Ulysses by James Joyce is widely regarded as one of the greatest literary achievements of the 20th century, and often cited among the best books ever written. First published in 1922, the novel revolutionized modern literature with its innovative narrative techniques—most notably, stream of consciousness, interior monologue, and shifting literary styles that mirror the thoughts and emotions of its characters. Set over the course of a single day—June 16, 1904—in Dublin, the novel follows Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly, and the young writer Stephen Dedalus, in a modern reimagining of Homer's Odyssey. Joyce transforms the mundane into the mythic, capturing the richness of human consciousness and the complexity of everyday life with extraordinary depth and precision. Challenging, provocative, and endlessly rewarding, Ulysses continues to inspire scholars, writers, and readers for its daring exploration of identity, time, language, and the very nature of narrative itself.
