Chamber Music

The quiet tenderness of «Chamber Music» reveals to readers an unexpected side of the creativity of the great modernist James Joyce, revered around the world. The author of the immortal «Ulysses» in his poems appears as both a sensitive romantic... and a magnificent wit, while the brilliant translation by Grigory Kruzhkov conveys all the nuances of Joyce's poetry.
For the first time in many years, «Chamber Music» is published as a separate collection. The book includes the titular cycle of poems, as well as poems from the collection «Penny Dreadfuls», poems for every occasion, excerpts from the correspondence of James Joyce with his brother Stanislaus, and the fifth chapter from «A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man», complementing the poetry of the celebrated Irishman. The edition is accompanied by a preface and comments by Grigory Kruzhkov.
