《尤利西斯》是爱尔兰意识流文学作家詹姆斯·乔伊斯(James Joyce)于1922年出版的长篇小说。小说以时间为顺序，描述了主人公，苦闷彷徨的都柏林小市民，广告推销员利奥波德·布卢姆(Leopold Blo om)于1904年6月16日一昼夜之内在都柏林的种种日常经历。乔伊斯将布卢姆在都柏林街头的一日游荡比作奥德修斯的海外十年漂泊，同时刻画了他不忠诚的妻子摩莉以及斯蒂芬寻找精神上的父亲的心理。小说大量运用细节描写和意识流手法构建了一个交错凌乱的时空，语言上形成了一种独特的风格。本书是意识流小说的代表作，并被誉为20世纪一百部最佳英文小说之首，每年的6月16日已经被纪念为“布卢姆日”。

《一个青年艺术家的画像(精)》主要讲述了：这是乔伊斯第一次运用意识流手法写就的长篇小说。它宣告了一个文学新时代的到来。读完《尤利西斯》，或许需要某种勇气，而读完《一个青年艺术家的画像》，你需要的仅仅是打开第一页。因为正像所有浩瀚河流的源头，它清澈，纯净，宛如新生。

康奈尔和玛丽安在爱尔兰西部一个小镇长大。在学校，康奈尔备受欢迎，玛丽安则被视为怪人，独来独往。然而，一次令人怦然心动的对话，改变了两人的关系和他们今后的人生。
一年后，两人都来到都柏林的圣三一大学念书，在派对中重逢。此时的玛丽安活跃于大学社交圈，康奈尔则成了边缘人，腼腆而缺乏自信。大学数年中，两人各自与他人交往，但似乎总有一种不可抗拒的磁力，将两人彼此拉近。他们如同“一盆土中的两株植物，环绕彼此生长，为了腾出空间而长得歪歪扭扭，形成某种令人难以置信的姿态”。最后在她走向自毁、而他往别处寻找生活的意义之际，他们究竟该如何拯救彼此？人怎样才能改变另一个人，人如何才能说出内心感受让别人真切感知？

'The horror, whatever it was, had not yet entirely spoiled that marvellous beauty'


Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. The Picture of Dorian Gray was a succès de scandale . Early readers were shocked by its hints at unspeakable sins, and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895.

This definitive edition includes a selection of contemporary reviews condemning the novel's immorality, and the introduction to the first Penguin Classics edition by Peter Ackroyd.
