Ulysses

James Joyce’s Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through Dublin on a single day in June 1904. As their paths unfold across the city, ordinary encounters, private memories, conversations and domestic concerns expand into a richly layered portrait of modern life. The novel’s setting is precise and vividly observed, yet its scope reaches far beyond one day and one city.

Renowned for its inventive language, shifting narrative techniques, interior monologue and intricate literary echoes, Ulysses is a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It combines comedy, sensuality, intellectual play and emotional depth, rewarding both close study and patient reading. This English-language Everyman’s Library edition presents Joyce’s complete novel for readers of literary classics, modernist fiction and ambitious experimental prose.
