About this audiobook
James Joyce didn't just write books; he destroyed the novel and built it back up again. From the paralyzed streets of Dubliners to the dream logic of Finnegans Wake, he pushed the English language to its absolute breaking point to forge the "uncreated conscience" of his race.
In this literary roadmap, you will navigate:
The Center of Paralysis: The trapped souls and spiritual "epiphanies" of Dubliners.
The Artist's Rebellion: Stephen Dedalus’s rejection of God and country in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
The Modern Odyssey: How Ulysses turned a single day in 1904 into a mythic masterpiece.
Stream of Consciousness: The distinct internal mechanics of Stephen, Leopold, and Molly Bloom.
The Night Logic: The circular, polyglot dreamscape of Finnegans Wake.
Discover why he remains the most challenging and rewarding author of the 20th century.
