About this listen

Stephen Dedalus is a boy on the edge of transformation—questioning his strict Irish Catholic upbringing, the confines of his family, and the weight of tradition. As he comes of age, his inner world brims with restless ambition and a desire to escape conformity through the power of art.

In this bold, lyrical, and deeply introspective novel, James Joyce traces Stephen’s journey from obedient child to fiercely independent thinker, exploring the messy, passionate formation of an artist's identity in a world that demands obedience.

A cornerstone of modernist literature, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is not just a coming-of-age story—it's a call to break free, speak truth, and live with artistic purpose.
