Produktbeschreibung
Written during the early years of World War I, Exiles is James Joyce's only play, a deeply introspective and emotionally charged study of love, fidelity, and personal freedom. Echoing themes from the final story in Dubliners and foreshadowing the psychological depth of Ulysses, this three-act drama offers a rare glimpse into Joyce's exploration of the human heart through theatrical form. At the centre of Exiles is the complex relationship between Richard Rowan, a writer returned from exile, and his wife Bertha. Their fraught dynamic unfolds with the quiet intensity of a chamber piece, laying bare the emotional and moral ambiguities of intimacy and autonomy. A striking departure from Joyce's better-known experimental prose, Exiles reveals his enduring preoccupation with identity, loyalty, and artistic freedom. First published in 1918, this play remains essential reading for lovers of modern drama and Joyce aficionados alike.
Autorenporträt
1882-1941. Born in Dublin, Ireland, into a family of ten children, Joyce showed singular intelligence and a gift for writing from an early age. After leaving University College Dublin with a degree in modern languages, Joyce emigrated to Europe, living in Italy, Zurich and Paris. A string of short stories, including Dubliners, were followed by his first novel, Portrait of an Artist in 1916, and then the controversial but very successful Ulysses in 1922, a work in which he perfected his stream-of-consciousness style and made his name as a great literary figure. Joyce died in Zurich in 1941, two years after the publication of Finnegans Wake, his long-awaited follow up novel which earned him further honours.
