About this audiobook
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is Joyce’s semi-autobiographical first novel. It traces the early life of Stephen Dedalus and his inner struggle with the oppression of Irish society and the Catholic church, ending with his awakening as a poet and writer and self-imposed exile from Ireland.
“Welcome, O life, I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.”
(Description by T. Hynes, with quote from the book)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A wonderful reading of a beautiful and moving work of art. I was deeply touched as I heard the last words of this novel, thinking back in summation of a work of poetic art, which is no doubt truer in its universality than any recital of mere historical fact. Thank you, Tighe Hynes (or however you spell your name), for your artful, beautiful reading. In gratitude, David
