Ulysses

James Joyce’s astonishing masterpiece, ‘Ulysses’, tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom’s voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery. Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway. Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience. AUTHOR: James Joyce (1882 1941) was an Irish novelist and playwright, and is considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. His short story collection, ‘Dubliners’, and his novels ‘A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man’, ‘Ulysses’ and ‘Finnegans Wake’ are unique.
