DESCRIPTION:
The shy sibling Amazon Customer More on this later, perhaps, but here's a possible key. The body, the mind, the heart, and the soul are all siblings. The body speaks first with its hunger and longings and fears. The mind and the heart arrive soon after, and start a battle that dominates most of our life. Love, politics, religion, education, family - the nets. The soul is the last born and has the smallest voice (see Elijah in the cave), and is drowned out by all the other voices. Only by silencing those other voices - arresting them thr. "Worth Worth 3 stars in today’s context of novels but given 5 stars because of its classic value.

The greatest writer of Fiction in English,period. Precedes "Ulysses", his and our greatest Novel,but it is simpler and more accessible, but not less profound. My recommendation to the newcomer to J.

Each is brilliant, meticuously local to time and place, and at the same time, universal. The final story, "The Dead,"will stun you, move you. You may never forget.

Joyce is concerned at all costs to reveal the flickerings of that innermost flame which flashes its myriad message through the brain, he disregards with complete courage whatever seems to him adventitious, though it be probability or coherence or any other of the handrails to which we cling for support when we set our imaginations free.” –Virginia Woolf&l
This is, in effect, autobiography. In A Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man, Joyce describes the early life of Stephen Dedalus: significant memories from infancy, schooldays, family life, his first taste of sin, guilt, repentance—and his passage to freedom as he elects to leave Ireland for ever. The writing, though, displays the colour and imagination of the very finest fiction, in language which cries out to be read aloud.. Stephen is Joyce; every person he encounters and every incident he experiences, is drawn from life
