A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

by James Joyce
Abridged by Roger Marsh

Read by Jim Norton

Produced by Roger Marsh

In A Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man, Joyce describes the early life of Stephen Dedalus: significant memories from infancy, schooldays, family life, his first taste of sin, guilt, repentance – and his passage to freedom as he elects to leave Ireland for ever. This is, in effect, autobiography. Stephen is Joyce; every person he encounters and every incident he experiences, is drawn from life. The writing, though, displays the colour and imagination of the very finest fiction, in language which cries out to be read aloud.

Music: Wagner, Grainger, Berlioz, Medieval carols, traditional Irish music
