A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Greatest Classic Books of All Time
Publisher Description
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel by Irish writer James Joyce. A Künstlerroman in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939).

Book is missing content
I noticed this book is missing critical parts of the original text. Makes for an interesting read but glad to know I wasn’t wrong in thinking the pacing and connections were off
