Publishing Date: 2005-08-01
Features: This book is hailed as the seminal work of stream-of-consciousness fiction. Author Joyce broke away from traditional writing methods, employing highly bizarre techniques to depict various events that occur in Dublin over a span of eighteen hours, with each hour written as a chapter. The final chapter describes the protagonist's sexual psychology, consisting of only two punctuation marks at the beginning and end, a literary marvel. Additionally, due to debates over whether the book constitutes pornography, it was taken to court twice in the West. After being lifted from censorship, its influence grew even greater. In 2000, several major media outlets in the UK and the US consistently ranked this book as one of the most influential literary works of the 20th century.
