12. Ulysses by James Joyce
James Joyce’s Ulysses pushed literary boundaries with its experimental prose and candid depictions of sexuality. Upon publication, the novel was banned in both the U.S. and UK, with copies seized and burned for its “obscenity.” Today, Ulysses is recognized as a groundbreaking work that changed the course of modern literature, reflecting just how much cultural attitudes toward art and expression have evolved.
