"I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can.”
In the 19th century, Stephen Dedalus, a young boy growing up in Dublin, Ireland, shows the grit, self-reflection and courage it takes to absorb life and turn it into art.
Stephen is a sensitive and intelligent boy, yet rebellious and independent. He struggles to break free from the constraints of his family expectations, the dominance of his religious teachings and the politics of his country. In his quest to seek reason behind his actions, he learns to break away from the norm and express his own unique perspective of the world.
Writing poetry and prose become his means of expression, as he highlights the tensions between individuality and conformity.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a timeless and introspective work inviting readers to experience catharsis and self-realization through beautiful poems, prose and motivating conversations.
