Finnegans Wake - James Joyce - Folio Society - 2014

James Joyce creates a shifting world in which family life, Dublin gossip, history and mythology flow into one another. Characters and events recur in altered forms, carried by language that combines echoes, puns and words from many sources. Finnegans Wake asks readers to experience meaning as something continually changing rather than steadily disclosed. Its dreamlike movement explores memory and repetition, making the act of reading part of an encounter with the possibilities of language itself.
