James Joyce's masterpiece "Ulysses". It is a classical classic that is considered to be the highest peak of 20th century world literature. In the background of the Irish capital, Dublin, it depicts a single-day event of three central figures, including Leofold Bloom, his wife Molly Bloom, and an artist-dreaming teacher, Stephen Dedallus.

Literature, as Joyce tells us through the character of Stephen Dedalus, 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'. Written over a seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, Ulysses has survived bowderlization, legal action and bitter controversy. An undisputed modernist classic, its ceaseless verbal inventiveness and astonishingly wide-ranging allusions confirm its standing as an imperishable monument to the human condition.

James Joyce

James Joyce, James Aloysius JoyceIt is a pioneering writer of modernism that has revolutionized literary works in the 20th century with "Portrait of a Young Artist" and "Ulysses". He was born on February 2, 1882, the eldest of 10 siblings in the Irish capital Dublin. His family was relatively wealthy in childhood, but became adversely affected by adolescence. However, he eventually went to the University College in Dublin, through the Jesuit schools in the Catholic Jesuits, where he unquestionably demonstrated his remarkable ability as a writer. As soon as he graduated from university in 1902, he went to Paris to study medicine. However, soon after giving up studying medicine, he is interested in poetry and prose and builds his 'aesthetic system' and walked as a writer. In April 1903, he returned home to Dublin, where he received a telegram telling him that his mother's illness was serious and steadily built up his literary career. In the summer of 1904, she met a virgin named Nora Barnacle of Galway and fell in love with her and went to the continent together to teach English. The young couple spent a few months in Paula (today 's Croatia) in Yugoslavia and moved to Trieste in Northern Italy in 1905. They lived there until June 1915 except for seven months in Rome and three trips to Dublin. There was a son George O and daughter Lucia Anna. 

His first collection of poetry "chamber music" was published in London in 1907, and his first novel, The Dublin People, was published in 1914. "The People of Dublin" is a realist's work on the Irish capital Dublin, an outstanding work that effectively reveals hidden truths by realistically reproducing Dublin's life. When Italy intervened in World War I, Joyce crossed to Zurich, Switzerland, and stayed until 1919. During this period he published "The Portrait of a Young Artist" (1916) and the play "The Asylum" (1918). Joyce returned to Trieste for a short time after World War I and moved to Paris to publish the "Ulysses" When his book was published in Paris on his birthday in 1922, he gave him a worldwide reputation. Beginning that year, the "Pinnensa" was finally completed in 1939, despite the deterioration of his vision due to glaucoma and the trials of his daughter's schizophrenia. When World War II broke out, he went back to Zurich in France in December 1940. Six weeks after returning to his place, he died on January 13, 1941, at the age of 58, and was buried in the Grunden Cemetery.
