Author's name: James Joyce Publisher: Al-Mada for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2025 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: "The epic of the twentieth century" as it is called, is extremely difficult, and its locks are so complex that they lead to despair and frustration and shortness of breath again and again, the only consolation is that the English reader is no luckier. Let this novel — the wonder — be a test of your patience and endurance, and a test of your ability to listen fully and with all senses. It is like observing the growth of a plant, a slow process undoubtedly, meaning you cannot read it all at once or in large chunks and avoid overeating; you must treat this novel like medication compounds, excessive intake may lead to malfunction, reading a passage, contemplating it, pondering its dimensions, then rereading it again and again. You cannot move to another passage without digesting and understanding the first. This means that this novel requires a fundamental change in the reading habits we used to have before. The reader who has accustomed himself to reading it must dedicate a time in which he is completely cut off from everything else, and he must also familiarize himself primarily with Homer’s Odyssey, and with the Torah and the Bible, and with the short stories "Dubliners" by James Joyce himself.
