100 YEARS OF ULYSSES

One hundred years ago, on February 2nd 1922, James Joyce’s Ulysses was first published by Sylvia Beach in a small bookshop in Paris. The book, which consumed 7 years of Joyce’s life, years in which his family’s circumstances were very difficult, would have a profound impact on the literature and culture of the century to follow. No twentieth century novel has rivalled Ulysses in its reach. Produced to mark the 100th anniversary of the book’s publication, “100 Years of Ulysses”, a one hour documentary produced by Create One sets out to unlock one of most impregnable and explosive books of modern times.
