Ulysses

James Joyce turns an ordinary day into one of literature's most extraordinary adventures.

Celebrating 100 Years of Joyce's masterpiece.

The authoritative Hans Walter Gabler text, with a new introduction by Anne Enright.

Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this ordinary day, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness, comic range and formal invention.

A landmark of modernist fiction, Ulysses transforms city streets, meals, conversations, memories and private thoughts into one of literature's most ambitious journeys. Its influence on twentieth-century fiction is immense, but its subject remains vividly human: how people move through a city, through language and through the hidden life of the mind.

This centenary edition comes in a bold new package befitting one of the most notorious and influential novels ever written.

Autorentext
James Joyce was born on 2 February 1882 in Dublin. He studied modern languages at University College, Dublin. After graduating, Joyce moved to Paris for a brief period in 1902. In 1904 Joyce met Nora Barnacle, with whom he would spend the rest of his life and they moved to Europe and settled in Trieste where Joyce worked as a teacher. His first published work was a book of poems called Chamber Music (1907). This was followed by Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and the play Exiles (1918). In 1915 the First World War forced Joyce and Nora and their two children to move to Zürich. Joyce's most famous novel, Ulysses, was published in Paris in 1922. In the same year he started work on his last great book, Finnegan's Wake (1939). James Joyce died in Zürich on 13 January 1941. Anne Enright was born in Dublin, where she now lives and works. She has written two collections of stories, published together as Yesterday's Weather, one book of non-fiction, Making Babies, and eight novels, including The Gathering, which won the 2007 Man Booker Prize. Other award include the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction for The Forgotten Waltz, the Irish Book Awards Lifetime Achievement Award and Novel of the Year (which she has won twice), the Irish PEN Award for Outstanding Contribution to Irish Literature and the Seamus Heaney Award for Arts and Letters. In 2015 she was appointed as the first Laureate for Irish Fiction. Most recently she won the 2024 Writers' Prize for Fiction and the 2025 Windham-Campbell Prize for Fiction.
