It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature  'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape' T.

He was nonetheless educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, and displayed considerable academic and literary ability. Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all of his fiction. He is best known for his landmark novel \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e (1922) and its controversial successor \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e (1939), as well as the short story collection \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel \u003ci\u003eA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1916). James Joyce died in Zürich, on 13 January 1941.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46510035730593,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780141182803","price":22.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780141182803.jpg?v=1780646382","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/modern-classics-ulysses-foreword-by-declan-kiberd-paperback-by-james-joyce-declan-kiberd","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
