Conceived as a single night's dream encompassing all of human history it transforms the lives of a Dublin publican his wife and their children into an endlessly recursive myth of fall and renewal. Written in a polyglot language that fuses English with fragments from dozens of tongues the book compresses folklore theology and gossip into a dense musical weave that dissolves the boundaries between story song and history. Emerging after Ulysses as both its sequel and inversion Finnegans Wake rejected the realist novel entirely recasting fiction as a linguistic symphony meant to be heard as much as read. Its publication in 1939 divided critics and bewildered readers yet it soon became one of the central monuments of twentieth-century literature studied for its innovations in language structure and sound. Once dismissed as unreadable it has since shaped the methods of Beckett Burgess and Pynchon and remains unmatched in its ambition to encompass the whole of human speech within a single book.

First Russian edition of the work and early publication of James Joyce in the USSR. One of 5000 copies produced. Very rare in this condition. The book includes eleven of fifteen stories of Joyce’s collection. These selected stories from ‘Dublins’ became an early Soviet publication of the author skipping ahead only a fragment of “Ulysses” in 1925. Translation of ‘Dublins’ and writing of the foreword were undertaken by E. Fedotova. The full content of this work came out in the Soviet Union in 1937. Other writings by James Joyce began to be published in the late 1960s. The cover design was designed by Georgy Fitingof 1905—1975. He was born to an old Baltic noble family that lived in St. Petersburg and stayed there after the Revolution. Fitingof graduated from the All- Russian Academy of Arts in 1926. He studied at the workshop of Alfred Eberling. Fitingof is one of the founders of the Leningrad school of painting and is best known as a graphic artist watercolor painter postcard designer illustrator of children’s adventure books including works by J. Verne M. Twain G. Wells and others. In 1934 because of his family he was arrested and imprisoned. Although he was released in 1935 the artist came back to Leningrad a little later. He survived the whole siege of Leningrad and took part in an exhibition in 1942. This cover design is his early work he embarked on soon after the graduation from the Academy. In the Soviet Union Joyce had supporters and their opponents. Writer V. Vishnevsky had met Joyce in Paris in the 1930s and told him about Soviet publications. Joyce was pleasantly surprised. Vishnevsky also entered into polemics about Joyce and his significance with literary critic V. Kirshon. “You are behaving rudely. Try to read Joyce of three periods: 1912 1922 1932—1933 give an analysis and make a public assessment of the object that you find so disturbing and irritating. You’re talking fervently about classical inheritance. Obviously the inheritance suddenly ends in Chekhov and then. there is a general forbidden zone! There is a world humanity classes there is a struggle. There is art Chaplin Griffith Joyce Proust Barbusse Giraudoux Remarque Rolland Wells Tagore Kipling etc. It is complex there are continuous collisions and changes in it”.
