James Joyce, best known for his great novel Ulysses, remains a mysterious figure. In this book is about his life: his friends, his loves and the city where he was born --Dublin. Professor Anderson has made an exhaustive, scholary study of Joyce as one of the greatest modern writers. But also about his private life, his do's and dont's, which gives us a remarkable view on this very special but not so easy man. (with 124 illustrations)
