Book detail: Ulysses, is presented as a focused source page for quotations connected with this book, collection, transcript, or source record.
Ulysses is a landmark modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce, first published in 1922. The book chronicles the peripatetic encounters and inner thoughts of Leopold Bloom, an advertising salesman, and Stephen Dedalus, a young artist, on June 16, 1904, in Dublin. The narrative employs a stream-of-consciousness technique, extensive allusions, and experimental language to explore themes of identity, mortality, and the mundane. Each episode loosely corresponds to an episode in Homer's epic poem The Odyssey, with Bloom as a modern Ulysses. The novel is renowned for its complexity, depth, and influence on 20th-century literature.
