The young poet Stephen has been recalled from Paris to Dublin to be at his mother's deathbed. But he refuses her dying wishes: to kneel and pray for her. Now, holed up in his Martello tower outside the city walls, he has to suffer the taunts of Buck Mulligan by day and, by night, the vision of 'her eyes, shaking out of death to shake and bend my soul.' Timelessly evocative, Ulysses is far more than the story of Stephen Dedalus' journey through Dublin.It is a huge, rich portrayal of human life. In this magnificent, highly accessible, part reading part dramatisation - which includes the famous Molly Bloom soliloquy - the power and truth of Joyce's vision is as potent as ever

A captivating exploration of early 20th-century Irish consciousness, this literary work encapsulates the quintessential essence of Irish linguistics and sensibilities. It depicts a nation held captive by Anglo-Saxon powers yet emerging as a spiritual juggernaut in limbo, resonating with profound reflections on the worlds of Shakespeare, Homer, and the modern global order, among others.Throughout its narrative, the book effortlessly transitions between perspectives of an erudite library historian and a humble town drunk, unfettered by any inhibiting reservations, thereby illuminating its profound complexity and depth. In an age dominated by the ethos of optimization and scalability, this unfinished masterpiece stands as a towering antithesis. James Joyce's consciousness emerges as an organic entity brimming with myriad variables in perfect harmony, defying any attempts by artificial intelligence to replicate its essence.
