James Joyce's Dublin - The Ulysses Tour DVD

First published in 1922 'Ulysses' was the piece of work that made the name of its author James Joyce. Its publication was seen to expand the domain of permissible subjects in fiction. A remarkably ambitious novel a labyrinthine work of great humor and technical accomplishment it once was denounced as obscene occasionally was accused of being unreadable and is now generally acclaimed as being the greatest book of the 20th Century. Although he spent most of his adult life outside of Ireland Joyce's fictional universe was firmly rooted in Dublin providing him with both... setting and subject matter.
