Step softly into The James Joyce Library, where the pages breathe and the city murmurs beneath every word. Here the books unfold aloud - Dublin’s streets, its wandering minds, its sudden flashes of revelation - carried on the human voice as river-current and memory entwine. From first sentence to final cadence, each episode invites the listener to drift through language itself: playful, searching, awake to the music of ordinary life. Open your ears, and walk awhile among stories that refuse to stand still.Public domain

    Ulysses Episode 14 - Oxen of the Sun Part 5
    Jun 30 2026
    In which the gentle tides of memory and myth mingled with lively discourse, as friends and scholars gathered to muse on the mysteries of birth, fate, and the mercies of science amid the ordinary brightness of a spring day. The shadows of past lives and the hopes for the future flicker softly through their talk, while the quiet joys and trials of motherhood shine with a tender light, cradled beneath the ancient constellations.

    Ulysses Episode 14 - Oxen of the Sun Part 4
    Jun 28 2026
    In which a modest and dignified presence tempers a raucous gathering of wayward souls, while a newly born infant’s arrival stirs both earnest reflections and ribald conjectures about life’s mysteries and human folly. Amid discourse on birth and mortality, the past entwines with the present as a haunted confession unfolds, revealing the burdens borne by a restless conscience and the mutable spirit of a man lost in time’s mirror.

    In which a lively gathering of men recounts the tale of a celebrated bull of Ireland, woven with humour and local colour, while one among them, Mr Mulligan, proposes a singular scheme to cultivate fertility on Lambay Island, blending earnest intent with whimsical camaraderie. The discourse flows with witty exchanges and tender reflections on human nature, interrupted only by the rhythms of rain and the summons of an awaiting visitor.
