Riassunto

Il più grande romanzo del ventesimo secolo, ora in una splendida edizione centenaria Clothbound Classics Seguendo gli eventi di un singolo giorno a Dublino, il 16 giugno 1904, e ciò che accade ai personaggi Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom e sua moglie Molly, Ulisse .È un monumento alla condizione umana. È sopravvissuto alla censura, alle controversie e alle azioni legali, ed .È stato persino ritenuto blasfemo, ma rimane un classico modernista indiscusso: incessantemente inventivo, loquace, divertente, triste, volgare, lirico e in definitiva redentivo. Conferma la convinzione di Joyce che la letteratura .È l' affermazione dello spirito dell'uomo .

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

James Joyce was born in Dublin on 2 February 1882, the eldest of ten children in a family which, after brief prosperity, collapsed into poverty. He was none the less educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, and displayed considerable academic and literary ability. Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all his fiction. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses (1922) and its controversial successor Finnegans Wake (1939), as well as the short story collection Dubliners (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). James Joyce died in Zürich, on 13 January 1941.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th of June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.
