Most readers have heard of Ulysses. Few have actually read it. This edition is for both. Published in Paris in 1922, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom through a single day in Dublin — June 16, 1904 — and in doing so dismantles every assumption about what a novel can be and do.

He was being honest about the way a mind actually works. Ulysses — One day. One city. One man buying a kidney for breakfast, ...

Over 700 years ago in Paris, on June 1, 1310, the Beguine mystic Marguerite Porete was burned at the stake for having written a popular book, “The Mirror of Simple Souls.” Its primary message was that divine grace alone—not the religious precepts of the Church—inspires and activates a direct communion with God. That was her experience, and her refusal to retract it led to this terrible moment. Marguerite’s book consists of a conversation between Love and the Soul. Her powerful dialogue inspired James F.
