James Joyce's «Ulysses» is one of the greatest works of the 20th century, known for its deep psychological insight and experiments with language and structure. The book employs the stream of consciousness technique, allowing the reader to directly observe the flow of thoughts and feelings of the characters. Joyce emphasizes internal monologues, through which the inner world of the main characters is revealed. The structure of the novel is complex and multi-layered, with each of the 18 chapters having its unique style, parodying various literary forms and techniques, making the text extremely diverse and multifaceted. Symbolism and extensive allusions play a special role in the novel, connecting the plot with Greek myths, history, and culture, making the work rich in subtext and significant meanings.
