  • 意识流最具特色的代表作,被誉为20世纪百大英文小说之首。

    Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose—full of puns, parodies, and allusions, as well as its rich characterisations and broad humour, made the book a highly regarded novel in the Modernist pantheon. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday.

  • 内容简介
  • 《尤利西斯》是爱尔兰现代主义作家詹姆斯·乔伊斯于1922年出版的长篇小说。小说以时间为顺序,描述了主人公,苦闷彷徨的都柏林小市民,广告推销员利奥波德·布卢姆于1904年6月16日一昼夜之内在都柏林的种种日常经历。乔伊斯选择这一天来描写,是因为这一天是他和他的妻子诺拉·巴纳克尔首次约会的日子。小说的题目来源于希腊神话中的英雄奥德修斯,而《尤利西斯》的章节和内容也经常表现出和荷马史诗《奥德赛》内容的平行对应关系。利奥波德·布卢姆是奥德修斯现代的反英雄的翻版,他的妻子摩莉·布卢姆则对应了奥德修斯的妻子帕涅罗佩,青年学生斯蒂芬·迪达勒斯(也是乔伊斯早期作品《一个青年艺术家的画像》主人公,以乔伊斯本人为原型)对应奥德修斯的儿子忒勒玛科斯。乔伊斯将布卢姆在都柏林街头的一日游荡比作奥德修斯的海外十年漂泊,同时刻画了他不忠诚的妻子摩莉以及斯蒂芬寻找精神上的父亲的心理。小说大量运用细节描写和意识流手法构建了一个交错凌乱的时空,语言上形成了一种独特的风格。《尤利西斯》是意识流小说的代表作,并被誉为20世纪百大英文小说之首,每年的6月16日已经被纪念为“布卢姆日”。

    It was first serialised in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach in February 1922, in Paris. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking." However, even proponents of Ulysses such as Anthony Burgess have described the book as "inimitable, and also possibly mad".

  • 作者简介
  • 詹姆斯·乔伊斯(James Joyce,1882-1941),爱尔兰作家、诗人,二十世纪最伟大的作家之一,后现代文学的奠基者之一,其作品及“意识流”思想对世界文坛影响巨大。

    1920年起定居巴黎。其一生颠沛流离,辗转于欧洲各地,靠教授英语和写作糊口,晚年饱受眼疾之痛,几近失明。其作品结构复杂,用语奇特,极富独创性。

    主要作品是短篇小说集《都柏林人》(1914)描写下层市民的日常生活,显示社会环境对人的理想和希望的毁灭。自传体小说《青年艺术家的自画像》(1916)以大量内心独白描述人物心理及其周围世界。代表作长篇小说《尤利西斯》(1922)表现现代社会中人的孤独与悲观。后期作品长篇小说《芬尼根的守灵夜》(1939)借用梦境表达对人类的存在和命运的终极思考,语言极为晦涩难懂。

    Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he utilized. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters.
