»Finn’s Hotel«, so hieß das Hotel, in dem Nora Barnacle, die spätere Ehefrau von James Joyce, als Zimmermädchen arbeitete. Ganz am Anfang der Überlegungen, aus denen »Finnegans Wake« hervorgehen sollte, fragte sich Joyce: Wie wäre es, wenn man Irlands Vergangenheit in den Träumen des am Ufer der Liffey schlafenden mythischen Helden Finn McCool Revue passieren ließe? Das Buch »Finn’s Hotel« besteht aus einer Folge von Fabeln, kurzen, prägnanten Prosatexten zu den entscheidenden Momenten der irischen Geschichte, beginnend mit der Ankunft St. Patricks auf der Grünen Insel im Jahr 432: des Heiligen, der Irland bekehrt? Nein, Irland bekehrt ihn – zu allem, was irisch ist. Joyce schrieb die zehn Episoden 1923, ein halbes Jahr, nachdem er sich vom »Ulysses« befreit und lange bevor er einen genaueren Plan für »Finnegans Wake« gefasst hatte. Danis Rose suchte die im Nachlaß der »Finnegans Wake«-Papiere verstreuten Geschichten zusammen. Er begründete ihre Einheit und Eigenständigkeit. 2013 erschien Finn’s Hotel: ein neues, unbekanntes, erstaunliches Werk von James Joyce.»

In 1939, tiny Finland waged war-the kind of war that spawns legends-against the mighty Soviet Union, and yet their epic struggle has been largely ignored. Guerrillas on skis, heroic single-handed attacks on tanks, unfathomable endurance, and the charismatic leadership of one of this century's true military geniuses-these are the elements of both the Finnish victory and a gripping tale of war.
