Features: This book vividly depicts the story of Joyce and Nora from their initial love at first sight to eloping and leaving Dublin, as well as their turbulent lives abroad. Their life was filled with bitterness and hardship, yet also brimmed with hope and passion. At the same time, the author explores Joyce's creative psychology from a unique perspective. Nora's maturity and boldness deeply attracted Joyce, yet they also constantly triggered his suspicions about her fidelity. Especially during the creation of Ulysses, Joyce was completely immersed in horrifying imagination. He even encouraged Nora to attract other men so that he could experience the taste of jealousy and suspicion himself, while he often had affairs himself. All of these were later transformed into plot elements in his works through his rich imagination.
