Ulises

Published in 1922, Ulysses is the great novel of the 20th century. Leopold Bloom's travails through a single day on the streets of Dublin helped Joyce create a riveting verbal odyssey with which he revolutionized the genre forever and marked a milestone in the history of the English language. Through the interior monologue, Joyce was able to reflect for the first time the mental life of the human being and composed what would be his great modern epic. Each chapter of the book is a prodigy of stylistic invention, a feast of intelligence and imagination that, today as yesterday, continues to dazzle with the magnitude of its ambition and torrential polyphony. The already classic version by José María Valverde, considered the best in Spanish for having preserved the lexical and phonetic virtuosity of the original, won the National Translation Prize in 1976. Revised by himself in 1988, now, when the centenary of the novel, Lumen presents this new edition with a prologue, revised and updated by Andreu Jaume based on all the information that has appeared on the work in recent decades.
