?Let my country die for me.? A modern retelling of Homer?s Odyssey, James Joyce?s Ulysses is touted as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. In a series of events that take place on a single day, 16 June 1904, the novel chronicles the movements of Leopold Bloom, Mary Bloom and Stephen Dedalus, as they act as the contemporary counterparts of Telemachus, Odysseus and Penelope from the epic poem. Holding a mirror to modernist concerns, Joyce draws up a convincing picture of the similarities and the stark differences between his novel and the epic. Highly evocative, Ulysses has had a deep impact on literature and grips readers with its characterization and sardonic humour.

Autorenporträt
James Joyce was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1882 and is considered one of the most influential modernist writers of the 20th century. He studied at University College Dublin, where he developed his interest in literature, philosophy, and languages. His early works, including Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, established his reputation as a groundbreaking writer who explored themes of identity, exile, and human consciousness.Joyce spent much of his adult life in self-imposed exile, living in cities such as Paris, Zurich, and Trieste. During this period, he completed his most famous work, Ulysses (1922), which revolutionized the modern novel with its stream-of-consciousness technique and intricate structure. Although controversial and banned in several countries for its explicit content, Ulysses became a landmark of literary innovation and remains a key text in the modernist canon.His final major work, Finnegans Wake (1939), further pushed the boundaries of language and narrative complexity. Joyce's innovative use of language, his deep engagement with Irish identity, and his examination of the inner workings of the mind have cemented his legacy as one of the great literary figures of the 20th century. He died in Zurich in 1941.
