About the Book

"Retrato del artista adolescente" (A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, en inglés) es una novela semiautobiográfica escrita por el escritor irlandés James Joyce, publicada en formato de serial en la revista The Egoist, entre 1914 y 1915, y como libro en el año 1916. Novela de aprendizaje, o Bildungsroman, es la historia de un muchacho llamado Stephen Dedalus, que es el álter ego del propio autor, por lo que en ella aparecen muchos eventos basados en la vida real del escritor. La novela arranca plasmando las sensaciones de un niño pequeño en primera persona (estilo indirecto libre). Stephen Dedalus disfruta de su aún corta vida y se asombra con las muchas cosas nuevas que la misma va poniendo ante sus ojos; le gusta sobre todo escuchar los cuentos de su padre, Simón Dedalus. Llegado el tiempo de asistir a la escuela, es matriculado en el Clongowes Wood, un colegio jesuita para jóvenes de familias adineradas. Un día, durante un peligroso juego entre compañeros, Stephen es empujado a una fosa por otro alumno, lo que le ocasiona un trastorno que le hará pasar una noche en la enfermería. Allí sueña con su propia muerte y sus consecuencias, bajo la imagen de Parnell, radical personaje político irlandés de principios del siglo XX. Llega la época navideña y los alumnos tienen permiso para retornar a sus casas. La tranquilidad hogareña durante las fiestas, tratada en tono convencional, se ve interrumpida por las diferencias surgidas entre la tía de Stephen, Dante, una mujer sumamente cristiana que apoya a la iglesia, y Mister Dedalus, quien se muestra contrario a la misma y a su influencia sobre la sociedad. De regreso en Clongowes, un día, durante la clase de latín, Fleming, compañero de clases, es castigado físicamente por el padre Dolan por desconocer la respuesta a una pregunta concreta. Stephen, quien estaba exento de las tareas por haber roto los lentes, es también castigado siendo acusado de ocioso y mentiroso. Sus compañeros lo alientan a quejarse al rector por haberse cometido una injusticia al castigarlo sin motivo. Ante la insistencia de aquellos, enfrentándose a su vergüenza, transmite sus quejas al rector, quien las acepta parcialmente. De regreso, es ovacionado por sus compañeros. La economía familiar decae, la familia se muda a Dublín y Stephen tiene que dejar la escuela. Este cambio le acarrea mayor libertad de movimientos, ya que tiene permitido andar por las calles de la ciudad. Stephen, durante una fiesta, conoce a una niña de quien cree enamorarse, pero tras un viaje en tranvía, en el que van juntos, no se presentan mayores situaciones a pesar de las demostraciones de interés de la joven, puesto que él no se siente con valor. Stephen es matriculado en un nuevo colegio de jesuitas, el Belvedere, donde conoce a Heron, compañero de clases con quien no tendrá una buena relación, máxime por sus diferencias en términos literarios. Transcurre el tiempo y, en un concurso literario, Stephen es elegido ganador, lo que le hace merecedor de una cierta suma de dinero, la cual gasta rápidamente en banalidades. Su crecimiento como adolescente lo lleva, inevitablemente, a los deseos carnales. Debido a su poca resistencia y a sus ganas de aplacar esas sensaciones, contrata a una prostituta, dado que la autosatisfacción ya no le resulta gratificante. La escuela, en honor al santo que veneran, organiza un retiro al que deben asistir todos los alumnos. Durante el mismo, las palabras del padre Arnall sobre el pecado y las terribles torturas infernales que acarrea cometerlo, asustan a Stephen, haciéndolo sentirse miserable, impuro y poco humano. Arrepentido y como parte del retiro, va a confesarse, pero fuera de la escuela, pues se sentía muy avergonzado por sus actos. Después de la confesión, aliviado, decide cambiar su modo de vida y comprometerse con la vida religiosa. Su radical cambio consiste en acatar una por una todas las reglas a las que, según la Biblia, debe ceñirse el buen
