A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce 1968 The Heritage Press w/Slipcase New Includes Sandglass VI : 34 Like much of James Joyce's work, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a fictional re-creation of the Irish writer's own life and early environment. The experiences of the novel's young hero, Stephen Dedalus, unfold in astonishingly vivid scenes that seem freshly recalled from life and provide a powerful portrait of the coming of age of a young man of unusual intelligence, sensitivity, and character.#jamesjoyce#portraitoftheartist#Theheritagepress#vintagebooks#bookstore
