"Finnegan's Wake" is a novel by James Joyce, published in 1939. It is known for its complex language and innovative narrative style, which blends various languages, puns, and dream-like sequences. The story revolves around the life of Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, his family, and their interactions, exploring themes of time, history, and identity. The book is structured in a circular manner, beginning and ending with the same sentence, reflecting the cyclical nature of life. Its dense and challenging prose has made it a subject of extensive literary analysis, influencing many writers and artists in the modernist movement.
