內容簡介 在有趣的小說中,它是最難懂的。在最難懂的小說中,它是最有趣的。在二十世紀初《尤利西斯》是一本禁書,如今被譽為二十世紀最偉大的長篇小說。「尤利西斯」是希臘的荷馬史詩《奧德賽》中的英雄奧德修斯的希臘人名,喬伊斯以此為書名,就是要讀者想到這位希臘英雄和以他命名的荷馬史詩。也讓本書帶著史詩的色彩,準確地反映現實,以極其精湛準確的語言,栩栩如生地刻畫了,在一九○四年六月十六日星期四從清晨八時到下半夜二時二十分之間,愛爾蘭首府都柏林二男一女和其它市民的行動、言語和思想。文句大量用典,語法多變,涉及政治、文化、宗教、道德、神話等多種層面,難讀難譯,百年來備受世界文壇爭議。也因為這本小說,讓愛爾蘭都柏林成為文學中要的地景之一,書中描述的那一日後來稱布魯姆日(Bloomsday)。本中文書介出自《尤利西斯》九歌出版社有限公司出版This strikingly illustrated edition presents Joyce’s epic novel in a new, more accessible light, while showcasing the incredible talent of a leading Spanish artist. The neo-figurative artist Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018), regarded today as one of the greatest Spanish painters of his generation, dreamed of illustrating James Joyce’s Ulysses. Although he began work on the project in 1989, it was never published during his lifetime: Stephen James Joyce, Joyce’s grandson and the infamously protective executor of his estate, refused to allow it, arguing that his grandfather would never have wanted the novel illustrated. In fact, a limited run appeared in 1935 with lithographs by Henri Matisse, which reportedly infuriated Joyce when he realized that Matisse, not having actually read the book, had merely depicted scenes from Homer’s Odyssey.Now available for the first time in English, this unique edition of the classic novel features three hundred images created by Arroyo—vibrant, eclectic drawings, paintings, and collages that reflect and amplify the energy of Joyce’s writing."
