Ulysses by James Joyce

Ulysses, James Joyce’s modernist masterpiece, follows the wanderings of Leopold Bloom through Dublin over a single day, June 16, 1904. Rooted in The Odyssey, the novel parallels Homer’s epic with Bloom as a modern-day Odysseus, exploring profound themes within ordinary events and the intersecting lives of Bloom, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus.

Joyce’s experimental style, with stream-of-consciousness prose, rich allusions, and diverse literary imitations, challenges and entertains with its humor and complexity. Hailed as one of literature’s greatest achievements, Ulysses remains a seminal work, celebrated by fans worldwide on Bloomsday, June 16.
