James Joyce’s 'Ulysses' is a landmark novel that overturns traditional notions of literature. It is a complex and verbose work that chronicles a single day—June 16, 1904—in the life of its protagonist, Leopold Bloom, an Irish Jew living in Dublin. The book is known for its unusual structure and its experimentation with writing styles. Its main theme is the human mind and its streams of consciousness, alongside numerous parallels with Homer’s 'Odyssey'. The novel is characterized by deep symbolism and stimulates interest in the study of human nature and modern social issues.
