Ulysses

Více o knize

Controversial, scandalous, erudite, and funny, Ulysses is a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day—16th June 1904—in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin: the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus, and Bloom’s wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts, and encounters form the basis of the narrative, celebrating all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time. Ulysses is both an experimental novel and a work intimately concerned with the events of modern life. A lively repository of literary allusion and colloquial realism, this dazzlingly innovative and ambitious novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the mundane aspects of daily existence. Joyce’s pioneering prose techniques and deep psychological insights elevate the narrative, making it a profound exploration of the human condition.
