À propos de cet audio

This fictionalized portrait of Joyce's youth is one of the most vivid accounts of the growth from childhood to adulthood. Dublin at the turn of the century provides the backdrop as Stephen Dedalus moves from town and society, towards the irrevocable decision to leave. It was the decision made by Joyce himself which resulted in the mature novels of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Naxos has cast a single voice, Jim Norton, who delivers the entire narrative in a single tone of gentle, god-like detachment. In dialogue passages, the characters roar to life in all their stormy Celtic vigor. Thus, Norton takes us inside the soul of the sensitive protagonist while amplifying the color and beauty of Joyce’s writing." (AudioFile)

For example, the narrator will skip certain words... instead of "coloured lanterns", he'll just say, "lanterns". One passage that made me give up on this version is when the prefect goes "--We must pack off to brother Michael because we have the collywobbles!" Then the narrator skips to: "He was very decent to say that". This takes a huge chunk of Joyce's flavour out, because the full passage is as follows: "--We must pack off to brother Michael because we have the collywobbles! Terrible thing to have the collywobbles! How we wobble when we have the collywobbles! He was very decent to say that. That was all to make him laugh."

Gee, how can you skip all that?

No thanks. Let's hope the other version I get will not be editing the story. What I did like about this is that the narrator does actually sing the snippets of songs that the book refers to.

It's ok... it skips a LOT...
