书籍简介

《都柏林人》（Dubliners）是詹姆斯·乔伊斯久负盛名的短篇小说集，称得上20世纪整个西方知名的短篇小说集了。1914年出版，置景于二三十年代的都柏林，截取中下层人民生活的横断面，一个片刻一群人，十五个故事汇集起来，宛若一幅印象主义的绘画，笔触简练，错落成篇，浮现出苍凉世态，遥远、清冷，然而精致。

这15篇故事，以写实和讽刺的表现手法描绘了二十世纪初期都柏林中下阶层的生活，瘫痪和死亡贯穿全书。在同样的底色上，《一个青年艺术家的肖像》集中描绘了一个忧郁敏感、在浓郁的宗教氛围中成长起来、具有艺术家气质的青年形象。通过青年之口，乔伊斯表达了自己对宗教、艺术和人生的观点。后来，这个青年继续成长，走进了意识流宏篇《尤利西斯》之中。因此，阅读此书，将有助于阅读《尤利西斯》。

百年纪念版 詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《都柏林人》可能是英语中最伟大的短篇小说集，它既生动而坚定地描绘了 20 世纪初“肮脏的都柏林”，又描绘了一个“黄金时代”已逝去的国家和人民的道德史。

他塑造的人物形象丰富多彩，既具有浓厚的爱尔兰特色，又具有十足的普遍性，可能会永远萦绕在读者心头。乔伊斯以引人入胜的文字描绘了丰富的意象，深入到他出生的城市的中心，捕捉了都柏林人说话的节奏，以极为逼真的方式描绘了他们的内心生活。

这部由 15 个故事组成的宏伟故事集展现了乔伊斯平易近人、也许深刻的一面。

由埃德娜·奥布莱恩撰写的序言和马拉奇·麦考特撰写的后记

Centennial Edition Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce's "Dubliners "is both a vivid and unflinching portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century and a moral history of a nation and a people whose "golden age" has passed. His richly drawn characters--at once intensely Irish and utterly universal--may forever haunt the reader. In mesmerizing writing that evokes rich imagery, Joyce delves into the heart of the city of his birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners' speech in remarkably realistic portrayals of their inner lives. This magnificent collection of fifteen stories reveals Joyce at his most accessible and perhaps most profound. With an Introduction by Edna O'Brien and an Afterword by Malachy McCourt

作者简介

詹姆斯·乔伊斯（James Joyce，1882－1941），爱尔兰诗人、作家。后现代主义文学的开山鼻祖，其代表作《尤利西斯》、《一个青年艺术家的画像》、《芬尼根的守灵夜》和《都柏林人》在世界文学史上占有举足轻重的地位。前三部作品均入选兰登书屋评选的“20世纪一百本优秀英文小说”。乔伊斯一生颠沛流离，辗转于欧洲各地，靠教授英语和写作糊口，晚年饱受眼疾之痛，几近失明。但他一生坚持文学创作，终成一代巨匠。

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). Edna O'Brien is the author of "The Love Object," "A Scandalous Woman," "A Rose in the Heart," "A Fanatic Heart," "The Country Girls Trilogy," "The High Road," and "Lantern Slides." Irish born, she lives in London. Malachy McCourt was born in Brooklyn and from the age of three was raised in Limerick, Ireland. He left school at the age of thirteen to begin work in Ireland and England as a laborer. He returned to the U.S. at twenty and worked as a longshoreman and a dishwasher until he became an actor, appearing in numerous Broadway and off-Broadway plays, soap operas, films, and TV shows, including the HBO prison series, "Oz," as well as hosting a radio talk show and writing a newspaper column. Among his numerous books are "Singing My Him Song," "Danny Boy," "Voices of Ireland," "Malachy McCourt's History of Ireland," and the" New York Times" bestselling memoir "A Monk Swimming."
