A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. James Joyce. ISBN:9781853260063

James Joyce's seminal work and the most important example of modernist literature. The novel “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” is one of the most significant and innovative works of the twentieth century. A young Irish Catholic, Stephen Dedalus, renounces religion and national ties in favor of developing himself as an artist. The novel is partly autobiographical and is the predecessor of the novel Ulysses. His text is rooted at the heart of modernist literature. After the novel's first publication in 1916, Joyce's contemporaries were outraged. Close attention to the minutiae of everyday life seemed indecent to them, and the central character seemed completely unattractive.
