Ulysses, a novel by the Irish writer James Joyce, is a key text of literary modernism. Divided into 18 chapters, it follows the structure of Homer’s Odyssey, the ancient Greek epic poem.
All the action of Ulysses takes place in and immediately around Dublin on a single day (June 16, 1904). The three central characters—Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom, a Jewish advertising canvasser; and his wife, Molly—are intended to be modern counterparts of Telemachus, Ulysses and Penelope, respectively, and the events of the novel loosely parallel the major events in Odyssey’s journey home after the Trojan War.
A hardback edition with bottle green boards, gilt lettering and clipped dust cover. There is foxing and toning throughout but the text is clear and legible. The dust jacket is faded, rubbed and torn along the edges and the front is totally detached from the back. There is a previous owner’s dedication on the front inside page in black ink. There is a previous seller’s paper label on the inside front board. Now in a clear, removable cover to protect from damage.
Publisher: The Bodley Head, London.
Publication Date: 1955. ( with the first edition having been published in 1937).
