Ulysses by James Joyce (1/4) - Full English Audiobook

"Ulysses," published in 1922 by Irish writer James Joyce, is widely considered one of the most important works of modernist literature. The novel takes place over the course of a single day, June 16, 1904, which is now celebrated worldwide as Bloomsday. It follows the journeys of Leopold Bloom, a Jewish advertising canvasser, and Stephen Dedalus, a young writer and teacher, as they wander through Dublin. The narrative parallels the structure of Homer's "Odyssey," with each chapter mirroring an episode from the ancient epic. Joyce's stream-of-consciousness technique, intricate puns, parodies, and allusions, as well as his rich characterizations, offer a sharp critique of the social and political landscape of early 20th-century Dublin.

James Joyce, born in 1882 in Dublin, Ireland, is one of the most influential and innovative writers of the 20th century. His experimental use of language and narrative forms challenged the conventions of the novel genre. His major works include "Dubliners," "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," and "Finnegans Wake."

So many people have trouble reading this book, yet its vocabulary is mostly standard, and the syntax, often original, is also quite understandable. This is not the best reading by any means, obviously an A.I. narrator, but it may help some get started, and once started, they are in for a treat, a book that can be read and reread for a lifetime. It's a good posting.
