"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

1958ref. JJ048London: John Lane The Bodley Head 1958 First unlimited edition eighth printing 'Cheap Edition" to dust jacket flap. Publisher's green cloth with the Homeric bow device designed by Eric Gill stamped in blind to front board spine lettered in gilt; in the original pale green dust jacket lettered in black with the Homeric bow on the spine with an advertisement for James Joyce by Herbert Gorman on the rear panel. Very good book with moderate spotting to first few pages and edges of text block boards square and spine bright; very good or better unclipped dust jacket with top edge lightly worn upper and lower edges of flaps somewhat faded and very faint spotting to right edge of front panel barely noticeable. Overall a crisp and bright copy of Joyce's masterpiece. Considered one of the most important works of Modernist literature Ulysses was first published serially in The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 at which time copies of the magazine were seized and the magazine's publishers were taken to trial due to the sexually explicit nature of the novel. Because of the controversy surrounding Ulysses Joyce was unable to find a publisher for the book until his friend Sylvia Beach the American owner of Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris agreed to publish it. The stream-of-consciousness novel follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus through Dublin on an ordinary day June 16 1904-notably the same day that Joyce first went on a date with Nora Barnacle who would later become his wife. The book is heavily fragmented and allusive with a structure that loosely parallels Homer's The Odyssey. Regarding the book's complexity Joyce said "I've put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant and that's the only way of ensuring one's immortality.".
