Sinóptico Wake

O material abaixo foi todo retirado do Finnegans Wake Extensible Elucidation Treasury, de Raphael Slepon, de longe um dos recursos mais preciosos como auxílio para  

a leitura do inclassificável romance final de Joyce.

O que eu fiz foi apenas recortar cada sinopse de onde ela se encontrava e montar um documento contínuo com todas elas
