About This Novel
The novel "Ulysses" is a representative work of stream-of-consciousness novels and is known as "the first of the 100 best English novels of the 20th century". In chronological order, "Ulysses" describes the various daily experiences of Bloom, an advertising salesman, in Dublin during one day and night on June 16, 1904. Joyce compares Bloom's day wandering the streets of Dublin to Odysseus's ten years of wandering overseas, while simultaneously portraying the psychology of his unfaithful wife Molly and Stephen's search for his spiritual father. The novel makes extensive use of detailed descriptions and stream-of-consciousness techniques to construct an intertwined and messy time and space, forming a unique style in language.
