A Shorter Ulysses was intended to serve as a companion volume to Burgess''s A Shorter Finnegans Wake, which he was commissioned to create in 1966. This is the first time that Burgess''s shortened version of James Joyce''s Ulysses has been published. Describing this commission in his autobiography, Burgess explains that he was asked to create a beginner''s abridged version of about 200 pages with a commentary to link the passages of Joyce''s original text and an explanatory preface. The surviving notes towards A Shorter Ulysses suggest that Burgess envisaged that A Shorter Ulysses would follow a similar format. The document was discovered in Burgess''s house in Bracciano, which was purchased in the early 1970s, and thus probably date from this period. Also included in this volume is Burgess''s Introduction to Ulysses for a 1982 Book Club Associates edition of the novel. In a brilliant essay opening the book, Burgess manages to convey in just under 3000 words the very essence of the work. His concluding words are: ''We are, having overcome its difficulties, at last free to appreciate its humour and humanity. Its early denouncers saw mostly filth and ugliness. We can hear its music and rejoice in its tolerance ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A farcical biography of Ulysses S. Grant, You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant is a history lesson disguised as an uproarious novel. Spanning from Grant’s birth until his victory over the Confederacy, You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant gives us an honest—warts and all—portrait of a relatable American hero who wrestled with the same domestic divisions that we’re dealing with today. But what makes this book truly special is in its playful, disruptive postmodernism and the characteristically Brad Neely, campy voice of its narrator. The book examines the validity of biography by hilariously breaking all the form''s rules. Through his humor, Neely brings Ulysses S. Grant to life. And in bringing Grant to life, Brad Neely has created his greatest cult classic yet.Taking the accessible, pop history of Coe’s You Never Forget Your First and adding more of the nerdy, punk humor of Rainn Wilson or Judd Apatow, You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant is for both history and humor readers alike. Though undeniably funny, the book forces us into an urgent discussion of how much progress we’ve really made since the Civil War and the costs we’re willing to pay to see justice.

In Ulysses and Us, Declan Kiberd argues that James Joyce''s Ulysses offers a humane vision of a more tolerant and decent life under the dreadful pressures of the modern world. As much a guide to contemporary life as it is virtuoso work of literary criticism, Ulysses and Us offers revolutionary insights to the scholar and the first-time reader alike.Leopold Bloom, the half-Jewish Irishman who is the hero of James Joyce''s Ulysses, teaches the young Stephen Dedalus (modelled on Joyce himself) how he can grow and mature as an artist and an adult human being. Bloom has learned to live with contradictions, with anxiety and sexual jealousy, and with the rudeness and racism of the people he encounters in the city streets, and in his apparently banal way sees deeper than any of them. He embodies an intensely ordinary kind of wisdom, Kiberd argues, and in this way offers us a model for living well, in the tradition of the literature upon which Joyce drew in writing Ulysses, such as Homer, Dante and the Bible. ''Declan Kiberd''s brilliantly informed and highly entertaining advocacy liberates Joyce''s greatest book from the dungeon of unreadable masterpieces.'' Joseph O''Connor

"It is a book to which we are all indebted" - T. S. Eliot Ulysses is a literary tour-de-force by one of Ireland''s greatest ever writers. This stunning experimental novel tells the tale of a single day in the lives of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus - 16 June 1904. Through these characters, he paints a portrait of society in early 20th century Dublin. James Joyce draws heavily on Homer''s epic poem, The Odyssey, creating parallels between Bloom and Ulysses (Odysseus), Molly Bloom and Penelope (Ulysses'' wife) and Stephen Daedalus and Telemarchus. Controversial when it was first released, Ulysses is now known as one of the most important works of modernist literature ever written. Eloquently written, extraordinarily ambitious and filled with literary allusions, Joyce''s novel rightly deserves its place atop the pantheon of modern literature. This hardcover collector''s edition presents the unabridged text with a dust jacket and striking cover design.

In many ways he brought Scottish Gaelic poetry into the modern era, and he is a key figure in modern Scottish literature. MacLean''s poetry ranges beyond Scotland to confront European and world events and politics. This book offers a detailed study of MacLean''s poems, providing insight into the context of his work. It also includes close readings of selected poems that best represent his key themes and ideas.

