Dubliners. Early Prose

This book is a collection of the artistic prose of James Joyce, written before his main work, the novel "Ulysses". It includes the cycle of prose sketches "Epiphanies", the novel "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", and the unfinished opus "Stephen Hero".
All texts are published in the translation by S.S. Khoruzhiy, and his concluding article paints the world of early Joyce in his inner life, his aesthetic and existential impulses: as an extraordinarily independent, original creative world, where the artist in his youth, following his own "vector of Joyce" and comparing it with the "vector of Flaubert", was heading towards the pinnacle of "Ulysses".
