Ulysses by James Joyce

Ulysses by James Joyce

'It is the book to which we are all indebted and from which none of us can escape.' T.S. Eliot Ulysses is one of the great masterpieces of the twentieth century. Loosely modelled on the wanderings of Homer's Ulysses, the novel follows the interwoven paths of Stephen Dedalus, bitterly estranged from his father, and the middle-aged Dubliner, Leopold Bloom, still grieving for his dead infant son. Over the course of twenty-four hours, their unwitting quest for each other – surrogate son for surrogate father – is enacted against an extraordinary, celebratory portrait of the city of Dublin. This edition is the standard Bodley Head text from 1960.

'His standing is second to none among writers of our own centuryHe was witty, difficult, subtle and perhaps the greatest genius among the many who have come from Ireland to bewilder the world with the magic of art.' Irish Independent

James Joyce was born in Dublin on 2nd February 1882. He was educated at Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, where he studied philosophy and languages. Joyce died in Zurich on 13th January 1941.
