Publisher's Synopsis
Originally damned as obscure and obscene, Joyce's masterpiece now stands as one of the great literary achievements of the 20th century, introducing the era of the modern novel. Loosely based on Homer's Odyssey, it traces the paths of Leopold Bloom and other Dubliners through a seemingly ordinary summer day and night in 1904. The author experiments with a range of innovative techniques, including his revolutionary use of stream of consciousness.
