A talk on James Joyce’s novel ‘Ulysses’ will be delivered next month by Charles Durante. ‘Ulysses’ is considered a landmark of world literature. Published in 1922, it has acquired iconic status, becoming the quintessential modernist text, endlessly and exhaustively read and studied by devoted readers and academics. Joyce wanted to write a modern Irish nationalist epic, a vast comic novel, full of pathos, satirical humour, vitality and playfulness.
Unite the Union says it is extremely pleased with the announcement made in Parliament today by the Chief Minister regarding job security in the MoD and the Gibraltar Regiment for the foreseeable future and, more importantly, beyond the end of the Global Agreement in 2017.
The Government says it is pleased to announce that, in line with its manifesto commitment on eco-friendly buses, the first of twenty new route buses has arrived in Gibraltar. The new buses will be phased in over a period of three months and will replace the present fleet.
