Ulysse Ulysses

1929ref. JJ045Paris: La Maison des Amis des Livres 1929 Translated from the English by Mr. Auguste Morel assisted by Mr. Stuart Gilbert. Translation entirely revised by Mr. Valery Larbaud with the collaboration of the author. First French limited edition. One of 875 numbered copies printed on alfa vergé paper this being number 581 from a total limitation of 1200. Finely bound in near contemporary half navy morocco with blue marbled boards spine lettered in gilt with five raised bands top edge gilt blue marbled endpapers and original cream front wrapper bound in at front. Very good or better with some wear to spine corners lightly worn and front wrapper with repair to edges and light toning and staining. Overall a pleasing copy of this important translation of Joyce's tour de force. Slocum & Cahoon D17. This first French edition of Ulysses was the second translated edition of the book the first German edition was published in 1927 and one of only four translated editions published in Joyce's lifetime the other two being Czech 1930 and Japanese 1931. Interestingly key sections of the book were translated into French before the book was published in English for a "Special Session on James Joyce" hosted by Valery Larbaud and Adrienne Monnier Sylvia Beach's romantic and literary partner at Monnier's bookshop La Maison des Amis des Livres on December 7 1921 Ulysses was first published in English in 1922. Jacques-Benoist Méchin translated the final word of the book with a capitalized "Oui" which Joyce subsequently adopted for the English language version ".yes I said yes I will Yes" after a lengthy discussion with Méchin an artistic choice that contributed heavily to the enduring critical interest in that line. Assessing the impact of Ulysses T. S. Eliot said of Joyce "He single-handedly killed the 19th century." Ulysses is a stream-of-consciousness novel that follows Leopold Bloom 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.". First French Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. Paris: La Maison des Amis des Livres hardcover books

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.

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.". First Unlimited Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included. London: John Lane, The Bodley Head hardcover books
