The answer is that <em>Ulysses<\/em> is one of the great novels of the 20th century.\u00a0 If you have ever considered a great work of art, like <em>Hunters in the Snow<\/em> by Pieter Brueghel, you will notice that the subject matter of the work is enormous and there are many rich details.

The boon (in mythological terms) of the adventure (in Joseph Campbell&#8217;s terms) of the novel and of reading the novel is the knowledge of a <em>good<\/em> man.<\/p>\n<p>Join us.
