippe Lavergne.
