ULYSSES AND US: THE ART OF EVERYDAY LIVING

Book ID/图书代码： 04560019C00059

English Summary/英文概要： Ulysses continues to be one of the central books of the twentieth century and this is an audacious new take on it. It was never meant to be an abstruse a book for the elite, argues Declan Kiberd. It is a book for the common people, and offers a humane vision of a more tolerant and decent life under the dreadful pressures of the modern world. Leopold Bloom, the half-Jewish Irishman who is the book’s hero, teaches the young Stephen Dedalus (modelled on Joyce himself) how he can grow and mature as an artist and an adult human being. Bloom has learned to live with contradictions, with anxiety and sexual jealousy, and with the rudeness and racism of the people he encounters in the city streets, and in his apparently banal way sees deeper than any of them. He embodies an intensely ordinary kind of wisdom, Kiberd argues, and in this way offers us a model for living well, in the tradition of Homer, Dante and the Bible (on all of which Joyce drew in the writing of his book).

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《尤利西斯》仍然是20世纪的核心著作之一，这是对它大胆的新解读。德克兰•基伯德认为，这本书从来就不是一本面向精英阶层的深奥书籍。这是一本为普通民众而写的书，它以一种人道的视角，描绘了在现代世界可怕的压力下，一种更宽容、更体面的生活。利奥波德•布鲁姆是书中的主人公，他有一半犹太血统，是爱尔兰人。布鲁姆已经学会了与矛盾共存，与焦虑和嫉妒共存，与他在城市街道上遇到的人们的粗鲁和种族主义共存，并且以一种明显平庸的方式比任何一种都看得更深刻。基伯德认为，他体现了一种极其普通的智慧，并以这种方式为我们提供了一个良好生活的榜样，这是荷马、但丁和《圣经》的传统(乔伊斯在写书时借鉴了所有这些)。（WYL）

For those who think a century is entitled to more than one ’game-changer, ’ there’s a fine new book of literary criticism called Ulysses and Us: The Art of Everyday Life in Joyce’s Masterpiece. -- David Kelly ""Paper Cuts: A Blog About Books"" [Kiberd is] one of our liveliest and most iconoclastic intellectuals. . . . Whether or not Ulysses is an example of wisdom literature, Ulysses and Us certainly is.--John Banville Kiberd’s book--lucid, learned, free of jargon and pretension--can make for a wonderful companion along the journey through Joyce’s wondrous epic.--Sudip Bose
