ulysses (novel)

Ulysses is a 1922 mock-heroic modernist novel by James Joyce celebrating, in detail, the events of Dubliners Leopold Bloom, his wife, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus on June 16, 1904. Ulysses is a landmark of modernist literature and has been variously considered to be one of the supreme achievements of world literature. The novel's structure loosely parallels, on a mundane level, the events of Homer's Odyssey.
