Bloom and Stephen go back to Eccles Street where they talk. (Episode guide with Gerry O'Flaherty, Dublin historian and Joyce expert, in conversation with Fritz Senn, Director of the Zurich James Joyce Foundation. First broadcast in 2004.)

James Joyce's 'Ulysses' is one of the most important works of modernist literature. The book chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day, 16 June 1904 (the day of Joyce's first date with his future wife, Nora Barnacle). In 1982 RTÉ Radio celebrated the centenary of Joyce's birth with a dramatised full production of 'Ulysses'; this broadcast is now considered one of the definitive adaptations of the book.
