About the Author

James Joyce was born on February 2, 1882, in Dublin, Ireland, into a large Catholic family. Joyce was a very good pupil, studying poetics, languages, and philosophy at Clongowes Wood College, Belvedere College, and the Royal University in Dublin. Joyce taught school in Dalkey, Ireland, before show more marrying in 1904. Joyce lived in Zurich and Triest, teaching languages at Berlitz schools, and then settled in Paris in 1920 where he figured prominently in the Parisian literary scene, as witnessed by Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Joyce's collection of fine short stories, Dubliners, was published in 1914, to critical acclaim. Joyce's major works include A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, and Stephen Hero. Ulysses, published in 1922, is considered one of the greatest English novels of the 20th century. The book simply chronicles one day in the fictional life of Leopold Bloom, but it introduces stream of consciousness as a literary method and broaches many subjects controversial to its day. As avant-garde as Ulysses was, Finnegans Wake is even more challenging to the reader as an important modernist work. Joyce died just two years after its publication, in 1941.

The Dead (The Art of the Novella) by James Joyce

This was really great, exactly what I needed and I read it in one sitting. You can tell that the characters are holding back and when they finally reveal what they are thinking, it’s so powerful. The setting was also very well described, I felt so cold in the hotel room at the end just by the descriptions.

My relationship with this book is a private one, it can't produce a worthwhile review, thus I will simply reference the following excerpt:
To discover the mode of life or of art whereby your spirit could express itself in unfettered freedom.

Ulisse by James Joyce

Riuscirà Stephen Dedalus a trovare l'ispirazione, il proprio pubblico, una figura paterna e un po' di pace spirituale?
Riuscirà Leopold Bloom a riconquistare il talamo nuziale, la paternità perduta e il cuore della propria infedele, eppur saggia, moglie?
Riuscirà il nostro Leopold almeno a tornare a casa dopo una giornata di avventure per le strade della Dublino di inizio secolo?
Riusciranno i due uomini ad incontrarsi fortuitamente?
Soprattutto, cosa ne pensa Molly Bloom?

Ulysses (Wordsworth Classics) by James Joyce

Will Stephen Dedalus find his inspiration, his public, his lost spiritual father, his peace of mind?
Will Leopold Bloom reconquer his nuptial talamus, his lost paternity and the heart of his unfaithful yet trustworthy wife?
Will he make it home after a day's adventure up and down the streets of 1904 Dublin?
Will the two men succeed in fortuitously meeting each other?
More than anything else, what does Molly Bloom think of all this?

Find it out through 682 pages of fun, spelling puns & plays on words, literary criticism, stage play, nursery rhymes, many deaths plus one birth, cathechism, interior monologues, journalistic scandals, ghostly apparitions, sex, drugs and light opera music, brothels and brawls, and meet the Dubliners (nearly all of them, indeed)!

This time, I read the Italian translation at the same time, and The Bloomsday Book. Much satisfaction!
I won't add my unrequested farty opinion to the flood of words written on the subject.
Let me just share my experienced Bloomer's tips: stop thinking about how descouraging Ulysses is, and try to enjoy. If (when) you don't understand, seek for help by a companion book. If you get the idea that there is more it than you can actually understand at the moment, well, you are probably right. It simply means that, one day, you will read it again after some research. Or maybe not.

And, yes, it's forbiddingly difficult at moments. It's literature, baby, and there's nothing you can do about it.… (more)
