Then in 1902 its study was completed, he decided to become a writer and visited Paris for the first time. In 1904 he moved with the Chambermaid Nora Barnacle to the continent and lived 10 years in Trieste on Via Nicolo 30, where their son was born. He taught at the Berlitz school.

His Irish background turned out to be essential for its literature, for he wrote exclusively about Irish themes. Three of his stories appeared In 1902 in an Irish magazine for farmers, written under the pseudonym Stephen Dedalus. These stories were later included in a collection of short stories Dubliners, which eventually was published in 1914 . The stories are ' epiphanies ' (Revelation) – a Word by Joyce used to the sudden awareness of the soul of something to describe.

The first world war forced them to move to neutral Switzerlandin Zurich . Here he began working on Ulysses. After a brief return to Trieste he lived in Parisfrom 1920 . He did not want to live in Ireland and responded to questions with, "did I ever leave?"

In Ulysses, Joyce used the myths of Odysseus Penelope and Telemachus in a modern setting. Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly Bloom and Stephen Dedalus and respectively play the leading roles and show through a parody of the contrast with their mythical models. The book let life in Dublin, with the emphasis on the decline and the monotony of the city.

Ulysses In 1922 was eventually published by the Paris bookshop Shakespeare and Company, and it turned out to be an immediate success. In 1931, he married Nora Barnacle. [1]  In1939 became the first complete version of Finnegans Wake released at Faber and Faber. From this work (as well as from letters to his wife Noria) also shows his interest in sexuality. Acted as a decoy In a colorful language he describes taboo topics such as nudity, voyeurism and masturbation.

At the beginning of the Second World War, in 1940, fled Joyce with his family back to Zurich where he a few months later, on 13 January 1941, died in the Red Cross Hospital.

James Joyce is buried in the Fluntern cemetery in Zurich. When Nora died ten years later, she was first buried separately. In 1966, 25 years after his death, however, the municipality gave them a monumental Tomb, where Zurich later also his son Giorgio and his second wife were buried. In addition to the grave stands a bronze statue of James Joyce, created by the American artist Milton Hebald. ==Appreciation and influence<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The work of Joyce has many interpretations, innumerable times in the past century is subject of literary study and was a major influence on a multitude of writers of all kinds, such as Samuel Beckett,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2" len="163" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[2]  Robert Anton Wilson, John Updike and Joseph Campbell.
