Ce curieux et émouvant petit ouvrage a été écrit par Joyce à Trieste, alors qu'il allait commencer Ulysse et venait de terminer Portrait de l'artiste adolescent. Le héros porte le nom de Joyce et raconte l'histoire de ses amours avec l'une de ses étudiantes d'anglais, une jeune patricienne juive, très belle, qu'il aperçoit de loin à l'opéra. L'idylle se développe dans une écriture soignée, précieuse, à travers des petits tableaux, des réflexions, pour se terminer en pleine hallucination.

Giacomo Joyce

Ceux qui venaient de recevoir, en lisant Ulysse, le choc de la révélation d'une oeuvre géniale demeurèrent stupéfaits à la lecture de ces quinze nouvelles, si sages, si classiques, si claires. Ce n'était point encore «le flux de la conscience» mais l'exploration intérieure de thèmes et de personnages chers à Joyce, en un livre qui résume les stades de la vie individuelle et collective de la cité de Dublin : l'enfance, l'adolescence, la maturité et la vie publique. Joyce mit plus de sept ans (de 1907 à 1914) pour convaincre les censeurs anglais que les précisions sexuelles d'«Une rencontre» et des «Deux galants», ou que l'hommage à Parnell dans «On se réunira le 6 octobre», étaient des audaces légitimes, que contre-balancent d'ailleurs dans «Les Morts», ou même dans un récit tout simple comme «Eveline», la puissance transmutatrice du regard et le don vertigineux de soi, qui sont la marque du poète. Nul ne lira sans gratitude la préface de Valery Larbaud, chef-d'oeuvre de finesse et de lucidité prophétique.

"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.

Ulysse II

During the Irish Revival Mrs. Kearney decides to earn her family a higher social position by means of her daughter and obtains for her a contract to play a series of piano concerts. When the concerts are not as successful as Mrs. Kearney expected, she suddenly becomes concerned with the money owed to her for her daughter's work. 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.

"Je ne voudrais la manquer pour rien au monde, miss livrie de la nerthe" [anthologie

Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo...

His father told him that story: his father looked at him through a glass: he had a hairy face.

He was baby tuckoo. The moocow came down the road where Betty Byrne lived: she sold lemon platt.

O, the wild rose blossoms

On the little green place.

He sang that song. That was his song.

O, the green wothe botheth.

When you wet the bed first it is warm then it gets cold. His mother put on the oilsheet. That had the queer smell.

His mother had a nicer smell than his father. She played on the piano the sailor's hornpipe for him to dance. He danced:

Tralala lala,

Tralala tralaladdy,

Tralala lala,

Tralala lala.

Uncle Charles and Dante clapped. They were older than his father and mother but uncle Charles was older than Dante.

Dante had two brushes in her press. The brush with the maroon velvet back was for Michael Davitt and the brush with the green velvet back was for Parnell. Dante gave him a cachou every time he brought her a piece of tissue paper.

The Vances lived in number seven. They had a different father and mother. They were Eileen's father and mother. When they were grown up he was going to marry Eileen. He hid under the table. His mother said:

-O, Stephen will apologize.

Dante said:

-O, if not, the eagles will come and pull out his eyes.-

Pull out his eyes,

Apologize,

Apologize,

Araby - Short Story

Un petit nuage et autres nouvelles

The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest of identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of his family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a testament to the artist's "eternal imagination".
