Length29h 58m
About this audiobook
Bringing together Finnegans Wake and Exiles, this complete edition juxtaposes James Joyce's most audacious linguistic experiment with his only extant play. Finnegans Wake dissolves narrative into dream-language, multilingual punning, mythic recurrence, and cyclical history, extending modernist fiction beyond realism into a radical poetics of consciousness and culture. Exiles, by contrast, adopts a dramatic form shaped by Ibsen, exploring jealousy, freedom, betrayal, and the uneasy ethics of intimacy. James Joyce, born in Dublin in 1882 and self-exiled for much of his adult life, transformed personal displacement into artistic method. His Catholic education, fraught family history, political skepticism, and fascination with Dublin's speech and social codes informed his lifelong interrogation of identity, authority, and desire. After Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Ulysses, Joyce pursued ever more demanding forms to capture the instability of modern experience. This volume is essential for readers seeking the full range of Joyce's mature imagination: theatrical, philosophical, comic, erotic, and encyclopedic. It rewards patience, rereading, and annotation, offering not passive entertainment but an encounter with literature at its most challenging and generative.
