Ulysses is regarded by many as the single most important novel of the 20th century. It tells the story of one day in Dublin, June 16th 1904, largely through the eyes of Stephen Dedalus (Joyce's alter ego from Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man) and Leopold Bloom, an advertising salesman. Both begin a normal day, and both set off on a journey around the streets of Dublin, which eventually brings them into contact with one another.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 775
The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself ‘Don Quixote’ and with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests.

wonderful and marvellous historical classic
Having returned from Lublin recently and learning of the Holocaust and visiting Majdanek death camp, I was sickened and fascinated at the plight of Jews in Poland and this city in particular. I was delighted therefore to discover this Jewish Classic novel set in the era preceding the Nazi onslaught. The descriptions and imagery of lufe within a thriving Jewish community were enchanting and foreboding. So glad this book was written and on audible! Life is full of guided experiences like this one.

Magical story of a complex character
This is an intriguing tale of a Jewish magician in late 19th century Poland who is torn apart by his own greed, lust and religious confusion. It is narrated by Larry Keith who brings out the characters in the story expertly.

Complex Masterpiece
A complex masterwork of fiction and an amazing meditation on the nature of religion and Jewishness in Europe and the modern age. I couldn't stop listening to it all the way through. The reader does a compelling and highly entertaining job, and really brings the characters to life in a way that absolutely fits the story.

Singer at his best
He's always at his best, so my title is misleading and true at the same time, which is a way of saying Magician is filled with ambiguity and paradox.
