  • Summary

  • A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce follows the intellectual and emotional development of Stephen Dedalus, a young man in Ireland. The novel traces Stephen's journey from childhood to adulthood as he grapples with religion, family expectations, and his own identity. Through a series of defining moments, including his struggles with Catholic guilt, artistic ambition, and a desire for independence, Stephen ultimately decides to reject traditional social norms and pursue a life dedicated to art. The novel is known for its modernist style, stream-of-consciousness narrative, and exploration of personal and national identity. It portrays Stephen's internal conflicts as he searches for his own voice as an artist and his place in the world. (Summary by Dream Audiobooks)
