Loosely based on the Odyssey this landmark of modern literature follows ordinary Dubliners in 1904. Capturing a single day in the life of Dubliner Leopold Bloom his friends Buck Mulligan and Stephen Dedalus his wife Molly and a scintillating cast of supporting characters Joyce pushes Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. Captivating experimental techniques range from interior monologues to exuberant wordplay and earthy humor. A major achievement in 20th century literature.
