About the Book: James Joyce’s Ulysses follows a single day in Dublin—16 June 1904—through the lives of Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom, and Molly Bloom. A landmark of modernist literature, the novel explores human experience through themes of identity, memory, love, desire, art, and everyday life. Celebrated for its experimental style, humour, complexity, and linguistic innovation, Ulysses has remained one of the most influential works of the 20th century despite controversy and censorship. This Penguin edition presents Joyce’s masterpiece with scholarly notes and an introduction by leading Joycean expert Andrew Gibson.
