Ulysses by James Joyce
A modernist masterpiece, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom through a single day in Dublin. Blending stream-of-consciousness narrative with mythological parallels, Joyce explores themes of identity, memory, and the mundane, revolutionizing literary form and language in the process.

James Joyce (1882–1941) was an Irish modernist writer and pioneer of stream-of-consciousness literature. His works, including Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, revolutionized narrative structure and linguistic experimentation, profoundly shaping modern literature with themes of identity, exile, and consciousness.
