Ulysses

Roman "Ulysses" (1922) is not only the main work of James Joyce (1882-1941), the classic of Irish and world literature. It is also the main milestone in the contemporary art of prose, a novel that determined the ways of this art and more than once recognized the first and best in the history of the novel genre.
The plot of the book is extremely simple: this is one day from the life of the Dublin layman. But the whole cosmos of literature - virtuoso language, fireworks, styles and techniques of writing, historical and mythological allusions, author’s irony - and growing a new view of art, man and peace and peace are interconnected.
This publication includes the most complete comments on the novel compiled by S. Khomlam.

I consider this book a significant expression found by our generation, this is a book, to which we are all in debt and from which no one to escape.

Forty pages of continuous text at the end - this is a series of true psychological pearls. I think only damn grandmother knows as much about the real female psyche. Me not.

What is the main thing in Joyce"s novel? .. He takes one character, one hero, one event and examines it through a very powerful microscope. If he used conventional equipment, then the description of such a day would fit on three or four pages. Under a microscope, he considers all the details, shows everything that falls into his field of vision at this moment ... This is the conchake of art in science, the approach of art to science ...

amazing book. A great book ... I read five hours a day and read six times. At first I also had the feeling that I did not understand, and then everything gradually came up - you know how the photograph that they show. Hemingway, Dos Passos came out of it. They all eat crumbs from his table.

There is something heroic in this book, and at the same time in it-some kind of lyrical parody of art, in any case, this is a genuine, real shabash of witches, The Black Mass, during which the devil grows and teases the Holy Spirit in the most daring and defiant way. At the same time, this is an exceptional thing, a unique thing, a new thing.
