Ulysses

Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th of June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, ‘Ulysses’ is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce’s belief that literature ‘is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man’.

Description

A new edition of James Joyce’s masterpiece, based on the original 1922 edition, now considered the definitive text

‘Everybody knows now that Ulysses is the greatest novel of the century’ Anthony Burgess

Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th of June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses has been censored, attacked and even deemed blasphemous. Ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive, it confirms Joyce’s belief that literature ‘is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man’.

Ulysses is a living, shifting, deeply humane text that is also very funny. It makes the world bigger’ Anne Enright

With a new introduction by Andrew Gibson
