Ulysses

Widely regarded as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, Ulysses is James Joyce’s towering modernist masterpiece, a bold, richly layered reimagining of Homer’s Odyssey set over the course of a single day in Dublin.

First published in its entirety in 1922, Ulysses follows the thoughts, encounters, and inner lives of three main characters, Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom, as they navigate the ordinary yet deeply symbolic events of 16th June 1904. Through its stream-of-consciousness narrative, linguistic experimentation, and profound psychological insight, Joyce reshaped the possibilities of fiction and redefined the novel for generations to come.

Controversial in its time for both style and subject matter, Ulysses was initially banned in several countries, yet has since come to be celebrated for its groundbreaking artistry and emotional depth. A cornerstone of modern literature, Ulysses is a challenging, exhilarating, and essential read.
