Product Description

First published in 1922, Ulysses was the piece of work that made the name of its author, James Joyce. Its publication was seen to expand the domain of permissible subjects in fiction.

A remarkably ambitious novel, a labyrinthine work of great humor and technical accomplishment, it once was denounced as obscene, occasionally was accused of being unreadable and is now generally acclaimed as being the greatest book of the 20th Century.

Although he spent most of his adult life outside of Ireland, Joyce s fictional universe was firmly rooted in Dublin, providing him with both setting and subject matter.

In James Joyce's Dublin: The Ulysses Tour , Robert Nicholson, curator of the James Joyce Museum, Sandycove, conducts us through Joyce's world, with great enthusiasm and an irreverent sensibility that Joyce would surely have relished. Whilst allowing himself a couple of very Irish digs at the great man, he shares his admiration for the writer with us, together with his love of the novel and the city that gave birth to it, in a manner that is entirely captivating.

Customer Reviews

Joyce's Dublin
This is a truly glorious renewal and reenactment of Joyce's Ulysses, as each of the episodes is renewed by way of a reenactment by way of the actual place and its environment. Thereby the whole novel is reenacted and we encounter again each of its characters in the very context of their Dublin world.
