Book excerpt: The dream-like, comic tale of a family in Ireland, Finnegans Wakeis written in Joyce's unique personal language that echoes and plays with many tongues other than English, and uses parables, phrases, wordplay, puns, ballads, philosophy and religious texts to capture an extraordinary invented world. During the seventeen years of its composition, sections of Finnegans Wakewere re-written and revised countless times by its author, and seventy years after its first publication, this new, critically emended edition has now been produced, taking in three decades of intense study by textual scholars Danis Rose and John O'Hanlon. The Restored Finnegans Wake sees the 20,000 pages of Joyce's notes, drafts and proofs collated and clarified to incorporate the 9,000 minor yet crucial corrections and amendments, including phrasing, spacings and syntax, to reveal in true detail this masterpiece as the author intended it to be read.
