Ignore what other people say....

...Ulysses is not as hard as they suggest. All you need is a good set of notes, lots of tea, and some stamina (and ideally a friend who's already read it).... READ MORE

Synopsis

'Everybody knows now that Ulysses is the greatest novel of the century' - Anthony Burgess, The Observer

Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition.

It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.

Poor quality

Physically not a great binding. This is an average quality hardback with a few illustrations. Maybe the contents will make up for it.
