Gens de Dublin
Un roman de James Joyce
(Author) James JoyceLes quinze nouvelles de ce recueil, construites autour de Dublin, au plutôt des , nous montrent des personnes ternes menant des vies qui ne le sont pas moins, non exemptes de violence, de bassesse ni de vulgarité, dans une ville paralysée et paralysante, en 1914. Chaque nouvelle est contruite en fonction d'une «épiphanie», toujours exprimée dans la dernière phrase, qui décrit une soudaine prise de conscience de l'«âme» de quelque chose, la mise en évidence de l'absurde, la manifestation sentencieuse du fait que l'ordre social est intangible, et que, sauf à tomber dans la déchéance ou le ridicule, mieux vaut prendre conscience que la vie est ailleurs...
James Joyce
James Joyce was an Irish writer known for his innovative and complex writing style. His most notable works include "Dubliners," "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," "Ulysses," and "Finnegans Wake." Joyce's stream-of-consciousness technique and use of interior monologue revolutionized modernist literature. His works often explore themes of alienation, identity, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. "Ulysses," considered his masterpiece, is a groundbreaking novel that follows the events of a single day in Dublin, paralleling Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey." Joyce's unique narrative techniques and experimental prose have had a profound influence on the development of the modern novel.
