Ulysses

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece, Ulysses , tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery. Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway. Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience.

Marking the centenary of Ireland’s – and possibly the world’s – most famous novel, this joyful introductory guide opens up Ulysses to a whole new readership, offering insight into the literary, historical and cultural elements at play in James Joyce’s masterwork. Both eloquent and erudite, this book is an initiation into the wonders of Joyce’s writing and of the world that inspired it, written by Daniel Mulhall, Ireland’s ambassador to the United States and an advocate for Irish literature around the world. One hundred years on from that novel’s first publication, Ulysses: A Reader’s Odyssey takes us on a journey through one of the twentieth century’s greatest works of fiction. Exploring the eighteen chapters of the novel and using the famous structuring principle of Homer’s Odyssey as our guide, Daniel Mulhall releases Ulysses from its reputation of impenetrability, and shows us the pleasure it can offer us as readers.

Controversial, scandalous, erudite and funny, Ulysses is undisputedly a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day – 16th June 1904 – in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin: the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus and Bloom’s wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts and encounters form the basis of the narrative, which becomes a celebration of all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time. Ulysses is both an experimental novel and a book intimately concerned with the events of modern life. A lively repository of literary allusion and colloquial realism, this dazzlingly innovative, ambitious novel is here presented in its 1939 Odyssey Press version, which is regarded as the most accurate text published in Joyce’s lifetime. This edition also includes over 9,000 notes by Joyce scholars Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian and John Turner.

Den 16. juni 1904 vandrer Leopold Bloom rundt i Dublins gader, imens hans kone Molly morer sig på kryds og tværs med andre mænd hjemme i ægtesengen. Leopold Bloom er blevet gjort til en ufrivillig hanrej, og hvad andet kan han gøre end at lade sine skosåler slide af vejen, blive ydmyget mellem husmure og på beværtninger og gemme sig i den ene erindring efter den anden efterhånden som de dukker op i Dublins våde tåge. Leopold Bloom er det 20 århundredes Odysseus, men i modsætning til Homers antikke krigerhelt, er Bloom en moderne antihelt. James Joyce (1882-1941) var en irsk forfatter, digter og dramatiker. James Joyce levede det meste af sit voksenliv i Paris og Zürich, omend alle hans værker foregår i fødebyen Dublin. James Joyce er særlig kendt for sin brug af "stream of consciousness" (bevidsthedsstrøm) og bliver regnet for en af det 20. århundredes mest indflydelsesrige forfattere.

'It is not that Ulysses excludes us; it is, rather, that it includes us in ways that no other work prepares us for. The question is not 'what is a novel?', but what can a novel be? Ulysses is the answer' Patrick McGuinness from his preface to Ulysses: The Restored Text Initially rejected by several printers in Dublin and London for containing 'obscene' content, Ulysses was first published in book form in a limited-edition printing of 1000 copies by Shakespeare and Company in Paris in 1922. A subsequent printing was impounded by US customs and for a period the novel was famed for its notoriety rather than its literary achievement. Like its author, Ulysses exists in a complicated push-pull relationship with its language - English - and its setting - Ireland. Joyce returns to the themes that had preoccupied him in previous works, including nationalism and empire, religion, identity and sex in a novel which gloriously brings Dublin on June 16th 1904 to the page. This edition of Ulysses : The Restored Text includes the revisions that Joyce made to the novel during his lifetime.

Ulysses illustreret! En pragtudgave, indbundet, i stort format (27 x 24 cm), 672 sider med 140 helsides blæktegninger af Niels Krag. Oplaget er begrænset og hvert eksemplar er nummereret og signeret af tegneren. Oversættelsen er Wiberg og Feilbergs, sat op i de samme spalter og med samme læsefremmende fodnoter som i udgaven fra 2019, som for længst er udsolgt. Ligesom i andre oversættelser og udgaver af Ulysses følger læseren Leopold Bloom på hans vandring gennem Dublin den 16. juni 1904. Men i denne udgave er der gjort alt for at læseren ikke står af undervejs men kommer med Bloom hele vejen hjem under dynen til Molly. Romanen Ulysses skræmmer mange læsere, som oplever at den er for stor, for vigtig og for vanskeligt tilgængelig, og alene romanens ry som svær betyder, at kun et fåtal kommer hele vejen igennem bogen ved egen kraft. Men Ulysses ER sjov, uanset sit rygte. Så for at hjælpe læseren på øjenhøjde med Joyces tekst har oversætterne forsynet denne udgave med mere end 3.000 fodnoter. Her får man sangteksterne, Irlands historie, avissladderen og den katolske liturgi serveret lige ved hånden, alle de ting, som ingen nutidig læser forbinder noget med, og som forstyrrer. Bent Wibergs og Jens Feilbergs nye oversættelse af Ulysses er resultat af mange års arbejde med at skabe en smuk og præcis gengivelse på dansk uden at sætte originalens energi og tone over styr.

Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. The novel chronicles the appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin over the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is considered a literary masterpiece and is one of the most important works of modernist literature.

A twist on the Irish literary classic Ulysses, told through Nicolas Mahler's distinctive graphic novel style. Dublin, 16 June 1904: through a day in the life of the advertising agent Leopold Bloom and the sensations of the ordinary, James Joyce created a maximal book from a minimum of matter. Ulysses, the most important novel of modernity, is a defining book of the twentieth century. Joyce's creation-also spectacularly innovative in form-inspired Nicolas Mahler to attempt a literary retelling that is not a mere illustration or adaption of the novel but an independent and equally as inventive work. Using comics, Mahler transforms the various literary techniques of the original. He assembles his images with humorous and philosophical verve, quoting and rambling along in the spirit of Joyce. With this graphic interpretation of the modern classic, which also constitutes a homage to the golden era of the newspaper comic strip, Ulysses can be newly discovered in a delightfully unexpected form.

Originally reviled as obscure and obscene, Joyce's masterpiece now stands as one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century. Loosely based on Homer's Odyssey, the novel traces the paths of Leopold Bloom and other Dubliners through an ordinary summer day and night in 1904 -- a typical day, transformed by Joyce's narrative powers into an epic celebration of life. First editions of Ulysses rank among the modern rare book trade's most valuable finds. This reprint of the original edition is not only the least expensive version available but also the truest to the author's vision. Many experts have reinterpreted the novel's surviving drafts to produce revised texts, but this edition remains the version that Joyce himself reviewed and corrected prior to the initial publication. A new Introduction by Joyce scholar Enda Duffy offers an enlightening and enthusiastic welcome to a landmark of modern literature.

For Joyce, literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'. Written between 1914 and 1921, Ulysses has survived bowdlerization, legal action and bitter controversy. An undisputed modernist classic, its ceaseless verbal inventiveness and astonishing wide-ranging allusions confirms its standing as an imperishable monument to the human condition. Declan Kiberd says in his introduction that Ulysses is 'an endlessly open book of utopian epiphanies. It holds a mirror up to the colonial capital that was Dublin on 16 June 1904, but it also offers redemptive glimpses of a future world which might be made over in terms of those utopian moments.' This Annotated Student Edition has full explanatory notes and line numbers for critical reference.

Dette er en ny dansk oversættelse af Ulysses. "Ulysses" er fortællingen om James Joyce og bygger på hans meget personlige oplevelser. Oplevelser som han lader Stephen Dedalus og Leopold Bloom opleve den 16. juni 1904 i Dublin. Stephen er en ung skolelærer og Leopold Bloom er en jødisk annoncesælger. Deres færden gennem Dublin by giver et indblik i deres adfærd og deres tanker. Den 16. juni 1904 kaldes nu Bloomsday og fejres hvert år af Joyce-fans verden over. "Ulysses" er et meget velkendt hovedværk i modernistisk litteratur og den mest kendte af James Joyces romaner.

Den 16. juni 1904 vandrer Leopold Bloom rundt i Dublins gader, imens hans kone Molly morer sig på kryds og tværs med andre mænd hjemme i ægtesengen.

"Ulysses" is a monumental masterpiece of modernist literature that chronicles a single day in Dublin-June 16, 1904. James Joyce's sprawling narrative follows the experiences of Leopold Bloom as he traverses the city, engaging in the mundane and the profound. Parallel to Bloom's journey is that of Stephen Dedalus, a young intellectual seeking his place in the world, and the evocative, sensuous internal monologue of Bloom's wife, Molly. The novel is celebrated for its radical formal experimentation, most notably its use of the stream-of-consciousness technique to capture the fleeting thoughts and complex inner lives of its characters. Each chapter employs a distinct literary style, mirroring the episodes of Homer's "Odyssey" and elevating the everyday events of Dublin life into a universal epic. Joyce explores themes of fatherhood, infidelity, nationalism, and the human condition with unparalleled linguistic virtuosity. As one of the most influential works of the 20th century, "Ulysses" challenges the boundaries of language and narrative structure. It remains a cornerstone of literary modernism, inviting readers to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of history, mythology, and the vivid reality of early 20th-century Ireland. This work stands as a testament to the power of the written word to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
