{"product_id":"ulysses-an-illustrated-edition","title":"Ulysses: An Illustrated Edition","description":"This strikingly illustrated edition presents Joyce’s epic novel in a new, more accessible light, while showcasing the incredible talent of a leading Spanish artist.\n\nThe neo-figurative artist Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018), regarded today as one of the greatest Spanish painters of his generation, dreamed of illustrating James Joyce’s Ulysses. Although he began work on the project in 1989, it was never published during his lifetime: Stephen James Joyce, Joyce’s grandson and the infamously protective executor of his estate, refused to allow it, arguing that his grandfather would never have wanted the novel illustrated. In fact, a limited run appeared in 1935 with lithographs by Henri Matisse, which reportedly infuriated Joyce when he realized that Matisse, not having actually read the book, had merely depicted scenes from Homer’s Odyssey.\n\nNow available for the first time in English, this unique edition of the classic novel features three hundred images created by Arroyo—vibrant, eclectic drawings, paintings, and collages that reflect and amplify the energy of Joyce’s writing.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1635420261\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.1635420261.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Joyce, James|Arroyo, Eduardo\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has corner edge dings and or scratches and signs of light wear.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55524317495601,"sku":"GBV.1635420261.G","price":46.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/1635420261-0.jpg?v=1785533915","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/ulysses-an-illustrated-edition","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
