Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial James Joyce vivio en Zurich, dedicado por completo a la creacion del Ulises. En 1920 se traslado a Paris, donde termino y publico su obra en 1922. El titulo evoca al protagonista de la Odisea de Homero, cuyo hilo argumental es seguido por Joyce con un sentido ironico y burlesco. Esta nueva odisea esta protagonizada por un hombre de clase media, Leopold Bloom, que tiene que afrontar asuntos problematicos relacionados con la familia, la lglesia y el Estado a lo largo de 24 horas que dura el relato. Uno de los mayores logros de la novela es el monologo interior, tanto del personaje central (al estilo del examen de conciencia jesuitico) como de su esposa, Molly Bloom.
