national boundaries.”—_Springfield Republican._
“It is a book which posterity may well call the Iliad of the
poor.”—_London Daily Chronicle._

strength to win them.”—_New York Tribune._

“A practised technical hand, and a gift for etching character
that may be compared with De Maupassant’s.”—James Huneker, in
_The Sun_.

James Joyce
An Irishman of distinction whose two books compel the attention
of discriminating seekers after brains in books:
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
This account of the childhood, adolescence and young manhood of a
gifted Irishman of middle-class family enables us to understand
the forces—social, political, religious—that animate Ireland
to-day. The home life, the boys’ school, the university,
politics, religion, economics and aesthetics are present or
implied so as to reveal the undercurrents of Irish character.
Psychological insight, masterly simplicity of style, and
extraordinary naturalism make this book more than a promise of
great things. Joyce stands pre-eminent among the young Irish
writers to-day.
Dubliners
Firmly etched into these pages are Irish city life, character,
types and traits, Dublin serving as background. With perfect
objectivity and the reticence of reserve power, each of these
short stories proves a tensely wrought composition, disclosing in
balanced relief some idea of situation of universal import. No
reader can fail to become a Joyce enthusiast.
