Reseña del libro "Ulysses (en Inglés)"
Welcome to James Joyce's Ulysses. In this classic edition of this novel, first published by Sylvia Beach in Paris, February 1922, we are proud to offer you the best Kindle edition of this literary classic featuring one of the most acclaimed stories of the 20th century. A man leaves home in the morning, fulfills his daily tasks, and returns home at night. It was around this deceptively simple, almost banal skeleton, that James Joyce drew up what came to be the one of the greatest novels ever written. Inspired by Homer's Odyssey, Ulysses is set in Dublin and follows the adventures of Leopold Bloom and his friend Stephen Dedalus, throughout June 16th, 1904. Like the Homeric Odysseus, Bloom must overcome numerous obstacles and temptations to return to the apartment in Eccles Street, where his wife, Molly, awaits. To create this rich and vibrant character, Joyce mixed numerous styles and cultural references, in a kaleidoscope of voices and tones, in such a way that still challenges generations of readers and scholars around the world. The cult around Ulysses began even before its publication in book form, when excerpts from the novel began to appear in a U.S. literary journal. Because of these passages, Ulysses was even banned in the United States, on charges of obscenity, triggering a lengthy legal war, which would be resolved only eleven years later, with the release of the novel on American soil. But beyond all the disputes and controversies, Ulysses remains as a groundbreaking novel, stretching and shaping the English language to its limits, in order to achieve a faithful, witty and moving portrait of what is conventionally called "the modern man". As you read this Mogul Classics edition of James Joyce's Ulysses, you will relive the most acclaimed novel of the 20th century. May all your dreams come true Mogul Classics Editor
