Standard Ebooks’ 1,000th title: Ulysses

James Joyce’s Ulysses is a groundbreaking novel that unfolds over one day in Dublin, intertwining the lives of Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom in a series of unique episodes that mirror scenes from the Odyssey. Despite its formal innovations and linguistic brilliance, Ulysses faced a tumultuous publication history marred by obscenity trials. The novel’s dense references and intricate structure have made it a challenge for readers and scholars alike, but also solidified its reputation as a masterpiece of 20th-century literature. This Standard Ebooks edition strives to present the most accurate version of the original 1922 text, inviting readers to engage with Joyce’s complex and rewarding work.
