A daring work of experimental, Modernist genius, James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is
one of the greatest literary achievements of the twentieth century, and the
crowning glory of Joyce's life. The Penguin Modern Classics edition of includes
an introduction by Seamus Deane
'riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us
by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs'
Joyce's final work, Finnegan's Wake is his masterpiece of the night as Ulysses
is of the day. Supreme linguistic virtuosity conjures up the dark underground
worlds of sexuality and dream. Joyce undermines traditional storytelling and all
official forms of English and confronts the different kinds of betrayal -

Finnegans Wake remains one of the most remarkable works of the twentieth
century.
