Hehe! LMAO! From a German perspective!

💚☘️

Eyyy I also need to make a presentation on ulysses which is due next week 🥲

@@salymil6221 Good luck with that 🙏

@@prod.blizzrd how'd that presentation go?

I thank you! Be kind and share!

My pleasure! Please share the video with your friends.

Thanks a lot! I'll be grateful if you recommend my videos...

Thank you! Please recommend my channel!

I will! Do you take requests? I feel like you should do "Travesties!," since you've done "Ulysses" and "The Importance of Being Earnest."

I do take requests, however, my list is quite long. TRAVESTIES, will be added.

Dankeschön!

Have you reread it? It's not a book to be read only one time.

@@AnaLuizaHella i will one day, maybe in 2 years, will make it a 5 year anniversary.

Now that's a challenge😂

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll add the title to my (long) list...

Thanks! I DO hope it does. Please recommend the channel.

Because he grew up studying Latin and not Greek.

It has to be read. Synopses doesn’t even begin to convey the richness of the thing. Also it isn’t all SOC. Every section is written in a different style.

@@eointhompson2669 I am a guy who reads Homer (in English), Shakespeare, Poe, Ezra Pound, Yeats, Freud, and Borges. I plan to tackle Proust, but see nothing to interest me in Joyce whom I regard as a writer considered so de riguer he must be over-rated. Your, "most in-depth novels written in the English language" would exclude all my stated favs; I can offer no apologies nor feel I owe any explanations for your taste or mine. At least it beats wasting your life on MCU movie junk!

@@eointhompson2669 FWIW: How much of Freud have you actually read? How much just heard of? I have 17 volumes of the Standard Ed. of 24 vols of his work. He is without doubt THE most challenging read I have ever done. I've heard all the blah, blah about out-dated, small sample-size, etc. He himself admitted his ideas might be subject to revision and that modern psychiatry might be over-taken by pharmacology. In a nutshell, Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud are the 3 Greats of modern Western thought: Copernicus, that we are not the center of the universe; Darwin, that we are not even the masters of Earth and are products of Natural Selection; Freud, that we are not even the masters of ourselves. Free Will is wishful thinking easily contradicted once you allow for the Unconscious Mind. I suppose my arguments for pro-Freud are perhaps like yours for why contra-Joyce? I will not debate it further; at some point you must do your own leg-work or not. But if I ever go to Dublin I promise to read some Joyce if you promise to show me around. Just no Guiness; it's French-Owned swill nowadays and there's nothing Irish left about it. I'm moving on. Thx!

It’s a wonderful novel.

It can be adapted but it wouldn't fare well, what makes the book so great is the way it's written that style wouldn't be able to translate to the big screen. Also in adapting it in a movie you'd lose the detail it would be a gutted version

It’s qualities are entirely literary.

It’s an Epic of the Quotidian. The level of observational and psychological detail that Joyce achieves is astonishing. It has to be read. The “plot” is intentionally straightforward.

Im not sure. He might think its out the box

ok but how bout oxen of the sun

Circe is objectively hard to follow
