Description

James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is a novel that defies traditional notions of beginning and end. Written in a unique dream language, it features polyglot puns and portmanteau words that forge a fantastical world.

Published after two decades of work, the book was first released in 1939 and has since become renowned for its circular structure and inventive prose. Despite being written over sixty years ago, Finnegans Wake remains a remarkable work that continues to appeal to readers with its comic vision.

Penguin Classics represents a global collection of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. This edition features an authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
