Controversial, scandalous, erudite and funny, Ulysses is undisputedly a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day – 16th June 1904 – in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin: the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus and Bloom’s wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts and encounters form the basis of the narrative, which becomes a celebration of all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time. Ulysses is both an experimental novel and a book intimately concerned with the events of modern life. A lively repository of literary allusion and colloquial realism, this dazzlingly innovative, ambitious novel is here presented in its 1939 Odyssey Press version, which is regarded as the most accurate text published in Joyce’s lifetime. This edition also includes over 9,000 notes by Joyce scholars Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian and John Turner. James Joyce Born in Dublin, James Joyce (1882–1941) spent most of his life abroad, living in Trieste, Paris and Zurich.

In the hustle and bustle of today''s busy world, sometimes it''s hard enough to hear yourself think, much less take a minute to stop and listen for the voice of God. But learning to recognize God''s voice and the many ways in which He speaks is vital for following His plan. In HOW TO HEAR FROM GOD, Joyce Meyer shows readers that God reaches out to people every day, seeking a partnership with them to offer guidance and love. She reveals the ways in which God delivers His word and the benefits of asking God for the sensitivity to hear His voice. Joyce asks the question, "Are you listening?" and shares how to do just that.

From New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard comes the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her beloved novel Count the Ways—a complex, multigenerational family saga about three generations of a family and its remarkable, resilient, indomitable matriarch, Eleanor. Following the death of her former husband, Cam, fifty-four-year-old Eleanor has moved back to the New Hampshire farm where they raised three children to care for their brain-injured son, Toby, now an adult. Toby’s older brother, Al, is married and living in Seattle with his wife; their sister, Ursula, lives in Vermont with her husband and two children. Although all appears stable, old resentments, anger, and bitterness simmer just beneath the surface in this powerful example of family life fiction. How the Light Gets In follows Eleanor and her family through fifteen years (2010 to 2024) as their story plays out against a uniquely American backdrop and the events that transform their world (climate change, the January 6th insurrection, school violence) and shape their lives in this moving work of contemporary women's fiction (later-life love, parental alienation, steadfast friendship). With her trademark sensitivity and insight, Joyce Maynard paints an indelible portrait of characters both familiar and new making their way over rough, messy, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

James Joyce''s Dubliners is an enthralling collection of modernist short stories which create a vivid picture of the day-to-day experience of Dublin life. This Penguin Classics edition includes notes and an introduction by Terence Brown.Joyce''s first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. From ''The Sisters'', a vivid portrait of childhood faith and guilt, to ''Araby'', a timeless evocation of the inexplicable yearnings of adolescence, to ''The Dead'', in which Gabriel Conroy is gradually brought to a painful epiphany regarding the nature of his existence, Joyce draws a realistic and memorable cast of Dubliners together in an powerful exploration of overarching themes. Writing of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, he creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing.

Published to mark the reopening of the spectacular baroque interior of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich after a landmark conservation project, The Painted Hall is a wonderful celebration of what has been called ‘the Sistine Chapel of the UK’. The ceiling and wall decorations of the Painted Hall were conceived and executed by the artist Sir James Thornhill between 1707 and 1726 – years that witnessed the Act of Union during the reign of Queen Anne and Great Britain’s rise to become a dominant Protestant power in a predominantly Catholic Europe. The accessions to the throne of William III and Mary II in 1688 and George I in 1714 form the central narrative of a scheme that also honours Britain’s maritime successes and mercantile prosperity. The artist drew on a cast of around 200 figures – a mixture of historical, contemporary, allegorical and mythological characters – to tell a story of political change, scientific and cultural achievements, naval endeavours, and commercial enterprise against a series of magnificent backdrops. In the first part of the book, Dr Anya Lucas describes the history and architecture of the building and the background to Thornhill’s commission. The grandeur of his composition, which ...

Jedným z najskľučujúcejších javov dnešnej doby sú smrtiace útoky v mene islamu, ku ktorým pravidelne dochádza. Takmer rovnako skľučujúce sú neustále uistenia západných politických lídrov a médií, že tieto násilnosti nemajú „nič do činenia s islamom“. K týmto uisteniam patria výrazy ako radikálny islam, islamizmus, militantný islam, „takzvaný“ Islamský štát (ISIS) a džihádisti, čo navodzuje dojem, akoby ľudia páchajúci násilie v mene islamu nejakým spôsobom prekrúcali mierumilovné učenie moslimského náboženstva. No pochybnosti zostávajú. Ak je islam skutočne „náboženstvom mieru“, prečo k týmto útokom naďalej dochádza? Prečo väčšinu teroristických útokov páchajú ľudia vyznávajúci učenie Koránu? Peter Townsend vo svojej knihe skúma dôkazy o možnej súvislosti medzi islamom a násilím. Robí tak prostredníctvom dôkladnej analýzy základných textov islamu (najmä Koránu a tradícií), no analyzuje aj obvyklé námietky, ktoré zaznievajú vždy, keď niekto naznačuje súvislosť medzi islamom a násilím. Otázka, či islam podnecuje k násiliu, môže byť jednou z najdôležitejších otázok, akým naša civilizácia kedy čelila. Zaslúži si viac pozornosti a podrobnejšiu analýzu než len pár ľahkovážnych slov.

