"Ulysses", written by Irish novelist James Joyce and first published in its entirety in 1922, is a modernist masterpiece that chronicles a single day—June 16, 1904—in the lives of Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom in Dublin, Ireland. Structured as a loose parallel to Homer’s *Odyssey*, the novel’s 18 episodes explore the mundane and profound through a revolutionary stream-of-consciousness narrative, capturing the inner thoughts, sensory experiences, and emotional complexities of its characters. Set against the backdrop of Dublin’s streets, pubs, and homes, *Ulysses* delves into themes of identity, mortality, love, and the interplay of the personal and universal, blending humor, erudition, and linguistic innovation. Initially controversial for its explicit content and banned in several countries, it has since been celebrated as a landmark in literary history, influencing countless writers and establishing Bloomsday as an annual celebration of Joyce’s legacy.
