Ulysses was first published in 1922 by Shakespeare and Company in Paris, however the copies sent to the UK and US were seized. The book went on to be banned in both the UK and US due its graphic descriptions of masturbation and sexual fantasies. In 1933, the ban in America ended after the book was declared not pornographic in court. The ban of Ulysses was eventually lifted in the UK too in 1936.
