'And low stole o'er the stillness the heartbeats of sleep' In Chapelizod a suburb of Dublin an innkeeper and his family are sleeping. Around them and their dreams there swirls a vortex of world history of ambition and failure desire and transgression pride and shame rivalry and conflict gossip and mystery. This is a book that reinvents the novel and plays fantastic games with the language to tell the story of one man's fall and resurrection; in the intimate drama of Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker and his wife Anna Livia the character of Ireland itself takes form. Joyce called time and the river and the mountains the real heroes of his book and its organic structure and extraordinary musicality embody his vision. It is both an outrageous epic and a wildly inventive comedy that rewards its readers with never-ending layers of meaning. In the introduction to this newly set edition which faithfully maintains the original page layout Finn Fordham guides the reader through the novel's complexity and suggests a range of ways into the book.
