Ulysses - James Joyce - 1961 Modern Library edition

One day in Dublin. One epic journey through the human mind. Joyce's masterpiece follows Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom through the streets of Dublin on June 16, 1904, transforming an ordinary day into an extraordinary exploration of the human condition. In eighteen episodes, each uniquely styled to mirror Homer's Odyssey, Joyce revolutionizes the novel form. Through stream of consciousness, parody, newspaper headlines, musical rhythms, and dream sequences, he creates a polyphonic masterpiece that captures the full range of human experience—from the sacred to the profane, the sublime to the ridiculous. Both celebrated and controversial since its first publication in 1922, Ulysses remains a towering achievement of modernist literature. Joyce's linguistic virtuosity, his penetrating wit, and his profound understanding of the human heart continue to astonish, delight, and challenge readers.
