Ulysses

📒 Ulysses, James Joyce's great masterpiece, is one of the most famous and celebrated works in modern literature. Written over a seven-year period in three different cities, it has survived bowdlerization, legal action, bitter controversy and persistent misunderstanding. Literature, as Joyce tells us through the character of Stephen Dedalus, 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'. As a supreme example of that affirmation, as an evocation of Dublin and of his two main characters, Stephen and Leopold Bloom, and as an enduring demonstration of Joyce's belief in kinship among disparate things, Ulysses challenged and re-shaped the literary boundaries of our century.
