The greatest novel of the twentieth century, now in a beautiful Clothbound Classics centenary edition Followingthe events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th of June 1904, and whathappens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wifeMolly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survivedcensorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemedblasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselesslyinventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimatelyredemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature'is the eternalaffirmation of the spirit of man'.
