One of the most influential writers and poets of the modernist avant - garde of the early 20th century, James Joyce, was also a great traveler. Leaving his native Ireland in his early twenties, landscapes of Europe gave him artistic freedom and encouraged his creativity in novels like Ulysses and Portrait of the artist as a young man. It is believed, that the Adriatic sea and Opatija, which he visited regularly during the summer; before, during and after the First World War, were the inspiration for Joyce s novels, now considered classics of literature. Joyce s exploration of language and new literary forms didn t just reflect him as a superb writer, but they inspired numerous future generations.
