In this work I am trying to talk about the irish author named James Joyce, paying an especial attention to some of his works.

J. Joyce, borned in 1882 in Rathgar, a suburb of Dublin, has stood out in the path of modernist english literature with works like: "Chamber Music" (1907), "Finnegans Wake" (1939), "Dubliners" (1914) as well as other works a bit more important which are: "A portrait of the artist as a young man" (1916), this novel is considered like the second work most important of Joyce when it is starts to see in it a bit modernist concern for to try that narrative form expresses a different way to see the reality.

The most important and main work is "Ulisses" (1922), here he will transmit the reality in a different way recounting twenty four hours of the character life.

Here, the author experiments with different ways showing the interior world of the characters looking for something that appear in the subconscious, technique used by Freud influence when it is tried to inquire in mind places not explored to nowadays.

In addition I will analyse his historic context presenting a brief biography that will help to understand his works from the point of view of the Joyce's cultural vocational training trajectory.
