Ulysses

James Joyce's Ulysses is a modernist novel that follows three Dubliners, Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom, over the course of a single day, June 16, 1904, known as Bloomsday. The novel establishes parallels between its characters and those of Homer's Odyssey, and explores themes such as antisemitism, human sexuality, and Irish nationalism in the context of early 20th-century Dublin. Written in a variety of styles and using stream of consciousness, the novel is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has attracted controversy and scrutiny since its publication in 1922. The novel's structure is divided into three books and 18 episodes, with no chapter headings or titles, and has been regarded as one of the greatest literary works due to its rich characterization, broad humor, and experimental prose.learn more on wikipedia
