A young man severs all conventional ties in order to test his singular vision against the reality of an indifferent world.
Robin Jacques was a British artist and book illustrator known for his prolific work. Despite having no formal art training, he taught himself to draw and developed a distinctive style that graced over 100 novels and children's books from the 1940s to the 1980s. He notably illustrated fairy-tale compilations, bringing magical worlds to life with his unique visual interpretations. Jacques also contributed significantly to the literary landscape as the art editor for *Strand* magazine and later shared his expertise by teaching at several art colleges.

Ve sbírce povídek Dubliňané (1914) se Joyce snažil postihnout provinciálnost a ubohost Irska. V autobiografickém románu Portrét umělce v jinošských letech (1916) se nejvýrazněji projevila Joycova estetika. Stejně jako v Odysseovi, který vznikl později, i zde vystupuje postava Štěpána Dedala.
