Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and then published in its entirety in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement." According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel is highly allusive and also imitates the styles of different periods of English literature. Since its publication, the book has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars." The novel's stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose—replete with puns, parodies, and allusions—as well as its rich characterisation and broad humour have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history; Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday.'

Eros, o doce-amargo, livro referencial de Anne Carson, uma das mais celebradas autoras da atualidade, chega finalmente ao Brasil apresentando um panorama das leituras sobre o amor, da Grécia antiga à literatura moderna. Anne Carson, uma das mais premiadas e admiradas autoras da atualidade, é conhecida por esgarçar as linhas que definem os gêneros literários. Eros, o doce-amargo é o seu primeiro livro de crítica literária, resultado de sua tese de doutorado, e se tornou um clássico, mesclando ensaio, teoria e poesia. “Safo foi a primeira a chamar Eros de ‘doce-amargo’. Ninguém que já se apaixonou discorda. O que significa essa palavra?”, se pergunta Anne Carson. A resposta é a investigação que a ensaísta e poeta canadense empreende nesta obra, perscrutando o conceito de “eros” a partir da Grécia antiga e evocando referências da poesia, filosofia, literatura, história e psicanálise ao longo dos séculos. Assim, Carson produz um panorama sobre as interpretações do amor, analisando em uma abordagem ao mesmo tempo profunda e espirituosa o caráter duplo e ambíguo do sentimento erótico. “A doçura de Eros é inseparável da sua amargura, e cada qual participa, de uma maneira ainda não óbvia, da nossa vontade humana por conhecimento. Parece haver alguma semelhança entre o modo como Eros age na mente de quem ama e o modo como o conhecimento age na mente de quem pensa."- Anne Carson
