Sobre este artículo
New York: The Modern Library, 1946. First Edition Thus, Later Printing. . Hardcover. Good Plus/Good Plus. Modern Library Giant, G52, first issued in 1946. Joyce's sometimes erotic "stream-of-consciousness" masterpiece that stands today as one of the true classics of Western literature. Both red-cloth covers show tape residue and some minor damage where at one time the dustjacket protector was taped to the top and bottom edges of the boards; a touch of wear along the boards' bottom edges; some tape-stain marks on both end pages; light age-tanning of page margins, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows some wrinkling and creasing; some age-tanning on the obverse; some minor edgewear but no significant tearing or chipping -- 99% whole. Overall, book and jacket, if a bit lacking in appearance, are tight, solid and complete.
Sinopsis
Ulysses is a modernist novel by James Joyce. It was first serialized in The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and later published by Shakespeare and Company in 1922. Originally, Joyce conceived of Ulysses as a short story to be included in Dubliners , but decided instead to publish it as a long novel, situated as a sort of sequel to A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man , picking up Stephen Dedalus’s life over a year later. Ulysses takes place on a single day, June 16, 1904, in Dublin - now celebrated as Bloomsday annually. Within the massive text of 265,000 words (not so “short” anymore, eh?), divided into 18 episodes, Joyce radically shifts narrative style with each new episode, completely abandoning the previously accepted notions of plot, setting, and characters. The presentation of a fragmented reality through interior perception in Ulysses , often through stream-of-consciousness, is one of many reasons it is considered a paramount in Modernist literature. Ulysses presents a series of parallels with Homer’s epic poem Odyssey (Ulysses is the Latinized name of Odysseus.) Not only can correspondences be drawn between the main characters of each text — Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus, Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, and Molly Bloom to Penelope, but each of the 18 episodes of Ulysses reflects an adventure from the Odyssey. In 1998, the American publishing firm Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. February 2022 will mark the centennial of the publishing of Ulysses , with auctions, sales, and celebrations by Joyce fans scheduled around the globe.
