Ulysses. Volume 2

The novel "Ulysses" by the great Irish writer James Joyce, a classic and at the same time a destroyer of the canons of classic literature, is a work-experiment, a landmark, a vivid phenomenon, the pinnacle of 20th-century modernist literature and... a main milestone in contemporary prose art.Upon entering the streets of Dublin, the reader finds themselves, at first glance, in a closed world of strangely interconnected characters: young writer Stephen Dedalus and advertising agent Leopold Bloom. Gradually, the picture begins to clarify, and the obvious and hidden analogies with Homer's "Odyssey" allow us to decipher the author's symbolic code.Virtuoso language, a fireworks display of styles and writing techniques, authorial irony, historical and mythological allusions - since its publication and to this day, "Ulysses" remains a challenge from the Writer to the Reader.This edition includes the most complete commentary to date by Sergey Khoruzhiy.
