图书简介:A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a semi-autobiographical novel by James Joyce, first serialized in The Egoist from 1914 to 1915 and published in book form in 1916. It depicts the formative years in the life of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and a pointed allusion to the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology, Daedalus.A Portrait is a key example of the Künstlerroman (an artist's bildungsroman) in English literature. Joyce's novel traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical awakening of young Stephen Dedalus as he begins to question and rebel against the Catholic and Irish conventions he has been brought up in. He finally leaves for Paris to pursue his calling as an artist. The work pioneers some of Joyce's modernist techniques that would later come to fruition in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. The Modern Library ranked Portrait as the third greatest English-language novel of the twentieth century.詹姆斯·乔伊斯(James Joyce,1882—1941):爱尔兰作家、诗人。1882年2月2日出生于都柏林,1941年1月13日卒于瑞士苏黎世。他是意识流文学的开山鼻祖,其长篇小说《尤利西斯》成为意识流文学的代表作,是二十世纪最伟大的小说之一。他一生颠沛流离,辗转于的里雅斯特、罗马、巴黎等地,多以教授英语和为报刊撰稿糊口,又饱受眼疾折磨,到晚年几乎完全失明。但他对文学矢志不渝,勤奋写作,终成一代巨匠。
