I hold this book to be the most important expression which the present age has found it is a book to which we are all indebted and from which none of us can escape. T.S. EliotUlysses depicts a day in Leopold Blooms life broken into episodes analogous to Homers Odyssey and related in rich varied styles. Joyces novel is celebrated for its depth of learning earthy humor literary allusions and piercing insight into the human heart.First published in Paris in 1922 Ulysses was not published in the United States until 1934. Immediately recognized as an extraordinary work that both echoed the history of English literature and took it in new unheralded directions Joyces book was controversial. Its widespread release was initially slowed by censors nitpicking a few passages. The novel is challenging in that it is an uncommon reader who will perceive all that Joyce has put into his pages upon first reading but it is uniquely rewarding for anyone willing to follow where the author leads. Far more than a learned exercise in literary skill Ulysses displays a sense of humor that ranges from delicate to roguish as well as sequences of striking beauty and emotion. Chief among the latter must be the novels climactic stream of consciousness step into the mind of the protagonists wife Molly Bloom whose openhearted acceptance of life and love is among the most memorable and moving passages in English literature.Since our inception in 2020 Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
