内容简介One of the most widely read novelists of the twentieth century, James Joyce is famed for his mastery of expression. His unprecedented exploration of the English language, in particular, has made him one of the most influential writers of modern times. This three-act play was first published in 1918; and like much of Joyce's other works, it is an imaginative reconstruction of his own life. In it, Richard Rowan, an Irish writer who has spent much time abroad, feels estranged from Irish society when he returns to Dublin. Focusing on the love entanglements between Rowan; his common-law wife, Bertha; and his friends, the story is requisite reading for devotees of this brilliant author. Unabridged republication of a standard edition.
编辑推荐Review
Joyce wrote Exiles after A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and before ?? as a continuation of the theme of the return of the thinker, the free artist, to his native land to "forge the uncreated conscience of his race". At once meriting and necessitating an analysis of the convoluted and ultimately still confused trends of emotion experienced by the typically Joycian characters, the story of this play concerns the return of a writer, Richard Rowan, to Ireland from abroad; the struggles of his journalist friend, Robert, who is in love with Richard's wife and who is disgusted with the old morality of which he is a product; and the ??atrophy of Beatrice, who had stimulated Richard's writing through an eight years' correspondence, when she finds she cannot give wholly of herself to anything. Two questions, unanswered, are posed - how will man break successfully with tradition and still be at peace with his soul? How will he free himself and his fellows from bonds inherent in love and friendship as they are now known? It is a clear, deep thought-provoking play, devoid of the obscurities of Joyce's earlier and later works and only as complex as the problems with which it is concerned.... Appended with an enlightening collection of the author's own notes, Exiles is now being printed in a limited first edition of 1500 copies.
