- Used Book in Good Condition
A masterpiece of modern fiction, James Joyceâ€™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 artistâ€™s life.

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