Ulysses / James Joyce

A major achievement in 20th-century literature.

Loosely based on Homer's Odyssey, this landmark of modern literature follows ordinary Dubliners in 1904.

Capturing a single day in the life of Dubliner Leopold Bloom, his friends Buck Mulligan and Stephen Dedalus, his wife Molly, and a scintillating cast of supporting characters, Joyce pushes Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. Captivating experimental techniques range from interior monologues to exuberant wordplay and earthy humor.
