Golden Globe winning actor and Dublin native Colin Farrell revisits his home country with a moving, authentic performance of one of Irish icon James Joyce’s masterworks, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

The quintessential coming-of-age story follows Stephen Dedalus as he matures in an era marked by budding Irish nationalism and intensely conservative Catholicism. From infancy to adulthood, Stephen struggles to find his place, flitting between periods of guilt-ridden fanatical religious obsession and hedonistic exploration. But even as he is pulled in every direction by family, flesh, faith, and nation, Stephen longs for something seemingly forbidden–the life of an artist.

Joyce’s first work to experiment with stream of consciousness style—a technique that he and his contemporaries developed—A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man evokes both the pains and complexities of growing up and the furious optimism that accompanies youth. Pulling from events from his own past, Joyce weaves a semi-autobiographical recount of life in nineteenth century Ireland, crafting a narrative that is at once tender and sharply satirical. When combined with Farrell’s gentle brogue, Joyce’s tale soars, as much a portrait of the artist as it is a portrait of Ireland itself.

About the Performer

Born and raised in Castleknock, Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, actor Colin Farrell began his schooling at the Gaiety School of Acting—but before he even completed his studies, he’d already landed starring roles in the miniseries Falling for a Dancer and the beloved BBC drama Ballykissangel. In 1999, Farrell made his film debut, in Tim Roth’s The War Zone. Shortly thereafter, his career took off, boasting early credits on films including Tigerland, Phone Booth, Minority Report, Daredevil, and Alexander. But it was his 2008 performance as troubled hitman Ray in Martin McDonough’s black comedy In Bruges that first brought him award season acclaim including a Golden Globe for Best Actor. After that incredible success, Farrell went on to star in Seven Psychopaths, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Saving Mr. Banks, Total Recall, Fright Night, Horrible Bosses, and The Lobster—the latter of which earned him nominations for Best Actor at the 2017 Golden Globes, 2015 British Independent Film Awards, and the 2015 European Film Awards. He currently lives in Los Angeles where he continues to hone his craft.

About the Author

One of the most inventive, influential, and important authors of the 20th Century, James Joyce left an indelible mark on literary tradition with a staggering canon of novels, short stories, and poems that span genres and decades. Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland as the eldest of ten children in an impoverished and unstable household, Joyce spent his childhood engulfed in the works of Dante, Aristotle, and Aquinas. By 22, he had published his first short story and was working diligently on producing longer works while toiling part-time as an English teacher to support his family. His first book, a collection of short stories entitled Dubliners, was published in 1914 followed shortly thereafter by the semi-autobiographical A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. But it was his 1922 landmark novel Ulysses, a feat of modernist literature, that earned Joyce tremendous fame. A highly experimental, deftly structured novel ripe with humor and rich characterization, the novel is one of the most hotly discussed literary works in the world. By his death in 1941, Joyce had already long cemented himself as what he is recognized as today—a legendary author whose mastery of language is matched only by his earnest portrayal of humanity.

Joyce writes a story about a lover of literature to be appreciated by those who love literature. This work of modernism has beautiful written prose within a stream of consciousness narration that blend naturally into poetry. It depicts struggles with religion, love, and freedom of expression in a masterfully crafted story. Great narration from Colin Farrell!

An Ode to Literature

Colin Farrell is the perfect reader for this book. Much easier to follow the weavings of the story with his voice guiding the way.

This book has eluded me over the years for its complexity, but finally I was able to hear it in a way that truly brought it to life. Colin's exceptional performance of these difficult prose made this book come alive with the beauty in which it was intended. Be warned, this is not a title for the casual reader, but for someone who has a fondness for classic literature and appreciates a highly detailed narrative with moving description as the character gains understanding of his life and circumstances, this book will be a welcome addition to your thoughts and mental library.

Exceptional performance of an exquisite work

I am new to Joyce and have yet to make it through Ulysses. This was so easy to listen to and Colin Farrell was a large part of that. His reading of Joyce's interpretation of Catholic Hell was perfection, and so ironically comical--the same with his passage about beauty. I would highly recommend.

Colin Farrell is spectacular.

Dragged a little bit during chapter 4 I think it was, when the one pastor kept talking about hell, but other then that thoroughly enjoyed it and heavily recommend to any aspiring artists/authors

I bought the audio book specifically because I love Colin Farrell and was curious to listen to his interpretation of the novel’s characters. I was not disappointed. Colin Farrell is by far the best narrator I’ve heard. He kept me interested and engaged in the storyline. I hope he records more classics for readers to enjoy.
