Resumo

The first Icelandic publications of works by James Joyce were translations of two stories from Dubliners (“A Little Cloud” and “Counterparts”) in 1946 and 1961.1 A third short story, “Eveline” was translated in 1962 by Sigur"ur A. Magnússon, who later would become the Joyce translator in Iceland, rendering Dubliners as a whole in 1982, Ulysses in 1992-93 (two volumes), and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in 2000.
