Description

Controversial, scandalous, erudite and funny, "Ulysses" is a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day - 16th June 1904 - in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin, the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus and Bloom's wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts and encounters form the basis of the narrative, which becomes a celebration of all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time.

This edition also includes comprehensive notes by Joyce scholar Sam Slote.

Elegir leer este libro como motivo de mi viaje a Dublín creo que ha sido la mejor idea que he podido tener. Haber paseado por muchas de las calles que se mencionan en él le ha dado un mayor sentimiento de realidad que me ha ayudado a conectar mejor. Además, considero que la historia de Irlanda es increíblemente apasionante, y junto con lo que aprendí en el viaje, creo que me he llevado una lectura completa de sus problemas sociales, estructurales, de su gente... Todos los "cuentos" aportan algo, y Dublín se construía cada vez más nítida según seguía leyendo. A pesar de ello, quiero destacar "Eveline", "Un caso lamentable" y "Los muertos", mis favoritos.
