Description

Ulysses: A Reader's Odyssey by Daniel Mulhall As we celebrate the centenary of James Joyce's masterpiece, this book offers a fresh perspective on Ulysses, one of the twentieth century's greatest works of fiction. Written by Daniel Mulhall, an expert on Irish literature, this guide explores the novel's literary, historical and cultural elements, and shows how it can be enjoyed by readers today. By using the famous structuring principle of Homer's Odyssey as its guide, Ulysses: A Reader's Odyssey takes us on a journey through the novel's eighteen chapters, releasing it from its reputation of impenetrability. Mulhall's eloquent and erudite writing makes this book an initiation into the wonders of Joyce's writing and the world that inspired it. This book is an ideal introduction to Ulysses for readers who may find the novel daunting, and a welcome companion for those already familiar with it.
