James Joyce: itinerari triestini-James Joyce: triestine itineraries

"In reconstructing Joyce's Triestine years, 1904-1915 and 1919-1920, so crucial to his literary growth, this book also avails of unpublished sources, of documents, of newly-checked data from the registry offices, and offers itself as a useful guide to the places most relevant to the great writer's daily life, his work, his social and "recreational" relationships. Maps and routes trace a geography at once physical and spiritual to help the interested party in his search for an emotional self-identification with the Trieste of the beginning of this century, the Trieste where A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was finished, the play Exiles was written, Ulysses was conceived, and the prose-poem Giacomo Joyce first saw the light, the only Joycean work set in Trieste."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
