Often described as the twentieth century’s greatest novel, Ulysses, first published in 1922 and modelled on Homer’s Odyssey, is an account of one day in the life of Dublin, focusing on the humble Leopold Bloom and his sensuous wife, Molly. An earthy story, a virtuoso technical display and a literary revolution all rolled into one, Ulysses is one of the few books everyone has to read.

A selection of song lyrics and poems from the long and influential career of one of the most acclaimed and admired poet-songwriters in the world. For more than half a century, Leonard Cohen’s music and poetry have made him an international cult figure, transcending genres and generations. Here is a fascinating cross-section of his work, including such legendary songs as ‘Suzanne’, ‘Sisters of Mercy’, ‘Bird on the Wire’, ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’ and ‘I’m Your Man’ and searingly memorable poems from many collections including Flowers for Hitler, Beautiful Losers and Death of a Lady’s Man. Encompassing the erotic and the melancholy, the sacred and the secular, the mystical and the sardonic, this volume showcases a writer of remarkable passion, humour and depth.
