Portret umjetnika u mladosti / Giacomo Joyce

James Joyce

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) follows the upbringing of Stephen Dedalus, Joyce's alter ego, from childhood to youth in Ireland. Giacomo Joyce (1914) is a short, poetic prose piece in which Joyce records his obsessive feelings for a young

  • Portrait of an Artist in His Youth: The novel explores his spiritual, intellectual, and artistic development through five chapters, using a stream of consciousness approach. Stephen, sensitive and introspective, struggles with his Catholic upbringing, Irish nationalism, and family expectations. In his childhood, he experiences religious guilt, while in adolescence he discovers sexuality and intellectual curiosity. At university, he develops an aesthetic theory, rejecting religion and social norms. Ultimately, Stephen decides to leave Ireland, devoting himself to art in exile, seeking freedom of expression. The novel is a bildungsroman that depicts the conflict between the individual and society, with an emphasis on the artist's search for identity.

  • Giacomo Joyce: Written in fragments, the text reveals the inner monologue of the narrator, "Giacomo", who is in love with his student. His passion is mixed with feelings of guilt and restlessness as he contemplates her beauty and unattainability. Published posthumously, the work is lyrical and introspective in style, exploring themes of desire, forbidden love, and artistic inspiration, as well as powerlessness in the face of social boundaries.

Both works reflect Joyce's virtuosity in language and deep analysis of the human psyche, with an emphasis on art and internal conflicts.
