Book Description
"Don't you think there is a certain resemblance between the mystery of the Mass and what I am trying to do?...To give people some kind of intellectual pleasure or spiritual enjoyment by converting the bread of everyday life into something that has a permanent artistic life of its own."
-- James Joyce, in a letter to his brother
With these fifteen stories James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental. Whether writing about the death of a fallen priest ("The Sisters"), the petty sexual and fiscal machinations of "Two Gallants," or of the Christmas party at which an uprooted intellectual discovers just how little he really knows about his wife ("The Dead"), Joyce takes narrative places it had never been before.
The text of this edition has been newly edited by Hans Walter Gabler and Walter Hettche and is followed by a new afterword, chronology, and bibliography by John S. Kelly. Also included in a special appendix are the original versions of three stories as well as Joyce's long-suppressed Preface to Dubliners.
From Library Journal
Joyce's classic has been recorded before, of course, but in this new version, each of the 15 stories will be read by a different person, including writers Frank McCourt, Malachy McCourt, and Patrick McCabe, and actors Ciaran Hinds and Colm Meaney.

Joyce's first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.

Dubliners was completed in 1905, but a series of British and Irish publishers and printers found it offensive and immoral, and it was suppressed.The book finally came out in London in 1914, just as Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man began to appear in the journal Egoist under the auspices of Ezra Pound.The first three stories in Dubliners might be incidents from a draft of Portrait of the Artist , and many of the characters who figure in Ulysses have their first appearance here, but this is not a book of interest only because of its relationship to Joyce's life and mature work.It is one of the greatest story collections in the English language--an unflinching, brilliant, often tragic portrait of early twentieth-century Dublin.The book, which begins and ends with a death, moves from "stories of my childhood" through tales of public life.Its larger purpose, Joyce said, was as a moral history of Ireland.

《都柏林人》是20世纪爱尔兰著名作家、诗人詹姆斯·乔伊斯久负盛名的短篇小说集，1914年出版。作品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，是上上之品。

《尤利西斯》被誉为意识流小说的开山之作。作者乔伊斯一反传统的写作方法，使用极为怪诞的手法，展现发生在都柏林一天十八小时中的种种事情，每一小时写一章，最后一章描写女主人公的性心理，整章只有前后两个标点符号，堪称文学一绝。加以这部作品是否属淫书的争论，在西方曾两上法庭，解禁后其影响更大。2000年英美一些重要媒体，一致将《尤利西斯》列为20世纪世界最富影响的名著之一。

《尤利西斯》以时间为顺序，描述了三个普通的都柏林人于1904年6月16日一昼夜间的生活。乔伊斯将主人公布卢姆在都柏林街头的一日游荡比作奥德修斯的海外十年漂泊，通过描述一个普通人一天内发生的事件，把人的感官、欲望、言行刻画到极致，运用意识流的手法构建了一个交错凌乱的时空，向人们展示了人类社会的缩影。每年的6月16日被定为“布卢姆日”，是爱尔兰仅次于国庆日的大节日。

Written over a seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, this book has survived bowdlerization, legal action and controversy. The novel dea ls with the events of one day in Dublin, 16th June 1904, now known as "Bloomsday". The principal characters are Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly. "Ulysses" has been labelled dirty, blasphemous and unreadable.In a famous 1933 court decision, Judge John M. Woolsey declared it an emetic book - although he found it not quite obscene enough to disallow its importation into the United States - and Virginia Woolf was moved to decry James Joyce's "cloacal obsession". None of these descriptions, however, do the slightest justice to the novel. To this day it remains the modernist masterpiece, in which the author takes both Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. It is funny, sorrowful, and even (in its own way) suspenseful. And despite the exegetical industry that has sprung up in the last 75 years, "Ulysses" is also a compulsively readable book.

本书为爱尔兰作家、现代文学巨匠乔伊斯的书信选集，共收录近三百封书信。以乔伊斯漂泊一生所停留的几座城市为标志，结合他在文学上创作上取得的阶段性成果，分为五部分。
这些书信的主要内容有：给家人尤其是弟弟斯坦尼斯劳斯倾吐心中苦闷、生活拮据的家书，给赞助人解释说明《尤利西斯》、《芬尼根守灵》等作品创作缘由的信函，给叶芝、艾略特等同时代伟大作家的信件等等。悲愤主义者乔伊斯以几乎没有人读得懂的作品来抗衡黑暗，他洞烛幽微又倾情投入的生活、他高洁理想又污秽肉欲的爱情、他视若珍宝又心怀芥蒂的友谊、他只有面对家人才能完全放松的爱、他流着眼泪也要给儿女家人以庇护的执著，一封封信中都有详尽的倾诉。
