书籍简介

长篇小说《青年艺术家的画像》有强烈的自传色彩，主要描写都柏林青年斯蒂芬·迪达勒斯如何试图摆脱妨碍他的发展的各种影响——家庭束缚、宗教传统和狭隘的民族主义情绪，去追求艺术与美的真谛。乔伊斯通过斯蒂芬·迪达勒斯的故事，实际上提出了艺术家与社会、与生活的关系问题，并且饶有趣味地揭示了这样一个事实：斯蒂芬·迪达勒斯本人恰恰就是他力图逃避的都柏林世界所造就的，都柏林无形中报复了反叛的青年艺术家。

本书附有朗顿-哈默（Langdon Hammer）导读

A masterpiece of modern fiction, James Joyce’s semiautobiographical first novel follows Stephen Dedalus, a sensitive and creative youth who rebels against his family, his education, and his country by committing himself to the artist’s life.

“I will not serve,” vows Dedalus, “that in which I no longer believe…and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can.” Likening himself to God, Dedalus notes that the artist “remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.” Joyce’s rendering of the impressions of childhood broke ground in the use of language. “He took on the almost infinite English language,” Jorge Luis Borges said once. “He wrote in a language invented by himself....Joyce brought a new music to English.” A bold literary experiment, this classic has had a huge and lasting influence on the contemporary novel.

作者简介

詹姆斯·乔伊斯（James Joyce，1882—1941），爱尔兰作家，主要作品包括：短篇小说集《都柏林人》，长篇小说《一个青年艺术家的画像》、《尤利西斯》、《芬尼根的守灵夜》。兰登书屋“现代文库”评选二十世纪百部英文小说，乔伊斯这三部长篇小说全部入选。

Born in Dublin, Ireland, James Joyce (1882–1941) studied philosophy and languages at the Dublin College of the Royal University. He left Ireland in 1902 and went to Paris, but upon learning that his mother was dying, he returned to Dublin in 1903. After his mother’s death, Joyce taught school in Dublin and met Nora Barnacle, the woman who would be his lifelong companion. Joyce and Nora left Ireland in 1904 and traveled to Trieste, where Joyce taught languages at the Berlitz School. An attack of rheumatic fever in 1907 caused his vision to worsen throughout his life. Apart from one trip back to Dublin in 1912, Joyce spent the rest of his life on the Continent. Wealthy patrons subsidized his writing, and Joyce became the most influential novelist of the twentieth century. His writings include Chamber Music (1907), Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Exiles (1918), Ulysses (1922), Pomes Penyeach (1927), and Finnegans Wake (1939).
