Summary
James Joyce’s landmark novel traces the course of three characters on one summer day in Dublin. First, there’s middle-aged wanderer and appeasing cuckold Leopold Bloom. He crosses paths with Stephen Dedalus, a young aspiring writer flirting with indulgence. Among a gallery of generous, ebullient, and brawling Dubliners, Bloom and Dedalus find in each other, for a few hours, a spiritual father and son. Then there’s Molly, Leopold’s wife. Conflicted about love, marriage, motherhood, and sexual longing, she’ll spend her afternoon with a lover. Later, as day turns to night, with Leopold beside her, Molly brings an odyssey to an indelible end.
With its Homeric allusions, labyrinthine digressions, and shifting narrative styles, James Joyce’s universal epic of the human condition achieves a singular and everlasting grandeur.
Revised edition: Previously published as Ulysses, this edition of Ulysses (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Delightful & a pleasure to listen to
When I drive I listen to audiobooks. On listening to Ulysses, for me, the narrator Aidan Kelly, brought the text to life. I was there in the middle of it all & enjoyed every minute.

I’ve wasted enough time on this rubbish.
This is without a shadow of a doubt the worst book I’ve ever listened to. Can’t understand a bit of it. Cannot see how it’s a classic in any sense of the word.
I’m obviously far too thick to be listening to a book of this stature.
Listen to A Tale of Two Cities 3 times rather than waste your life with this complete nonsense.
