Ulysses [Facsimile of 1922 First Edition]

Meer over het boek

Set in Dublin on June 16, 1904, the narrative follows Leopold Bloom's ordinary day, paralleling the journey of Odysseus from Homer's Odyssey. The novel employs a stream-of-consciousness technique and is known for its experimental prose, rich characterizations, and humor. With 18 episodes and a lexicon of over 30,000 words, it has been a focal point of Modernist literature and has faced significant controversy, including obscenity trials. Recognized as a cornerstone of modernism, it was ranked first in the Modern Library's list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
