  • Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and then published in its entirety in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement." According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking".

    What a treasure this presentation is. It brought Molly Bloom to life for me, while opening my mind to the craft of this great writer, and the Ireland they shared. Another comment said ‘ superb’. I think so too - Thank you.

    Totally enjoyable experience watching this marvellous video. I could retrace my steps with delight in the Dublin where I lived in 2006/07, and enjoyed very much. As I lived in Monkstown, my first visit was to the Martello museum in Sandycove. I loved the presentation of the story, Thank you so much.

    This video is also a fantastic time capsule of 2007: you can witness the reality of Dublin city life before smartphones took over everyone’s attention. Here, passersby are walking without phones in front of them. They're looking ahead. If they have a phone, they’re speaking into it via call. Thank you for capturing.

      I reckon in 2006/2007 when I lived in Dublin myself. I noticed a pizzaria that I used to go to, the sign for sale on it, at the corner of Parliament St and Dame St, it was on the video and has long since gone. The building opposite had posters of all Irish writers at the windows, gone as well....I too wish they had put the date of filming at the end of the film.
