A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce.

Der 2. Februar 1922 hat Literaturgeschichte geschrieben: An diesem Tag, dem 40. Geburtstag von James Joyce, erschien in einer Auflage von 1 000 nummerierten Exemplaren die Erstausgabe des Ulysses, verlegt durch Sylvia Beach, Besitzerin der Buchhandlung Shakespeare and Company, in Paris.

Errors within the text have resulted in multiple...
