Ulysses

One city, one day, the universe condensed into one novel. Breathtaking, challenging, puzzling and funny.

James Joyce's novel, first published in 1922, traces the experiences of Mr Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly and fledgling artist Stephen Dedalus on Thursday, June 16, 1904, in Dublin. As its title suggests the book is loosely analogous to Homer's Odyssey.
