«Ulysses» is James Joyce's modernist novel, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (1040 pages, in English).
The novel follows Leopold Bloom through the streets of Dublin on June 16, 1904, on an apparently ordinary day that Joyce turns into a mosaic of styles, interior monologues and echoes of the Odyssey. It portrays urban life, memory, desire and the search for identity with an ironic and humane eye.
The 1992 Penguin Classics edition, in English, includes an introduction by Declan Kiberd and corresponds to the fifth printing. The first edition of Ulysses appeared in 1922.
For readers of modernist fiction and twentieth-century Irish literary classics.
James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist, poet, and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist movement and is regarded among the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, particularly stream of consciousness. His other well-known works include the short-story collection Dubliners (1914) and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include two books of poetry, a play, correspondence, and occasional journalism.
