Ulysses Audiobook Episode 1 Telemachus

Originally broadcast in Ireland on RTÉ radio, 1982.
An audiobook of the greatest novel of the 20th century featuring some of the best Irish actors of the time.
From the website:
"Over twenty years ago RTÉ Radio celebrated the centenary of James Joyce with this dramatised full production of "Ulysses". That marathon programme on Bloomsday, 1982 was a high point for our public service broadcasting. The production was unique in its ambition and imagination then, and its achievement stands unequalled today. Now, here it is, digitally remastered on CD and MP3, for the pleasure of new generations of listeners and readers. I thank the Lannan Foundation for supporting this edition of the recording, Dennis O'Driscoll for our introduction to the Foundation, and my colleagues Ed Mulhall and Ann-Marie O'Callaghan for their steadfast vision."
In this first episode, Telemachus, Stephen Dedalus begins his day.

Brilliant! The fact that Joyce wanted the book perormed and cosidered it a text to be 'heard as well as read' is displayed perfectly here. This is by far the best version of Ulysses anywhere as far as i can see. Great thanks to the person who bothered to take the time making this available, incredibly generous.

An excellent audiobook! Incredible job! If anyone has difficulty figuring out what's going on in the text of Ulysses, they should listen to this audiobook. Things become so clear!

Oh my God, I never realized that those poetic anecdotes were Finch's own thoughts! That makes so much more sense, and it's so incredibly inventive, combining 3rd and 1st person.

I've read Ulysses once and a second time I chose the sections I liked best. My favorite Joycean vignette was the Christmas dinner in portrait of an artist as a young man. I am 78 and was hoping an abridged version would be released before I kicked the bucket. The best sentence in Ulysses is Dedalus the senior at Patty Digiams funeral when he said, Poor Patty Dignam, as decent a man as ever wire a hat,

Mark Soldiers That is a commonly used Dublin phrase. Not Joyce-minted at all!

@@mediolanumhibernicus3353 Was commonly used in England too, during the Middle English period and Shakespeare's time anyway. That's one of the things I love about real Dublin English, it's like a museum of English, if that makes sense. "More English than the English themselves," you could say!

Have been looking for this audio, had the dvd of it. So happy to have found it again here.

Thank you so much for the audiobook! I’ve always dreamed of reading Ulysses, but before I came across this audio I’d been struggling with it since English isn’t my native language. But now it all makes sense for me.

Thank you very much for all the work you put in here, great.

This is an incredible recording, amazing! Stephen is especially delightful to listen to.

[@johnking1868]

Brilliant! A real find.Easier to listen to with the different voices & (mercifully!) restrained sound effects than even that superb actor Jim Norton reading the whole thing ...which I have on CD.

Had the best time in Dublin in the city-wide Bloomsday party June 2004.

Oh I do envy you. I'm going to do it someday. Would be nice with a group of pals. Did you do it that way?

Bunch of wankers wearing boaters and eating kidneys and Gorgonzola who’ve never got beyond page 7 of the book in their lives!

Really appreciating this upload of this audiobook and can't find it anywhere else. However, is there any other source for this audiobook than KZbin ? Thanks for sharing. Making my second time through Ulysses much more enjoyable and enlightening.

[@johnking1868]

I see you can buy it on CD from on RTE website.I googled it just before finding this.

I'm going to buy a copy of the book (I've had 3 over the years and dumped them all from boredom) an see if that won't work -- to read along with.

Why does he say his name is Peter?

[@SteampunkHorse]

I have never heard of this in my life, yet it has been added to my Watch Later list. Is this something Christian? If so, then my parents did it

[@natclo9229]

I was recommended this by someone who think religion is as ridiculous as it sounds But who recommends though who are effective story tellers

[@lenalouise9990]

It's kinda melt down crazy Catholic. Give it a spin you might dig it.

Joyce is great, but I enjoyed Faulkner, Proust and Willa Cather more, especially Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop.

[@plekkchand]

Why exactly is this the "greatest novel of the 20th century"? Who says it is, and how many are saying it because others do?

[@DDDD-hv3ub]

Longest running joke in history is the idea that this book is anything other than useless gibberish and a waste of time.
