Riassunto

Celebrando i 100 anni del capolavoro di Joyce L'autorevole testo di Hans Walter Gabler; con una nuova introduzione di Anne Enright. Ambientato interamente in un giorno, il 16 giugno 1904, Ulisse segue Leopold Bloom e Stephen Daedalus mentre svolgono le loro attività quotidiane a Dublino. Da questo punto di partenza, James Joyce costruisce un romanzo di straordinaria ricchezza e profondità immaginativa. Unico nella storia della letteratura, Ulisse è una delle opere più importanti e piacevoli del ventesimo secolo. Sopravvissuto a innumerevoli controversie, censure e persino accuse di blasfemia, questa edizione centenaria di Ulisse è confezionata in una nuova confezione dal design audace, degna del suo status di uno dei romanzi più noti e influenti mai scritti. "Il più grande romanzo del secolo" Anthony Burgess Ulisse ha avuto una profonda influenza sulla narrativa moderna... Indimenticabile" Guardian "Un'opera di grande genialità" Independent

Informazioni sull?autore

James Joyce (Author)
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.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Ulysses, one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, has had a profound influence on modern fiction. In a series of episodes covering the course of a single day, 16 June 1904, the novel traces the movements of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets of Dublin. Each episode has its own literary style, and the epic journey of Odysseus is only one of many correspondencies that add layers of meaning to the text.
