Overview of your Dublin tour:

Ulysses was published in 1922 to great critical acclaim, the culmination of many years of work by James Joyce. The book redefined literature as a genre though its use of the stream of consciousness writing style. It continues to fascinate (and frustrate!) readers across the world, even a century after it was published. On this tour we will visit Eccles Street, the home of Bloom. We will talk about the influence of Joyce's upbringing and education in formulating the man and writer. The characters of Ulysses are explored through discussion of their real-life counterparts - who was the real Buck Mulligan? Discover Dublin through the eyes of Bloom, Dedalus and Joyce. This tour not only offers a literary pilgrimage but also provides a unique lens through which to experience the city's rich cultural and historical tapestry. Perfect for literature enthusiasts and curious explorers alike, the tour will bring to life one of literature's greatest works.