Controversial, scandalous, erudite and funny, Ulysses is undisputedly a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day – 16th June 1904 – in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin: the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus and Bloom’s wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts and encounters form the basis of the narrative, which becomes a celebration of all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time. Ulysses is both an experimental novel and a book intimately concerned with the events of modern life. A lively repository of literary allusion and colloquial realism, this dazzlingly innovative, ambitious novel is here presented in its 1939 Odyssey Press version, which is regarded as the most accurate text published in Joyce’s lifetime.

The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916 is the second book of Alistair Horne''s trilogy, which includes The Fall of Paris and To Lose a Battle and tells the story of the great crises of the rivalry between France and Germany. The battle of Verdun lasted ten months. It was a battle in which at least 700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. Its aim was less to defeat the enemy than bleed him to death and a battleground whose once fertile terrain is even now a haunted wilderness. Alistair Horne''s classic work, continuously in print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the battle and the men who fought there.

Macleanovo dobrodružné vyprávění, podané s nezaměnitelným vtipem a osobním šarmem, posloužilo jako jeden ze vzorů pro Flemingovu sérii románů o Jamesi Bondovi. První část se odehrává v Sovětském svazu v letech 1937-1939, kdy je Maclean na diplomatické misi v Moskvě a za značného rizika cestuje po odlehlých částech Ruska a Střední Asie nebo pozorně sleduje stalinské monstrprocesy. Druhá líčí jeho válečné působení v pouštním komandu v severní Africe, kde bojuje proti Rommelově armádě. Třetí část mapuje roky 1943-1945, kdy byl Churchillem pověřen vedením výsadku, který měl podporovat a koordinovat Titovy partyzány v Bosně a Srbsku. Maclean s Titem navázal přátelský vztah a věnuje hodně prostoru právě Titově osobě a peripetiím jeho vztahu se Spojenci - účastní se i zásadních jednání a mírových dohod. Macleanovy paměti jsou žánrově mnohostranné - mají charakter poutavého cestopisu, dobrodružného válečného románu i pronikavých geopolitických esejů. Přinášejí zásadní svědectví o stalinismu, bojích druhé světové války, o Titovi a tehdejší situaci na Balkáně. Kniha je psána poutavým a svižným stylem a její četba přináší vedle historického poznání také mimořádný čtenářský zážitek.

Broken Blue Line is the vividly told story of what brought him to that point, and the beginning of his slow, painful recovery.Ali was dubbed Supercop for making more than 1,000 arrests over one eighteen-month period, when the average arrest rate for officers in England and Wales is just nine a year. In his work as a police officer, he dealt with life-and-death situations on an almost daily basis: saving lives as a hostage negotiator; rescuing the occupant of a house fire; providing tactical advice during some of the most violent incidents; clinging onto a suicidal man hanging from the roof of a multi-storey car park; and entering a flat that had been blown up ...

Colourful worlds with a critical messageDistressingly sweet worlds, whimsical narratives, and tipping moments: in the works of artist Rachel Maclean, we encounter cute babies and faceless mothers or deepfake Hollywood stars in an action-packed battle for “reality.” In her immersive installations, the artist takes us to alternative universes in which sweetness turns to horror and visual perception is shaken. This catalogue is published on the occasion of the exhibitions if it looks like a duck … at Kunstpalais Erlangen (2023) and Mama Mimi Duck at Kunsthalle Giessen (2024) and brings them to life in a stunning way. It is also the first monograph presenting Rachel Maclean's works since the early 2020s, thus providing fresh insights into her sophisticated artistic game with our perception of reality.

In Scotland’s Outer Hebrides on the rugged Isle of Lewis, five powerful award-winning monuments commemorate the island’s Land Heroes. Their courageous struggle for Land Law Reform resulted in the thriving Gaelic speaking community that Lewis encompasses today.The intention of this book is twofold: through the photography of Robin Gillanders, the design, setting and materials of these ‘sentinels in stone’ are brought together for all to enjoy, while essays by distinguished Scottish art historians, and Gaelic speaking island historian Dr Joni Buchannan, tell a vivid story of the events commemorated by each monument, examining their iconography, and exploring each work within the context of a wider cultural rebellion against the hegemony of imposed values.Compelled by Memory also pays tribute to the artist Will Maclean. He oversaw all five memorials installed between 1994 and 2019, initially designing those at Balallan, Aignish and Gress River, and then with fellow artist Marian Leven designed An Sùileachan on the west coast. They were joined by the sculptor Arthur Watson in undertaking the meditational site to mark the centenary of the tragic loss of HMV Iolaire, wrecked in a terrible storm on New Year’s Day 1919, just outside Stornoway Harbour.In each case the projects grew from ...
