This article aims at providing a general view on translation according to Friedrich Schleiermacher and José Ortega y Gasset, extending to a discussion on the translation of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, centered on the adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of James Joyce ́s poetic style. Being aware of the diversity of both languages with their own melody, cadence, and rhythm, an attempt was made to transfer to Portuguese, as much as possible, Joyce ́s peculiar and outstanding style. The preservation of the repetition of words and connectives used by Joyce was essential, for not only does it help to suggest the psychic development of Stephen Dedalus, but it also lends greater musicality to his language.
