James Joyce was born on 2 February 1882 in Dublin. He studied modern languages at University College, Dublin. After graduating, Joyce moved to Paris for a brief period in 1902. In 1904 Joyce met Nora Barnacle, with whom he would spend the rest of his life and they moved to Europe and settled in Trieste where Joyce worked as a teacher. His first published work was a book of poems called Chamber Music (1907). This was followed by Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and the play Exiles (1918). In 1915 the First World War forced Joyce and Nora and their two children to move to Zürich. Joyce’s most famous novel, Ulysses, was published in Paris in 1922. In the same year he started work on his last great book, Finnegan’s Wake (1939). James Joyce died in Zürich on 13 January 1941.
Synopsis
Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this starting point, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness and depth. Unique in the history of literature, Ulysses is one of the most important and enjoyable works of the twentieth century.
After its first publication in Paris in 1922, Ulysses was published in Great Britain by The Bodley Head in 1936. These editions, as well as the subsequent resettings of 1960 in Great britain and of 1961 in the US, included an increasing number of transmission and printing errors. In 1977 a team of scholars, led by Professor Hans Walter Gabler, began to study manuscript evidence, typescripts and proofs in an attempt to reconstruct Joyce's creative process in order to come up with a more accurate text.
This edition uses the revised 1993 text of Gabler's version.
Reviews
Dirty, blasphemous and unreadable, or one of the greatest novels of the 20th century? No matter what your opinion of it, Ulysses has had a profound influence on modern fiction… Unforgettable - Guardian
Joyce I have loved ever since I first set eyes upon him. Ulysses is a magical work - Terry Wogan
Ulysses, with its comic-epic tapestry, took fiction deeper than ever into the raucous carnival of everyday life - Independent
Magnificent - John Banville
[The 1974 version] fixes 5,000 errors involving punctuation, omitted words, phrases, and even entire sentences’ - New York Times
The Odyssey, the Divine Comedy and Hamlet whisper their way through its pages: and Ulysses is their equal at every turn… - Simon Barnes The Times

Ulysses is a work of high genius - Independent, 1922
It is steeped and soaked in the rough life of Dublin city. It is, however, intensely alive, fundamentally Irish, full of Rabelaisian “humour” with a highly developed sense of time and a fantastic imaginative faculty - The Times

评分形式:乔伊斯语言、文字和写作的自娱游戏,留给读者和文学研究者的谜题 《尤利西斯》被称作“天书”,一个原因是由于作品使用了三十多种外语,插进了一些古语、俚语和作者杜撰的词,此外还有不少文字游戏,以及一些仿写和多种写作形式的极尽探索。虽然所有这些文体形式上的游戏...
评分 评分开始是自己的一些关于《尤利西斯》的读书笔记,大三时候因为一些原因要参加一个比赛,导师说必须作成论文的样子,于是零星的东西拉扯修润串成一个所谓的无懈可击的文章的样子,不过现在看过去,很多句子太冬烘气,很有些平素鄙视的学院派文风,而原文也太长,所以这里又重新打...
评分沉默,流亡,机智。——詹姆斯·乔伊斯 有人说这是天书;有人以淫秽或者亵渎的原因禁止它出版;众多的媒体将它评为上世纪最伟大的小说没有之一;也有很多读者和学者斥其为垃圾;甚至它的中文版译者都怀疑作者是否把他的才华浪费在一条歧途;豆瓣上很多人把它列为想读的书,但终...
