Özet
 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.

While Bloom's passionate wife, Molly, conducts yet another illicit liasion (with her concert manager), Bloom finds himself getting into arguments with drunken nationalists and wild carousing with excitable medical students, before rescuing Stephen Dedalus from a brawl and returning with him to his own basement kitchen.

In the hands of Jim Norton and Marcella Riordan, experienced and stimulating Joycean readers, and carefully directed by Roger Marsh, Ulysses becomes accessible as never before. It is entertaining, immediate, funny, and rich in classical, philosophical, and musical allusion.

"As ambitious and rewarding an audio production as any that exists, an audio experience that truly deserves to be cherished....Readers of Ulysses have long been encouraged to read out loud the more difficult sections for added comprehension and enjoyment of the language. Now, thanks to Naxos, the entire book is available in a performance to savor. It is safe to say that anyone wanting to experience the preeminent work of modern fiction has in this package the perfect audio companion." (AudioFile)

This is audio books at their absolute best. I'm only a quarter of the way through but this is completely captivating. The range of voices Jim Riordan can produce is amazing: it brings the characters to life and helps the listener keep track of what is obviously a difficult 'plot'. He also brings a range of tone to the characters, distinguishing speech and thoughts very helpfully. Perhaps not the best bed-time listening - a fatal combination of mellifluous accents and aimless ramblings that has me dozing off in minutes - but there the fault is entirely my own.

What did you like most about Ulysses?

I listened and read on Kindle at the same time. If It was under my own steam I would never have made it. The combination worked well for me and is highly recommended.
This is an important book and to gain access to it to observe the way Joyce turns words over in his hands and plays with the form of language is awesome.
I can see me repeating this over the years.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ulysses?

There were some dull and inaccessible episodes in the middle (memorable for the wrong reasons) but overall the pictures that Joyce paints of life in Dublin are what stand out. The various interactions as the day goes on are deep, comedic and give a good insight to the life of the time.

What about Jim Norton’s performance did you like?

What a fantastic performance. If you need a sense of his artistry read a section out aloud to someone and then play Norton's performance of the same passage. What skill!
The numerous accents and various pace of reading are just brilliant.
I also loved Marcella Riordan's contribution at the end of the book; very philosophical, sad and sensual at the same time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No Far too long for one sitting

Any additional comments?

This has to be the best way to access this classic. Highly recommended

Once I understood that I would never understand what the story or plot is about I loved it. I went to return it a couple of times but persevered and I'm glad I did. Beautifully crafted...

Story? What story? Outstanding...

Obviously, this is a classic and beautifully read; but the volume is so low that I had my phone and connected device both on full. There are massive leaps in volume between narration and dialogue; this needs sound compressing badly.

Bad sound quality

You will either love Ulysses or give up on it. Joyce is a gifted, but self-indulgent writer.

I stand in awe of the narrators! Wonderful voice actors who evidently truly understand the novel, and read it so as to make it (almost) comprehensable. I would never have gotten through Ulysses if it were not for this splendid recording!
