Ulysses

James Joyce turns an ordinary day into one of literature’s most extraordinary adventures. Celebrating 100 Years of Joyce’s masterpiece. The authoritative Hans Walter Gabler text, with a new introduction by Anne Enright. Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this ordinary day, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness, comic range and formal invention. A landmark of modernist fiction, Ulysses transforms city streets, meals, conversations, memories and private thoughts into one of literature’s most ambitious journeys. Its influence on twentieth-century fiction is immense, but its subject remains vividly human: how people move through a city, through language and through the hidden life of the mind. This centenary edition comes in a bold new package befitting one of the most notorious and influential novels ever written.
