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.

A marriage and a family reach breaking point on an annual holiday in the loveliest hotel in Ireland. Dermot Bolger is one of the leading figures on the Irish literary scene. Very influential, amazingly energetic and prolific, popular and extremely well respected. Dermot writes fast-paced, incredibly readable novels, usually with a thriller element, always about Ireland, more often than not about its Troubles. 'Temptation, is quite different. It is about family life. It describes five days in the lives of Alison, her husband Peadar and their three children, who are taking their annual holiday on the southeastern coast of Ireland. Each member of the family has his or her own hopes for the holiday and preoccupations about the lives they are briefly leaving behind. The holiday serves as a turning point in their lives, as Alison and Peadar,s marriage is put to the test and the vulnerabilities of their children are brought to the fore. Previous novels have always featured a female central character, and Dermot seems to love writing from a female perspective - and very good he is at it too. This new novel takes this strength and makes the most of it. Paciness and great readability are packed in there too.
