Partially serialised in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 the entire work was published in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922 Joyce's fortieth birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and a classic of the genre having been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". Ulysses chronicles the experiences of three Dubliners over the course of a single day 16 June 1904 which its fans now celebrate annually as Bloomsday. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey and the novel establishes a series of parallels between Leopold Bloom and Odysseus Molly Bloom and Penelope and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus. There are also correspondences with William Shakespeare's play Hamlet and with other literary religious and mythological figures including Jesus Elijah Moses Dante Alighieri and Don Juan. Such themes as antisemitism human sexuality British rule in Ireland Catholicism and Irish nationalism are treated in the context of early-20th-century Dublin. It is highly allusive and written in a variety of styles. The writer Djuna Barnes quoted Joyce as saying "The pity is . the public will demand and find a moral in my book—or worse they may take it in some more serious way and in the honour of a gentleman there is not one single serious line in it. . In Ulysses I have recorded simultaneously what a man says sees thinks and what such seeing thinking saying does to what you Freudians call the subconscious." According to the writer Declan Kiberd "Before Joyce no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". Its stream of consciousness technique careful structuring and prose of an experimental nature—replete with puns parodies epiphanies and allusions—as well as its rich characterisation and broad humour have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works. Since its publication it has attracted controversy and scrutiny ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted disputes about the authoritative version of the text. Background: Joyce first encountered the figure of Odysseus/Ulysses in Charles Lamb's Adventures of Ulysses an adaptation of the Odyssey for children which seems to have established the Latin name in Joyce's mind. At school he wrote an essay on the character titled "My Favourite Hero". Joyce told Frank Budgen that he considered Ulysses the only all-round character in literature. He considered writing another short story for Dubliners to be titled "Ulysses" and based on a Jewish Dubliner named Alfred H. Hunter a putative cuckold. The idea grew from a story in 1906 to a "short book" in 1907 to the vast novel he began in 1914. James Augustine Aloysius Joyce born James Augusta Joyce; 2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941 was an Irish novelist poet and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist movement and is regarded among the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. Joyce's novel Ulysses 1922 is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles particularly stream of consciousness. His other well-known works include the short-story collection Dubliners 1914 and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man 1916 and Finnegans Wake 1939. His other writings include two books of poetry a play correspondence and occasional journalism. Born in Dublin into a middle-class family Joyce attended the Jesuit Clongowes Wood College in County Kildare then briefly the Christian Brothers–run O'Connell School. Despite the chaotic family life imposed by his father's unpredictable finances he excelled at the Jesuit Belvedere College and graduated from University College Dublin in 1902. In 1904 he met his future wife Nora Barnacle and they moved to mainland Europe. He briefly worked in Pola now in Croatia and then moved to Trieste in Austria-Hungary working as an English instructor. Except for an eight-month stay in Rome working as a correspondence clerk and three visits to Dublin Joyce lived there until 1915. In Trieste he published his book of poems Chamber Music and his short-story collection Dubliners and began serially publishing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in the English magazine The Egoist. During most of World War I Joyce lived in Zurich Switzerland and worked on Ulysses. After the war he briefly returned to Trieste and in 1920 moved to Paris which was his primary residence until 1940. Ulysses was first published in Paris in 1922 but its publication in the United Kingdom and the United States was prohibited owing to its perceived obscenity. Copies were smuggled into both countries and pirated versions were printed until the mid-1930s when publication became legal. Ulysses frequently ranks high in lists of the greatest books and academic literature analysing Joyce's work is extensive and ongoing. Many writers film-makers and other artists have been influenced by his stylistic innovations such as his meticulous attention to detail use of interior monologue wordplay and the radical transformation of traditional plot and character development. Though most of his adult life was spent abroad his fictional universe centres on Dublin and is largely populated by characters who closely resemble family members enemies and friends from his time there. Ulysses is set in the city's streets and alleyways. Joyce is quoted as saying: "For myself I always write about Dublin because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal." In 