James Joyce’s Ulysses, a landmark of modernist literature, takes place over a single day—16 June 1904—in Dublin, as Leopold Bloom journeys through the city. Drawing structural inspiration from Homer’s Odyssey, Joyce reimagines classical figures in a modern context: Bloom as Odysseus, Molly as Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus as Telemachus. Through the innovative use of stream-of-consciousness narrative, Ulysses delves into the intricate inner lives of its characters, exploring themes of identity, time, memory, and the ordinary made extraordinary. First published in 1922, the novel’s layered language, literary allusions, and stylistic experimentation challenged conventions and redefined the possibilities of fiction. Its wit, depth, and humanity have secured its place as one of the most influential literary works ever written.

James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist, poet and avant-garde writer, widely regarded as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Born in Dublin, his works explore complex themes of identity, consciousness and the inner workings of the human mind. Joyce’s groundbreaking narrative techniques, including stream-of-consciousness, are evident in masterpieces like "Ulysses" and "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man." His deep connection to Dublin is celebrated through rich, intricate prose that paints a vivid portrait of the city. Joyce’s innovative contributions to literature continue to inspire writers and scholars worldwide.
