ULYSSES by JAMES JOYCE

A modernist novel by noted Irish writer of early twentieth century James Joyce, ‘Ulysses’ chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. ‘Ulysses’ is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer’s epic poem ‘Odyssey’, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, and many other characters.
