Today is Bloomsday! It was on June 16 that the journey of the protagonist of the novel "Ulysses" by Leopold Bloom took place. We are posting a lecture from the course by Sergei Khoruzhy, a philosopher and the author of the first complete translation of the novel, on how to read "Ulysses" and understand Joyce. You can listen to the course "James Joyce and the Novel "Ulysses"" in its entirety in the "Radio Arzamas" app https://arzamas.academy/radio/announc... How did James Joyce become a writer? What do you need to know about his era and the Ireland of that time in order to read the novel? Why did Joyce destroy the figure of the author, turn Homer and the whole of God's world inside out, and break man down into his constituent parts? What dramas accompanied the translations of "Ulysses" into Russian? The answers are in three large lectures that you can listen to in our app. Here are their titles: 1. Joyce and His Time. 2. Why Ulysses is a Great Novel. 3. Ulysses in Russia. *** Arzamas is an educational project about the history of culture https://arzamas.academy/.
