Soft Morning, City: A Paraphrase Of The End Of Finnegans Wake is a literary work by John Hinsdale Thompson. The book is a reinterpretation of the last chapter of James Joyce's iconic novel, Finnegans Wake. Thompson's version is written in a more accessible language, making it easier for readers to understand the complex and abstract themes of Joyce's work. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing a detailed analysis of the original text and the second part presenting Thompson's paraphrase. The author uses his own words to capture the essence of Joyce's writing, while still maintaining the original's poetic and musical quality. The title Soft Morning, City is taken from one of the lines in the original text, which refers to the awakening of the city and its inhabitants. The book explores themes such as identity, history, and the cyclical nature of life. It also delves into the concept of language and its limitations in conveying meaning. Overall, Soft Morning, City: A Paraphrase Of The End Of Finnegans Wake is a unique and thought-provoking work that offers a fresh perspective on one of the most challenging and enigmatic literary works of the 20th century.The Analyst, No. 12.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
