作者简介

James Joyce was born in Dublin in 1882, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing. He only returned to Ireland briefly from the Continent but Dublin was at heart of his greatest works, Ulysees and Finnegans Wake. He lived in poverty until the last ten years of his life and was plagued by near blindness and the grief of his daughter's insanity. He died in 1941.

　　Experimental novel by James Joyce. Extracts of the workappeared as Work in Progress from 1928 to 1937, and it waspublished in its entirety as Finnegans Wake in 1939. The book is,in one sense, the story of a publican in Chapelizod (near Dublin),his wife, and their three children; but Mr. Humphrey ChimpdenEarwicker, Mrs. Anna Livia Plurabelle, and Kevin, Jerry, and Isabelare every family of mankind. The motive idea of the novel, inspiredby the 18th-century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico, is thathistory is cyclic; to demonstrate this the book begins with the endof a sentence left unfinished on the last page. Languages merge:Anna Livia has "vlossyhair"--wlosy being Polish for "hair"; "a badof wind" blows--bad being Persian for "wind." Characters fromliterature and history appear and merge and disappear. On anotherlevel, the protagonists are the city of Dublin and the River Liffeystanding as representatives of the history of Ireland and, byextension, of all human history. As he had in his earlier workUlysses, Joyce drew upon an encyclopedic range of literary works.His strange polyglot idiom of puns and portmanteau words isintended to convey not only the relationship between the consciousand the unconscious but also the interweaving of Irish language andmythology with the languages and mythologies of many othercultures. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailableedition of this title.

Experimental novel by James Joyce. Extracts of the work
appeared as Work in Progress from 1928 to 1937, and it was
published in its entirety as Finnegans Wake in 1939. The book is,
in one sense, the story of a publican in Chapelizod (near Dublin),
his wife, and their three children; but Mr. Humphrey Chimpden
Earwicker, Mrs. Anna Livia Plurabelle, and Kevin, Jerry, and Isabel
are every family of mankind. The motive idea of the novel, inspired
by the 18th-century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico, is that
history is cyclic; to demonstrate this the book begins with the end
of a sentence left unfinished on the last page. Languages merge:
Anna Livia has "vlossyhair"--wlosy being Polish for "hair"; "a bad
of wind" blows--bad being Persian for "wind." Characters from
literature and history appear and merge and disappear. On another
level, the protagonists are the city of Dublin and the River Liffey
standing as representatives of the history of Ireland and, by
extension, of all human history. As he had in his earlier work
Ulysses, Joyce drew upon an encyclopedic range of literary works.
His strange polyglot idiom of puns and portmanteau words is
intended to convey not only the relationship between the conscious
and the unconscious but also the interweaving of Irish language and
mythology with the languages and mythologies of many other
cultures. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable
edition of this title.
