A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN: BOOK + K7 - IMPORTADO

First published in 1916, this 20th-century masterpiece, written in brilliantly inventive prose, is an autobiographical novel, based on Joyce?s own childhood, adolescence and early youth. It is also, and perhaps more importantly, the story of the development of a poetic consciousness from its first contacts with literature (bedtime stories and children?s songs) to the full realisation of poetic vocation.