James Joyce is one of the greatest writers in English. His first book, A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man laid down the template for the Coming of Age novel, while his collection of short stories, Dubliners, is of perennial interest. His great modern epic, Ulysses, took the city of Dublin for its setting and all human life for its subject, and its publication in 1922 marked the beginning of the modern novel. Joyce''s final work, Finnegans Wake is an endless experiment in narrative and language. But if Joyce is a great writer he is also the most difficult writer in English. Finnegans Wake is written in a freshly invented language, and Ulysses exhausts all the forms and styles of English. Even the apparently simple Dubliners has plots of endless complexity, while the structure of A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man is exceptionally intricate.This Very Short Introduction explores the work of this most influential yet complex writer, and analyses how Joyce''s difficulty grew out of his situation as an Irish writer unwilling to accept the traditions of his imperialist oppressor, and contemptuous of the cultural banality of the Gaelic revival.

For many years, Maud Lewis was one of Nova Scotia''s best-loved folk painters. In the 1990s she was embraced by the rest of the country when the landmark exhibition of her work The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis travelled across Canada. By the time the tour was over, half a million people had become acquainted with her delightful work. Between 1938, when she married Everett Lewis, until her death in 1970, Maud Lewis lived in a tiny one-room house near Digby, Nova Scotia. Over the years, she painted the doors inside and out, the windowpanes, the walls and cupboards, the wallpaper, the little staircase to the sleeping loft, the woodstove, the breadbox, the dustpan, almost everything her hand touched. Her house was a joy to behold, and it became a magnet for tourists as well as a focal point in her village. In 1979, after Everett Lewis died, the Maud Lewis Painted House Society worked diligently to raise funds to acquire, preserve, and display the house as part of the cultural heritage of the area as well as a memorial to their beloved artist. In 1984, the house and its contents were purchased by the Province of Nova Scotia for ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Supreme linguistic virtuosity conjures up the dark underground worlds of sexuality and dream. Joyce undermines traditional storytelling and all official forms of English and confronts the different kinds of betrayal - cultural, political and sexual - that he saw at the heart of Irish history.

James Joyce is most celebrated for his remarkable novel Ulysses, and yet he was also an accomplished poet. Chamber Music, his debut collection, fused the styles of the Celtic Revival with his own brand of ironic exuberance. Pomes Penyeach, a collection written when Joyce had published Dubliners and was completing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, explores intimate themes of adultery, jealousy, and betrayal that would reappear transformed in the later Ulysses. Joyce''s occasional verse includes the well-known "Ecce Puer," written for his newborn grandson, and his satirical poems "The Holy Office" and "Gas from a Burner." These poems are brought together here with Joyce''s play, Exiles--about an unconventional couple involved in a love triangle--in a beautiful, accessible hardcover edition for the general reader.

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. This heart is sore and sad. Crossed in love?The manuscript of ‘Giacomo Joyce’, written in James Joyce’s best handwriting and folded between the covers of a school notebook, was discovered in Trieste. Most likely written in 1914, some of it served as a rehearsal for passages in Ulysses. Had Joyce meant to pillage it or publish it? Either way, this fragmented evocation of unrequited desire is, in the words of Joyce’s biographer Richard Ellmann, a work of ‘small, fragile, enduring perfection’.With a new introduction by Colm Tóibín.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Kniha - autor James Joyce, 48 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá První vydání překladu spisovatelky a básnířky Věry Linhartové, který vznikl na přelomu let 1970/71. „K setkání s textem Giacomo Joyce pro mne došlo v pravou chvíli: na rozhraní dvou jazyků, na rozhraní dvou světů. [...] Jakkoli se to může zdát paradoxní, pro mne je zcela jisté, že práce na překladu Giacomo Joyce, který je pro mne na dlouhou dobu mou poslední prací v českém jazyce, mi současně umožňuje přechod k prvnímu francouzskému pokusu, kterým je text nazvaný Twor (GLM, 1974). Francouzština je mi od té chvíle, až na nepatrné výjimky a až do zcela posledních let, jediným a výlučným pracovním jazykem,“píše V. Linhartová v doslovu ke knize. Text Jamese Joyce (1882–1941) vyšel poprvé v roce 1968 ve frankfurtském nakladatelství Suhrkamp. Podle autorova rukopisu jej připravil k vydání Richard Ellmann.

