A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

More than just a walking guide, The Ulysses Guide provides a guide to James Joyce's novel Ulysses by following its eighteen episodes on their original locations, and recreating the Dublin of 1904 against the background of today s streetscape. It explains the action of the book in terms of its settings and illuminates some of the more challenging sections of Joyce's work. This latest edition has been updated to incorporate new additions to the landscape, such as the Spire and the James Joyce Bridge, and changes to Joycean landmarks like the Ormond Hotel, Sweny's Pharmacy and Barney Kiernan's pub. New research has thrown fresh light on some puzzling moments in Ulysses and challenged traditional views on Mr Deasy's school, Bella Cohen's reputation and Stephen's morning whereabouts.

Revue de presse

An excellent compendium of local history, literary scholarship, and wry critical commentary, the guide is designed to accommodate the ever-increasing number and variety of Joyce pilgrims...an intelligent, sensitive and accurate gestalt of Joyce s Dublin. --English Literature in Transition

The cover of this book could become as familiar as the cover of Lonely Planet Ireland. And with good reason: Nicholson s book remains an eminently readable tour of Dublin, past and present. --Oona Frawley, James Joyce Quarterly

'An indispensable manual.' --The Glasgow Herald
