James Joyce's remarkable final work, Finnegans Wake (1939), is widely recognized as being entirely untranslatable. However, astonishingly, there exist fifteen complete renditions of the 628-page text in twelve different languages, with at least ten more complete renderings set to be published in the early 2020s, in nine different languages. Finnegans Wake offers a groundbreaking exploration of the international history of these translations, delving into the various challenges faced by translators. Additionally, the book provides insightful commentary on partial and fragmentary renderings from over thirty languages, encompassing unexpected languages such as Galician, Guarani, Chinese, Korean, Turkish, and Irish, as well as Latin and Ancient Egyptian. Detailed analysis of excerpts from individual renditions is accompanied by brief biographical notes on numerous individual translators. Spanning multiple decades, Finnegans Wake showcases the boundless potential of Joyce's final text to yield an infinite array of possible meanings in the face of its seemingly insurmountable translations.
