His childhood was spent in a dozen different addresses scattered across the city. as his father's wealth decline. He attended University College. Dublin. and. shortly after graduating. rejected a medical career to become a writer. In June 1904 his path crossed with Nora Barnacle on a Dublin street: four months later they left Ireland together. and spent the rest of their lives living in Europe with only a few short visits back. In this way. Joyce's Dulbin is a place created from memories. Though it permeates all of his writing. it remains in some way an unreal city. which the author accessed through a process of recollection and imagination. And Dublin in the year 2000 is a changing place. Virginie Amant's photography reveals the city which has survived into the twenty-first century. complemented by nineteenth-century etchings. illustrations and photographs showing views familiar to Joyce. A commentary by Rosanna Negrotti charts the journey she herself made to Dublin. tracking Joyce. a century on. In a world chock full of Joyceana. this book reveals what remains to be found. by Rosanna Negrotti.ISBN: 1840671491. Weight in Kg appr.:
