James Joyce – Ulysses – İthaki Yayınları Edition (2023)
Description:
This is the 2023 Turkish edition of Ulysses, published by İthaki Yayınları, presenting James Joyce’s monumental modernist novel in a contemporary translation. As one of the most influential and complex works of 20th-century literature, this edition makes Joyce’s groundbreaking narrative structure and experimental style accessible to modern Turkish readers.
The novel follows Leopold Bloom through a single day in Dublin, 16 June 1904, while interweaving the thoughts, memories, and experiences of multiple characters, including Stephen Dedalus. Rather than following a traditional plot, the book focuses on the flow of consciousness, internal monologue, and fragmented perception of reality.
Joyce explores themes of identity, time, memory, sexuality, nationality, and the ordinary experience of everyday life. By transforming a single day into an epic literary structure, Ulysses redefines what a novel can be, both in form and content.
Set entirely in Dublin, the book also functions as a detailed literary portrait of the city, capturing its streets, people, and cultural atmosphere in extraordinary detail. Its experimental style and linguistic richness have made it one of the defining works of literary modernism.
This İthaki Yayınları edition presents a modern Turkish translation designed for contemporary readers, offering access to one of the most challenging yet rewarding novels in world literature.