Krasopisně nasaný rukopis Giacomo Joyce byl objeven v Joyceově pozůstalosti jeho bratrem a poprvé uveřejněn více než dvacet let po autorově smrti, v 60. letech. Byla to literární senzace. Text je jakýmsi silně stylizovaným deníkem autorovy erotické fantazie a byl napsán v době před první světovou válkou, kdy Joyce pobýval v italském Terstu. Je to báseň v próze, vynikající zjitřenou poetičností a mystickým zaujetím, slovy Joyceova životopisce Richarda Ellmana "milostná báseň, která nebyla nikdy recitována". Kniha vychází v unikátní grafické úpravě s ilustracemi významného španělského výtvarníka.

Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce''s Dubliners is both a vivid and unflinching portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century and a moral history of a nation and a people whose "golden age" has passed. His richly drawn characters-at once intensely Irish and utterly universal-may forever haunt the reader. In mesmerizing writing rich with evocative imagery, Joyce delves into the heart of the city of his birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners'' speech and portraying with remarkable realism their outer and inner lives. This magnificent collection of fifteen stories, including such touchstones as "Araby," "Grace," and "The Dead," and in the definitive text authorized by the Joyce estate-collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions of Dubliners to reflect the author''s wishes-reveals Joyce at his most accessible and most profound.Featuring a new introduction by acclaimed writer Colum McCann and the stunning cover art and sumptuous packaging that are the hallmarks of the Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe series, this edition of Dubliners is worthy of the centennial of one of the twentieth century''s most important books.

''Like an artist working an empty sky into a busy cityscape, or an empty chair into a crowded family portrait, Joyce creates spaces where the reader is left to themselves'' Patrick McGuinness, from his Preface to Dubliners.Set in the late 19th and early 20th-century, Dubliners is made up of fifteen stories, which all sit within the realm of realism, with easily identifiable streets and a cartographic identity of the city. Alike Joyce''s other works, the collection was repeatedly rejected by publishers and he received accusations of obscurity and obscenity before it finally appeared in print on 15 June 1914. This was five years after a contract was signed, six weeks before the outbreak of World War One, and at a time when Ireland was under British Home Rule. We find an intricate account of the lives of the city''s inhabitants in Joyce''s haunted and bleak vision of Dublin.Discover these stories for the first time here, or read them afresh, and marvel at the unique stories that Joyce was able to capture, and make timeless, for us all.

Audiokniha: Před 100 lety publikoval irský spisovatel James Joyce svůj nejznámější román Odysseus, zásadní dílo moderní světové literatury. Ve všedním příběhu jednoho dne jako by ožívaly všechny příběhy světa, včetně antického mýtu o Odysseovi. Možná vás nadchne, možná bude provokovat svou "nečitelností", ale jistě vás ohromí. Román Odysseus (1922) se stal nejslavnějším dílem irského romanopisce a básníka Jamese Joyce. Mnohovrstevnatá dublinská parafráze antického mýtu. V osmnácti kapitolách tematicky vázaných k epizodám Homérovy Odyssey je s analytickou důkladností zaznamenávána všední jednodenní pouť pokřtěného irského žida Leopolda Blooma městem Dublin. V časovém úseku od 8 hod. 16. června do 8 hod. 17. června 1904 bezvýznamný žurnalista a inzertní akvizitér Bloom obstarává své pochůzky, které přes vnější banálnost opakují mytickou Odysseovu pouť z Tróje do rodné Ithaky. Homérská paralela se neuplatňuje jen v dějové architektuře Odyssea, ale také v rozvržení postav. Štěpán Dedalus odpovídá Odysseovu synovi Telemachovi. Leopold Bloom funguje jako Odysseus a Molly Bloomová jako Pénelopé. Oba se v noci na okamžik setkají, Bloom se Štěpána ujímá ve veřejném domě, nabízí mu nocleh. Štěpán odmítne, odchází a Bloom opět uléhá vedle své spící ženy Molly-Penelopy, jejíž strhující a živelný vnitřní monolog v podobě jediné nekonečné věty román uzavírá. Dublinské ulice v románu ...
