ULYSSES (The Original 1922 Edition)
Ulysses is a novel by the Irish writer James Joyce. It is considered to be one of the most important works of Modernist literature, it has been called «a demonstration and summation of the entire movement». «Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking.»However, even proponents of Ulysses such as Anthony Burgess have described the book as «inimitable, and also possibly mad». There have been at least 18 different «Ulysses» editions (Joyce's handwritten manuscripts were typed by a number of amateur typists). This eBook is a faithful reproduction of the the notable first book edition published in Paris on 2 February 1922 by Sylvia Beach at Shakespeare and Company (only 1000 copies were printed).

POMES PENYEACH
Pomes Penyeach is a collection of thirteen short poems written by James Joyce. «Pomes Penyeach» contains a number of Joycean neologisms («rosefrail», «moongrey» and «sindark», for example) created by melding two words into a new compound. The word «love» appears thirteen times in this collection of thirteen short poems (and the word «heart» appears almost as frequently) in a variety of contexts. Sometimes romantic love is intended, in tones that vary from sentimental or nostalgic («O sighing grasses,/ Vainly your loveblown bannerets mourn!») to scathing («They mouth love's language. Gnash/ The thirteen teeth/ Your lean jaws grin with»).

Ulysses
One of the most important works of modernist literature, James Joyce’s «Ulysses» was originally published in serial format from 1918 to 1920 and then published in a single edition in 1922, which this edition is drawn from. «Ulysses» chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day, June 16, 1904. While the novel appears largely unstructured at first glance it is in fact very closely paralleled to Homer’s «Odyssey», containing eighteen episodes that correspond to various parts of Homer’s work. Filled with experimental forms of prose, stream of consciousness, puns, parodies, and allusions that Joyce himself hoped would “keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant”. This expansive work is considered one of the great works of English literature and a must read for fans of the modernist genre.
Dubliners
"Dubliners" is James Joyce's classic collection of tales of the lower class of Dublin. Drawing upon his experiences as a youth growing up in Dublin, Ireland, Joyce weaves an intimate portrait of the struggles of the lower classes in Ireland in the late 19th century. «Dubliners» is a collection of fifteen tales including: The Sisters, An Encounter, Araby, Eveline, After the Race, Two Gallants, The Boarding House, A Little Cloud, Counterparts, Clay, A Painful Case, Ivy Day in the Committee Room, A Mother, Grace, and The Dead.
Exiles
Though his catalogue is relatively small, given his impact on modern literature, James Joyce is considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, but lived his life in a sort of self-imposed exile, only returning on seldom occasions for short visits. He is noted for his incredibly unique style, his work «Finnegan's Wake» defying the boundaries of all conventional literary genres. His innovation of the stream-of-consciousness narrative influenced literary giants like Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner. It is said that no other writer in his time demolished as many boundaries in literature as Joyce. «Exiles» is his only play, which he wrote in the midst of composing «A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man» and «Ulysses.» Joyce noted Henrik Ibsen and his last play «When We Dead Awaken» as major influences. He described the play itself as «three cat and mouse acts,» a story that chronicles a group of people trying to come to grips with reconciling idealistic principles with their own passions.
