| Description: |
Offering an audacious new take on Joyce's classic modern novel "Ulysses," Kiberd argues the novel is not an esoteric tome for the scholarly few but rather a work written both about and for the common person, and explains how it can teach readers to live better lives. |
| Synopsis: |
Declan Kiberd, a professor of Anglo-Irish literature at the University College Dublin, offers an audacious new take on Joyce's classic novel. Ulysses, he argues, is a work written for and about the common person, offering a humane vision of a more tolerant and decent life in the modern world. In this passionate corrective to the widespread view of Ulysses as an esoteric tome for the scholarly few, Kiberd dispells the aura of academic mystique that has attached itself to the novel, opening our eyes to Ulysses as a celebration of the everyday and a model for living well in an unpredictable world. |
