"Ulysses is a novel by James Joyce first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on February 2 1922 in Paris. Many consider it one of the most important works of Modernist literature. Ulysses chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day June 16 1904. The title parallels and alludes to Odysseus Latinised into Ulysses the hero of Homer's Odyssey e.g. the correspondences between Leopold Bloom and Odysseus Molly Bloom and Penelope and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus. Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate June 16 as Bloomsday. Ulysses totals about 265000 words from a vocabulary of 30030 words including proper names plurals and various verb tenses divided into 18 'episodes'. Since publication the book attracted controversy and scrutiny ranging from early obscenity trials to protracted textual 'Joyce Wars.' Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique careful structuring and experimental prose - full of puns parodies and allusions - as well as its rich characterisations and broad humour made the book a highly regarded novel in the Modernist pantheon. In 1999 the Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Vintage Books / Penguin Random House LLC paperback books
