Ulysses by James Joyce is a modernist masterpiece that takes place over the course of a single day in Dublin, following the lives of three main characters: Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom, and Molly Bloom. Through a stream-of-consciousness narrative style, Joyce delves into the inner thoughts, desires, and experiences of these characters as they navigate the mundane and extraordinary aspects of their lives.
