Ulysses is one of the greatest literary works in the English language. In his remarkable tour de force, Joyce catalogues one day -- June 16, 1904 -- in immense detail as Leopold Bloom wanders through Dublin, talking, observing, musing -- and always remembering Molly, his passionate, wayward wife. Set in the shadow of Homer's Odyssey, internal thoughts -- Joyce's famous stream of consciousness -- give physical reality extra colour and perspective.

Though Ulysses is widely regarded as a 'difficult' novel, this fresh and lively reading shows its comic genius as well as its great moments of poignance, making it more accessible than ever before.
