拍品資料及來源
The process of translating Ulysses into French had started before the first edition in English was published in 1922. Most famously, Benoîst-Mechin had suggested, and Joyce had approved, Molly Bloom's final "yes" as part of the process of translating the last chapter Penelope for a reading and lecture given by Valery Larbaud in December 1921. Mechin's contribution, together with others who assisted Morel or Larbaud, is not credited on the title page.
