Publisher Description: 'Everybody knows now that <i>Ulysses</i> is the greatest novel of the century' Anthony Burgess, <i>Observer</i> <p/>Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'. <p/>'The most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape' T. S. Eliot <p/>'Intoxicating ... a towering work, in its word play surpassing even Shakespeare' <i>Guardian</i>
