Length32h 55m
About this audiobook
Ulysses: The Original 1922 Paris Edition presents James Joyce's revolutionary modernist epic in the form first issued by Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company. Set in Dublin on 16 June 1904, the novel follows Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom through ordinary errands, conversations, memories, and desires, transfiguring the everyday through Homeric parallels. Its styles range from interior monologue and parody to catechism, drama, and musical prose, making it a central monument of twentieth-century experimental fiction. James Joyce, born in Dublin in 1882, transformed his self-imposed exile into an act of imaginative return. Educated by Jesuits and steeped in Catholic theology, classical literature, Irish politics, and European languages, he wrote from Trieste, Zurich, and Paris while obsessively reconstructing the city he had left behind. Ulysses grows from these tensions: rebellion and fidelity, exile and memory, skepticism and spiritual hunger. This edition is essential for readers who want to encounter the novel near its historical source, with the audacity that scandalized censors and astonished writers. Demanding but deeply comic and humane, it rewards patient reading with one of literature's richest visions of consciousness, urban life, and embodied experience.
