Ulysses
Dublín, IRLANDA 2024
Ulysses is the modernist masterpiece by James Joyce, published in 1922, and regarded as one of the 20th century's most significant novels. The book chronicles the thoughts and activities of three main characters—Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom—over the course of a single day. That day is June 16, 1904, a date commemorated annually in Dublin as Bloomsday. Structurally, the novel parallels the episodes of Homer's Odyssey, with Bloom serving as the modern-day Odysseus. The action unfolds entirely within the streets, pubs, and landmarks of Dublin, which Joyce recreated with obsessive accuracy. The city becomes far more than just a setting; it is a central character, captured in intense detail. Joyce employs the "stream of consciousness" style to delve into the minds of the characters, most famously in Molly Bloom's final monologue. Its legacy in Dublin is celebrated with walking tours and festive events that invite fans to retrace Bloom's steps. The novel's faithfulness to the Dublin landscape has made it a timeless literary guidebook to the city.
