James Joyce Dubliňané / Dubliners CZ
Povídková sbírka Jamese Joyce Dubliňané ve své době vyvolávala kontroverze a na vydání v roce 1914 si musela počkat celých sedm let – autorovo živé a zároveň střídmé pozorování života dublinských chudých vrstev, nekonvenční témata, obhroublý jazyk a zmínky o skutečných lidech i místech řadu nakladatelů odradily. Dnes však na Joycových příbězích obdivujeme pronikavý a dokonale provedený rozbor soudobého života a…

Dazzlingly inventive, with passages of great lyrical beauty and much humour, Finnegans Wake remains one of the most remarkable…

Krasopisně nasaný rukopis Giacomo Joyce byl objeven v Joyceově pozůstalosti jeho bratrem a poprvé uveřejněn více než dvacet let po autorově smrti, v 60. letech. Byla to literární senzace. Text je jakýmsi silně stylizovaným deníkem autorovy erotické fantazie a byl napsán v době před první světovou válkou, kdy Joyce pobýval v italském Terstu. Je to báseň v próze, vynikající zjitřenou poetičností a mystickým zaujetím,…
