作为一部成长小说,《一个青年艺术家的肖像》展现了主人公斯蒂芬·迪达勒斯从童年到青少年期的成长历程,描写了他如何试图摆脱妨碍其发展的各种影响——家庭束缚、宗教传统和狭隘的民族主义情绪,去追求艺术与美的真谛。本书在很大程度上来源于乔伊斯本人的生活体验,展现了一位艺术家复杂敏感的内心世界。 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.
