The Most Dangerous Book

Berätta för mig när boken läggs till

THE SUNDAY TIMES LITERARY NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2014.

THE ECONOMIST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2014.

For more than a decade, the book now considered the most important novel in the English language was illegal to sell, advertise or import. Its author lived in exile; his supporters on the edge of the law.

THE MOST DANGEROUS BOOK tells the painful yet exhilarating story of how Joyce's ULYSSES was conceived, written, published, burned, acclaimed and excoriated before taking its place as a masterpiece of world literature.

Rather than writing a novel for a million readers, Joyce said, he preferred to write novels that one person would read a million times.

It showed us that secrecy is the tool of doomed regimes and that secrets themselves are, as Joyce wrote, “tyrants, willing to be dethroned.” Ulysses dethroned them all.
