Show Notes

Part 1, Episode 1 through Part 2, Episode 11 — this audiobook carries you straight into the portion of Ulysses that inspired its unforgettable leap from page to screen.

This is Ulysses, the legendary modernist masterpiece that became a cinematic event, featuring Academy Award nominee Stephen Rea, whose performance helped translate Joyce’s interior world into something hauntingly visual, human, and alive.

Before the arthouse reputation… before the syllabi and the myth… there was a story bold enough to feel cinematic. One day. One city. One man walking through Dublin as thoughts, memories, desire, grief, humor, and longing unfold in real time. These chapters introduce Stephen Dedalus, follow Leopold Bloom into the pulse of the city, and build toward the hypnotic, musical experiment of Episode 11, Sirens—the very section where Joyce’s language begins to feel like a film score.

This audiobook lets you experience Ulysses the way filmmakers and actors did: as atmosphere, rhythm, voice, and movement. You hear the close-ups. The jump cuts. The voiceovers. The daring stylistic choices that made directors brave enough to adapt what many called “unfilmable.”

If you love cinema that challenges, stretches, and rewards you—this is where it starts. This is the source material that dared Hollywood to keep up.

A literary epic with arthouse soul
Perfect for film lovers ready to experience the story behind the screen
One day. One city. One unforgettable listening experience.

Press play—and let Dublin roll past you like a movie, one thought at a time.
