Ulysses
Ignore what other people say....
...Ulysses is not as hard as they suggest. All you need is a good set of notes, lots of tea, and some stamina (and ideally a friend who's already read it).... READ MORE

Synopsis

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 confirm its standing as an imperishable monument to the human condition.

A new edition of one of the twentieth century's greatest novels, using the original 1922 text - now the preferred text of Joyce's masterwork – this annotated edition includes extensive notes, line numbers and an introduction by renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.

Poor quality
Physically not a great binding. This is an average quality hardback with a few illustrations. Maybe the contents will make up for it.
