Ulysses

"I have put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries." Set within the span of a single day in Dublin—June 16, 1904—James Joyce’s Ulysses is a monumental feat of Modernist literature that parallels the episodes of Homer’s Odyssey. Through the revolutionary use of "stream of consciousness," Joyce maps the inner lives of Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom with unprecedented intimacy and linguistic virtuosity. A symphonic celebration of the mundane and the monumental, this seminal work remains a towering achievement that transformed the ordinary events of a city day into an eternal epic of the human condition.
