Ulysses chronicles the appointments and encounters of the itinerant Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904.
It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement." According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking." Parts of it were first serialized in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and the entire work was published in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's fortieth birthday. As with every Paravion edition, the first page is blank ‘for your correspondence’, and we’ve included a custom mailer, making this an excellent seasonal token of correspondence.Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. Our best selling title is available in a new, hardback edition, featuring specially commissioned illustrations by William Bock, and a variety of patterned cover by Carta Varese of Italy.
Written in 1907 in Trieste, Joyce’s “first great song of exile” has kept itself recommended to readers since its publication in 1914. Joyce’s masterful prose moves from the arresting purity of dialogue to the elegiac symbolism of Gabriel’s strangely consoling epiphany. A story in which little is explicitly endorsed, but much is suggested, love and loss intertwine in the concluding paragraphs as snow falls faintly over all of Ireland. Set against the backdrop of a country struggling to define itself, ‘The Dead’ tells the tale of a Christmas gathering in Dublin at which Gabriel Conroy, nephew of the hostesses, must make a speech.
