There isn't a lot to this, but I doubt it was ever intended to by published. Still, the illustrations are amusing and it is nice to be able to finish a work by Joyce in 5 mins :) ( ) Very similar to The Cat and the Devil, this is highly recommended! Joyce thought the world of cats, this was quite evident in the first chapter of Ulysses, in which the very first conversation is between a hungry feline and the kind-hearted protagonist. Both works are beautiful. Very similar to The Cat and the Devil, this is highly recommended!

Both works are beautiful. A little story which was never written for publication, but has nevertheless been published. Joyce wrote it for his four year old grandson in a letter. Now it has clever illustrations by Casey Sorrow and is in a lovely little hardbound book. It made about as much sense as I expected Joyce to make, and more sense than many children's books I have read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The first-ever U.S. edition of this delightful gem based on a letter Joyce wrote to his grandson, revealing the modernist master's playful side--filled with one-of-a-kind illustrations--the perfect gift for Joyce fans and cat lovers alike. The Cats of Copenhagen was first written for James Joyce's most beloved audience, his only grandson, Stephen James Joyce, and sent in a letter dated September 5, 1936. Cats were clearly a common currency between Joyce and his grandson. In early August 1936, Joyce sent Stephen "a little cat filled with sweets"--a kind of Trojan cat meant to outwit grown-ups. A few weeks later, Joyce penned a letter from Copenhagen that begins "Alas! I cannot send you a Copenhagen cat because there are no cats in Copenhagen." The letter reveals the modernist master at his most playful, yet Joyce's Copenhagen has a keen, anti-authoritarian quality that transcends the mere whimsy of a children's story. Only recently rediscovered, this marks the inaugural U.S. publication of The Cats of Copenhagen, a treasure for readers of all ages. A rare addition to Joyce's known body of work, it is a joy to see this exquisite story in print at last. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