1923 Joyce started his next major work Finnegans Wake. It was published in 1939. Between these years he travelled widely. He and Nora were married in a civil ceremony in London in 1931. He made several trips to Switzerland frequently seeking treatment for his increasingly severe eye problems and psychological help for his daughter Lucia. When Germany occupied France during World War II Joyce moved back to Zurich in 1940. He died there in 1941 after surgery for a perforated ulcer at age 58. NOTE: This is an original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don computer scientist food and wine connoisseur Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide 'Midsummer House'- Cambridge's paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. In 2008 Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation alongside other members of the Department and acted as the Foundation's Chair. The project's original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a "success disaster" as Jack would say as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK's most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning. The Bodley Head. hardcover
2012réf. FB2157 /L1. In the original dustsheet. Black board binding with white title on the spine. A great copy of a seminal book Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and then published in its entirety in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922 Joyce's 40th birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement." According to Declan Kiberd "Before Joyce no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". Ulysses chronicles the appointments and encounters of the itinerant Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus Molly Bloom and Penelope and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism Dublin and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel is highly allusive and also imitates the styles of different periods of English literature. Since its publication the book has attracted controversy and scrutiny ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". The novel's stream of consciousness technique careful structuring and experimental prose—replete with puns parodies and allusions—as well as its rich characterisation and broad humour have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history; Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday.

Spine a little darkened cloth of joints splitting but binding tight. Marginal pencil notes throughout. Hamburg’s Odyssey Press issued Ulysses in several versions in December 1932 with a significant text revised by Stuart Gilbert at Joyce’s own request: Slocum and Cahoon give apparent priority to the relatively common two-volume paperback edition of the same month though it seems likely that it was issued simultaneously with this much scarcer india-paper single-volume edition and both slightly before the special two-volume signed issue. Since the Shakespeare and Company printings the early American piracy and the two-volume Odyssey Press edition were all in wrappers this is therefore the first publication of the text in hardcover form preceding the authorised American edition by more than a year.

In very good condition. A striking artist’s binding of Joyce’s masterpiece. Ulysses was published in Paris by Shakespeare & Company 1922. It was a struggle for the author to find a publisher a comic irony considering that Ulysses is "universally hailed as the most influential work of modern times" Grolier Joyce 69. Ulysses was an immediate success. The first printing sold out and "within a year Joyce had become a well-known literary figure. Ulysses was explosive in its impact on the literary world of 1922" de Grazia 27. Even so the book faced difficulties in global reception. It was banned in the U.K. and was prosecuted for the obscenity in the Nausicaa episode Ellmann 1982. Joyce's inspiration for the novel began as a young boy reading Charles Lamb's Adventures of Ulysses and writing an essay entitled "My Favorite Hero" after being impressed by the wholeness of the character Goreman 1939. The idea for the novel grew from a story in Dubliners in 1906 which Joyce expanded into a short book in 1907 before reconceptualizing it as the heady novel in 1914 Ellmann 1982. The book can initially seem unstructured and chaotic and Joyce admitted that he "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant" The Observer 2000. The French translator Stuart Gilbert published a defense of Ulysses shortly after its publication in which he supported the novel's use of obscenity and explained its internal structure and links to the Odyssey against accusations of ambiguity. Every episode Gilbert explained is connected to the Odyssey by theme technique and correspondence between characters. Another instance of Ulysses' literary contribution is his use of stream-of-consciousness a technique employing carefully structured prose both humorous and charactering and involving puns and parodies. Joyce was a precursor to the use of stream of consciousness in the later decades. Similar narrative techniques were used by his contemporaries Virginia Woolf William Faulkner and Italo Svevo. Their style can be better characterized as an "interior monologue rather than stream of consciousness is the appropriate term for the style in which subjective experience is recorded both in The Waves and in Woolf's writing generally" Stevenson 1992.
