Detailed explanation-1: -Finnegans Wake is a complex novel that blends the reality of life with a dream world. The motive idea of the novel, inspired by the 18th-century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico, is that history is cyclical. To demonstrate this, the book ends with the first half of the first sentence of the novel.
Detailed explanation-2: -While Finnegans Wake is very readable, unlike most books-which are solitary exercises-it is best read aloud and in a group. In-person or online, find your tribe. Every member of a group’s experience of the text will be different, as each of us brings something unique to the table.
Detailed explanation-3: -The majority of readers of James Joyce’s Ulysses tend to associate its most famous line, “History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake, ” with Stephen Dedalus’s intention in The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to overcome his past of rigid national and religious tradition.
