Synopsis "Ulysses "

Ulysses by James Joyce is one of the greatest masterpieces of modernist literature. Brilliant and sparkling, this book is a stunning portrait of internal psychological processes. The novel is as difficult to summarize as it is difficult to read, but it has a remarkably simple story. This is the story of one day in Dublin, Ireland (June 16, 1904) in the life, primarily, of Leopold Bloom, but including Stephen Dedalus and Molly Bloom, as well as a host of other characters. Intoxicating, powerful, often incredibly disconcerting, Ulysses is a tour de force by a truly great writer. In all this is a very clever book, that is erudite, full of humour and intelligence and is certainly worth reading.

James Joyce (Dublin, 1882-Zurich, 1941) was an Irish writer, globally recognized as one of the most important and influential of the 20th century, acclaimed for his masterpiece, Ulysses (1922), and for his controversial later novel, Finnegans Wake (1939). His series of short stories titled Dubliners (1914), as well as his semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), have also been highly valued. Joyce is a prominent representative of the avant-garde literary movement known as Anglo-Saxon modernism, alongside authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Ezra Pound, or Wallace Stevens.
