James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde and is regarded as one of the most influential and important authors of the 20th century.

Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he utilised. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism and his published letters.

Joyce was born in 41 Brighton Square, Rathgar, Dublin—about half a mile from his mother's birthplace in Terenure—into a middle-class family on the way down. A brilliant student, he excelled at the Jesuit schools Clongowes and Belvedere, despite the chaotic family life imposed by his father's alcoholism and unpredictable finances. He went on to attend University College Dublin.

In 1904, in his early twenties, Joyce emigrated permanently to continental Europe with his partner (and later wife) Nora Barnacle. They lived in Trieste, Paris and Zurich. Though most of his adult life was spent abroad, Joyce's fictional universe centres on Dublin, and is populated largely by characters who closely resemble family members, enemies and friends from his time there. Ulysses in particular is set with precision in the streets and alleyways of the city. Shortly after the publication of Ulysses, he elucidated this preoccupation somewhat, saying, "For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal."

More books than I'll ever read

Reviewed in Australia on 8 February 2022

There are certainly more books than I will ever want to read in this collection, but it has been very handy in dipping in and out of famous books and looking them up and reading parts when I hear others mention them ....

Some good stuff, some things that make me wonder why anyone ever thought they were great

Reviewed in the United States on 9 October 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a nice selection of "great" - or at least enduring - literature. Some are quite entertaining, others bore the crap out of me. I mean, why would anyone want to read "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" or "Sons and Lovers" unless forced to, unless it's out of historical interest. It's good, I guess, to be able to judge things based on your own experience of them, and to have a comprehensive library, but ye gods I've wasted a lot of hours on some of these, waiting to find what makes them "great", and never finding it.

You can't get that time back, you know.
