Description
This seminal novel traces the intellectual and spiritual awakening of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of James Joyce himself, from his early childhood in late 19th-century Ireland through his adolescence and into young manhood. As Stephen grapples with the oppressive forces of family, religion, and nationalism, he embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery, seeking to forge his own identity and artistic destiny. Through a revolutionary stream-of-consciousness style that mirrors the protagonist's evolving mind, Joyce crafts a powerful exploration of alienation, rebellion, and the relentless pursuit of artistic freedom.
