A Readers Edition
Editied by Danis Rose
Ulysses - undoubtebly one of the masterpieces of the English language and the novel most expressive of the
pysche of modern man and women - tells the sadly comic story of Leopold Bloom, a good man led by love,
attempting to come to terms with loss: the deaths of his son and of his father, the departure of his daughter from home, the passing of his youth, and the adultery of his wife. Joyce meticulously recreates the place and the time - Dublin, 16 June 1904 - in which Bloom, in the midst of the vicissitudes of an otherwise nondescript day, contemplates the void of uncertainty where we all shall stand.
