Gente di Dublino

Di James Joyce

Gente di Dublino è un’opera narrativa scritta da James Joyce nel 1914, composta da 15 racconti organizzati secondo un preciso disegno organico; i primi tre sono dedicati all’infanzia, i quattro successivi all’adolescenza, altri quattro alla maturità. Negli ultimi quattro, infine, Joyce volle dare una testimonianza della vita pubblica di Dublino nei primi del novecento, dominata da frustrazioni, delusioni e incapacità di agire, giustificando così implicitamente, il suo volontario “esilio”.

James Joyce

James Joyce was born in Dublin in 1882. He came from a reasonably wealthy family which, predominantly because of the recklessness of Joyce's father John, was soon plunged into financial hardship. The young Joyce attended Clongowes College, Belvedere College and, eventually, University College, Dublin. In 1904 he met Nora Barnacle, and eloped with her to Croatia. From this point until the end of his life, Joyce lived as an exile, moving from Trieste to Rome, and then to Zurich and Paris. His major works are Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Ulysses (1922) and Finnegan's Wake (1939). He died in 1941, by which time he had come to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists the world ever produced.
