Controversial, scandalous, erudite and funny, Ulysses is undisputedly a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day – 16th June 1904 – in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin: the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus and Bloom’s wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts and encounters form the basis of the narrative, which becomes a celebration of all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time. Ulysses is both an experimental novel and a book intimately concerned with the events of modern life. A lively repository of literary allusion and colloquial realism, this dazzlingly innovative, ambitious novel is here presented in its 1939 Odyssey Press version, which is regarded as the most accurate text published in Joyce’s lifetime. This edition also includes over 9,000 notes by Joyce scholars Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian and John Turner. James Joyce Born in Dublin, James Joyce (1882–1941) spent most of his life abroad, living in Trieste, Paris and Zurich. His writings, however, mainly centre on Dublin – most famously Ulysses, Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. He pioneered and perfected avant-garde prose techniques that saw him rise to the rank of one of Europe’s foremost Modernists.

First published in 1914, Dubliners depicts middle-class Catholic life in Dublin at the start of the twentieth century. Themes within the stories include the disappointments of childhood, the frustrations of adolescence, and the importance of sexual awakening. James Joyce was twenty-five years old when he wrote this collection of short stories, among which 'The Dead' is probably the most famous. Considered at the time as a literary experiment, Dubliners contains moments of joy, fear, grief, love and loss, which combine to form one of the most complete depictions of a city ever written, and the stories remain as refreshingly original and surprising in this century as they did in the last.This Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Dubliners features an afterword by dramatist Peter Harness.Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

Jeden z nejslavnějších, nejvlivnějších a nejpodnětnějších románů západních literárních dějin vychází v Argu už potřetí (česky celkem počtvrté), a opět v klasickém překladu Aloyse Skoumala. Skoumalův překlad však poprvé doznal revize; ujal se jí joyceovský expert, filozof, kritik a překladatel Martin Pokorný, který knihu opatřil i brilantním, čtivým doslovem. Joyceova Odyssea se však vyplatí znovu číst nejen kvůli nově revidovanému překladu a novému doslovu - román totiž ani po devadesáti letech od prvního vydání neztratil nic ze své síly. Ve všedním příběhu jednoho dne jako by ožívaly všechny příběhy světa, včetně mýtu o Odysseovi; z ušmudlaného Dublinu dvacátých let se tu stává theatrum mundi, jeviště světa, na němž zní díky mísení libozvučných i kakofonických hlasů jednotlivých postav strhující symfonie života - pokud tedy umíme dobře naslouchat.
