作為一部成長小說,《一個青年藝術(shù)家的肖像》展現(xiàn)了主人公斯蒂芬?迪達(dá)勒斯從童年到青少年期的成長歷程,描寫了他如何試圖擺脫妨礙其發(fā)展的各種影響——家庭束縛、宗教傳統(tǒng)和狹隘的民族主義情緒,去追求藝術(shù)與美的真諦。本書在很大程度上來源于喬伊斯本人的生活體驗,展現(xiàn)了一位藝術(shù)家復(fù)雜敏感的內(nèi)心世界。 As one of the most significant literary works of the twentieth century and one of the most innovative, this novel charts the intellectual, moral, and sexual development of Stephen Dedalus, from his childhood listening to his father’s stories, through his schooldays and adolescence to the brink of adulthood and independence, and his awakening as an artist. Stephen’s story mirrors that of Joyce himself, and the novel is both startlingly realistic and brilliantly crafted.
