具體描述
Joyce 專傢、Gifford 教授作序。 Although James Joyce left Ircland as a
young man and spent the vast majority
of his adult life on the Continent, all his
books have Ireland as their geographical
center. When asked near the end of his life if
he ever intended to return to Ireland, Joyce
responded truthfully, "Have I ever left it?"
Here, in one volume, are Joycc s two most
widely read and accessible books, Dubiiners
and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young
Man. The fifteen short stories collected in
Dubliners can be regarded as separate and
independent entities, but they can also be
considered as parts of a larger whole, rein-
forcing and illuminating each other, func-
tioning as pieces of a mosaic that moves
like a novel from childhood to adulthood.
At the center of this mosaic is Dublin itself,
chosen by Joyce because, in his own words,
"that city seemed to me the center of paral-
ysis." Even the geographical construction of
the stories suggests this. The opening sto-
ries involve motion toward the east, toward
an escape from the paralysis. But in the bal-
ance of the stories this eastward motion
gives way to a concentration toward the
center of Dublin--a gradual tightening ot
the noose.
