Description
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Centennial Edition is a beautifully crafted novel by James Joyce, published for its centennial. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition features a foreword by Karl Ove Knausgaard, author of the six-volume autobiographical novel My Struggle.
The novel tells the story of Stephen Dedalus, from his early days at Clongowes Wood College to his questioning of all convention. In doing so, it provides an oblique self-portrait of the young Joyce himself, exploring questions of origin and source, authority and authorship, and the relationship of an artist to his family, culture, and race.
This edition is the definitive text, authorized by the Joyce estate and collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author's original wishes. With its exuberant style and beautiful orchestration of patterns, it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in literary innovation and the search for artistic identity.
