EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the autograph manuscript of the Circe episode from James Joyce's renowned novel, Ulysses. Created in Paris between July and December 1920, this remarkable piece measures 39x29.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. The manuscript itself is a complete working draft that provides an intimate glimpse into Joyce's creative process. The left-hand margin is adorned with extensive additions to the dialogue, revisions, word substitutions, and other reworkings by the author himself. These handwritten notes reveal the meticulous attention to detail that Joyce poured into his masterpiece. With its modernist handwriting style and intricate pencil and ink drawings scattered throughout, this autograph manuscript exudes artistic brilliance. The pages bear witness to crossed-out sections and alterations as Joyce fine-tuned his narrative vision for Circe—an episode known for its experimental structure and surrealistic elements. Considered a classic in literature, Ulysses continues to captivate readers worldwide with its complex exploration of human consciousness. This photograph offers a rare opportunity to delve into the mind of one of history's greatest literary geniuses as he crafted one of his most iconic works. Through this image captured by eChristies Images in collaboration with Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time—to an era when words flowed freely from pen onto paper—a testament to both Joyce's genius and the enduring power of artistry across generations.
