Great video here from Steve Cole of LiberateUlysses, taken on Bloomsday 2013. Dublin Artist and Joycean Roger Cummiskey tells how the forty foot got its name, Ken Cotter talks briefly about the music of the book and the father/son theme. We see the Bloom’s home, or what would have been very close to it, hear James Quinn of the James Joyce Centre read at the Martello Tower, take a look at the peaceful Glasnevin Cemetry and into Sweny’s shop, and meet Rachael Kerr, the creator of Leopolds Day map.
Mr Leopold Poldy Bloom
He’s a cultured allroundman, Bloom is, he said seriously. He’s not one of your common or garden … you know … There’s a touch of the artist about old Bloom.
And I´m off to Dublin in the Green to soak up some of the Hibernian Metropolis ahead of Bloomsday!

For the third year we are planning a simple reading, swim or paddle off the beach on Bloomsday this year. It conveniently falls on a Sunday.
What makes our event a little different is that the readers are encouraged to read their pieces in their own language. This is a fun, non intellectual, nor threatening event.
And it is FREE. All that is required is that you turn up on time to participate. It will be a memorable occasion. A fun get together providing the opportunity to become fully immersed in – sea water.
Bloomsday – June 16th – is an annual celebration among Joyce fans throughout the world, from Fuengirola to Melbourne. It is celebrated in at least sixty countries worldwide, but nowhere so imaginatively, of course, as in Dublin. The novel, Ulysses, by James Joyce recounts the hour-by-hour events of one day in Dublin – June 16, 1904 – as an ordinary Dubliner, Leopold Bloom, wends his way through the urban landscape, the odyssey of a modern-day Ulysses.

“Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods’ roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.” ― James Joyce, Ulysses.
This video takes you on a walk through Dublin following the footsteps of the two main characters in Ulysses on 16th June 1904 – Mr Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus. The presentation is 100 years later but some things have survived. Enjoy A Stroll Through Ulysses.

Bloomsday – 16 de junio – es una celebración anual entre los fanáticos de Joyce en todo el mundo, desde Fuengirola a Melbourne. Se celebra en sesenta países alrededor del mundo, pero en ninguna parte tan imaginativamente, por supuesto, como en Dublín. La novela Ulises, de James Joyce, narra los acontecimientos hora a hora de un día en Dublín – 16 de junio de 1904 – como un ordinario Dubliner, Leopold Bloom, serpentea su camino a través del paisaje urbano, la odisea de un moderno Ulisses.
“El señor Leopold Bloom comía con fruición los órganos internos de bestias y aves. Le gustaba la sopa de menudillos espesa, las mollejas de nuez, un corazón asado relleno, rodajas de hígado fritas concrustcrumbs, huevas hencods fritas. Sobre todo le gustaba los riñones a la parrilla de cordero que le dieron a su paladar un sabor fino de la orina ligeramente perfumada “. James Joyce, Ulisses.
