Title: Ulysses
Author: JOYCE JAMES

Part of the new Penguin James Joyce collection- reissues of Joyce’s work with fresh new settings and contemporary introductions and notes by leading scholars

Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th of June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic- ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce’s belief that literature ‘is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man’.

This new edition is based on the original 1922 edition, now the preferred text of Joyce’s masterwork, and includes an introduction by world-renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.
