ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Dublin Odyssey of Stream of Consciousness, Bloomsday, and Irish Modernist FictionBy James Joyce
Length33h 15m
About this audiobook
James Joyce's ULYSSES is a landmark of modernist fiction, tracing a single day—16 June 1904—in Dublin through the intertwined movements of Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom. Loosely patterned on Homer's Odyssey, the novel transforms epic journeying into urban wandering, domestic longing, and inward consciousness. Its shifting styles, linguistic experiments, parody, stream of consciousness, and dense allusiveness place it at the center of twentieth-century literary innovation. Joyce, born in Dublin in 1882 and long self-exiled in continental Europe, drew upon an exacting memory of his native city and a profound skepticism toward Irish nationalism, Catholic authority, and conventional realism. Having already developed Stephen Dedalus in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Joyce expanded his artistic project in ULYSSES into an encyclopedic portrait of modern life, shaped by classical learning, music, politics, exile, and intimate human experience. This Modern Classics Series edition is recommended for readers prepared to meet difficulty with patience and curiosity. ULYSSES rewards rereading: beneath its formidable reputation lies an astonishingly humane novel about desire, grief, humor, marriage, memory, and the ordinary grandeur of being alive.
