Written in a fantantic dream language, forged from polyglot puns and portmanteau words, the \u003ci\u003eWake\u003c\/i\u003e features some of Joyce's most brilliant inventive work. Sixty years after its original publication, it remains, in Anthony Burgess's words, \"a great comic vision, one of the few books of the world that can make us laugh aloud on nearly every page.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
