Joyce
LIfe
Born in Dublin in 1882 to a family from the Catholic middle class. He pursued studies in various languages such as Italian and French, and in 1902, he obtained his degree in modern languages.
In 1904, he encountered Nora Barnacle (a chambermaid), but they would not marry until 1931. Following his graduation, he journeyed to Europe, but in 1903, he had to return home due to his mother's illness.
On that occasion, he declined to pray with his mother, a decision that haunted him throughout his life (as depicted in "Eveline"). He relocated to Trieste, where he penned "Dubliners" and "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and befriended ITALO SVEVO, whose influence shaped Joyce's themes and style. When the First World War erupted in 1914, he moved to Zurich.
There, he embarked on his magnum opus, "Ulysses." In 1920, he settled in Paris, where he commenced work on his final novel, "Finnegans Wake."
