About the book

Read the full description

Stephen Dedalus grows up in Dublin, feeling different from the other boys. His childhood and adolescence are shaped by bullying, his father’s weaknesses and the growing realization that in order to make his way in the world he must reject a conventional life and boecome an artist.

Penguin Popular Classics are the perfect introduction to the world-famous Penguin Classics series — which encompasses the best books ever written, from Homer’s Odyssey to Orwell’s 1984 and everything in between.
