Helped me achieve my life goal of reading Ulysses with at least a modicum of understanding. ( ) Have you always meant to read Ulysses, but never got around to it? Started it, but found the language and plot too strange to follow? Read it, loved it, and found your life enriched beyond belief? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this two-part cd set is for you. Professor James Heffernan is a Joyce scholar for the common man. Listening to his lectures, you’ll understand the story and, better yet, get all the jokes! June 16th was the 103rd anniversary of Leopold Bloom’s memorable walk through Dublin and Molly Bloom’s passionate, life-affirming YES. Why not celebrate with this wonderful series? Better yet, check out Ulysses (in print or audio book) and experience the two together. Reviewed by: Cathy ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Ulysses depicts a world that is as fully conceived and vibrant as anything in Homer or Shakespeare. It has been delighting and puzzling readers since it was first published on Joyce's 40th birthday in 1922. And here, Professor Heffernan maps the brilliance, passion, humanity, and humor of Joyce's modern Odyssey in these 24 lectures that finally make a beguiling literary masterpiece accessible for any reader willing to give it a chance. Although they discuss selected points from the enormous body of critical scholarship on Ulysses, these lectures presuppose no special knowledge of literature or of James Joyce. Whether or not you've read Ulysses, you'll find they make an excellent guide to the many-layered pleasures of this modern epic. Illuminating the dramatic and artistic integrity behind the novel's most notoriously challenging passages, they explain why this frank, path-breaking novel was praised as a landmark and damned as obscene - even banned - as soon as it first appeared. You'll come to see Ulysses as many books at once: an inspired modern reweaving of the fabric of Homer's mighty Odyssey; a supreme synthesis of realism and symbolism; a grandly comic and at times bawdy work - a seriocomic parable about art and experience; a symphonic, kaleidoscopic portrayal of the sights, sounds, and voices of Dublin and every city; and a dazzling work of masterfully handled prose styles and narrative devices. Above all, you'll learn to read Ulysses as an unsentimental but deeply felt story that uses concrete facts of mundane life in a particular time and place to say something truly extraordinary and universal that speaks to all that is human in us.
