Author(s): James Joyce

Classic

Ulysses by James Joyce is a modern fictional take on Homer's epic poem The 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. James Joyce's captivating experimental techniques in Ulysses range from interior monologues to exuberant wordplay and earthy humor.
