Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this starting point, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness and depth. Unique in the history of literature, Ulysses is one of the most important and enjoyable works of the twentieth century.
The survivor of countless controversies, censorships and even claims of blasphemy, this centenary edition of Ulysses comes packaged in a boldly designed new package, befitting of its status as one of the most notorious and influential novels ever written.
