Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialised in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach in February 1922, in Paris. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking." However, even such a proponent of Ulysses as Anthony Burgess described the book as "inimitable, and also possibly mad".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 its characters and events and those of the poem (e.g., the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus).

This edition incorporates an original introduction from Moorside Press, including a biography, a critical discussion of Joyce's place in the history of English Literature and a short contextual discussion of the book.Serialised from 1917 and first published as a limited edition book in 1922, Ulysses was Joyce's third novel, by most accounts his best, and arguably the finest English language work of fiction written in the twentieth century. The plot, on the surface, concerns the actions and thoughts of Leopold Bloom during one day as he traverses Dublin. Under the surface, Joyce allows Bloom to enact the Homerian voyage of Ulysses (Odysseus in the Greek), as he traverses the seas on his return to his wife Penelope. By mixing legend and loose fact, ancient and modern, Joyce creates an epic background for Bloom, his friend Stephen Deadelus (playing Telemachus) and Molly Bloom (as Penelope), yet disguised beneath is the morbid banality of Dublin as it was in the first decades of the twentieth century. But that's not all. Joyce also makes use of different voices and different stylistic methods to push the narrative along. Realism pushed to an extreme contracts with the novel as a play, and then with a searing stream of consciousness for the finale which has later links to Sartre's second part of Iron in the Soul.The first few editions of Ulysses lacked imposed chapter headings that came to the attention of critics through Joyce's letters. Later editions have included these headings which make explicit the connections of the Homeric original. This digital edition from Moorside Press includes the chapter headings but also makes use of a 1933 Odyssey Edition to bring out the finer formatting, especially the use of italics and quotes which have been indented to help them stand out.

"Ulysses" is one of the greatest literary works in the English language. In his remarkable tour de force, Joyce catalogues one day - June 16, 1904 - in immense detail as Leopold Bloom wanders through Dublin, talking, observing, musing and always remembering Molly, his passionate, wayward wife. Set in the shadow of Homer's "Odyssey" and internal thoughts, Joyce's famous stream of consciousness give physical reality extra colour and perspective. This long-awaited unabridged recording of James Joyce's "Ulysses" is released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of degree Bloomsday. Regarded by many as the single most important novel of the 20th century, the abridged recording by Norton and Riordan released in the first year of "Naxos AudioBooks" (1994) is a proven bestseller. Now the two return - having recorded most of Joyce's other work - in a newly recorded unabridged production, directed by Joyce expert Roger Marsh.

The revised edition follows the complete and unabridged text of ULYSSES as corrected and reset in 1961. Like the first American edition of 1934, it also contains the original foreword by the author and the historic court ruling by Judge John M. Woolsey to remove the federal ban on ULYSSES. It also contains page references to the 1934 edition, which are indicated in the margins.
