Bereits in seinem frühen Roman «Murphy» schreibt Samuel Beckett über das Thema, das ihn zeit seines Lebens beschäftigen sollte - die Absurdität des menschlichen Strebens. Ein junger Ire verbringt nackt, gefesselt und bewegungslos Stunden in einem Schaukelstuhl, um den Zwängen allen irdischen Seins in mystischer Versenkung zu entgehen. Die Liebe zu einer Prostituierten scheitert an seiner Weigerung, sich dem Diktat der alltäglichen Notwendigkei...

His first published work of fiction (1934), More Pricks Than Kicks is a set of ten interlocked stories, set in Dublin and involving their adrift hero Belacqua in a series of encounters, as woman after woman comes crashing through his solipsism. More Pricks contains in embryo the centrifugal world of Beckett's men and women.

Es handelt sich um eine von Samuel Beckett noch autorisierte und betitelte Sammlung kleiner Schriften zur Ästhetik, erschienen 1983, sechs Jahre vor seinem Tod, die sich in drei Abschnitte gliedert: Ästhetik - Literaturkritik - Kunstkritik. »Wie andere Beckettkenner auch schätze ich seine kritischen Texte höher ein als ihr Autor«, schreibt Ruby Cohn in ihrer Einleitung. »Ich meine, daß die Sammlung eine Ästhetik birgt, allerdings fügen sich Be...

Now published for the first time--Samuel Beckett's first novel, written in the Hotel Trianon in Paris in the summer of 1932 when the author was 26. Recognized as one of the great writers of the 20th-century, Beckett's Waiting for Godot revolutionized contemporary theater and his fiction is ranked by many with that of Joyce and Proust.

The surge of letters beginning in 1945, and their variety, are matched by the outpouring and the range of Beckett's published work. Primarily written in French and later translated by the author, the work includes stories, a series of novels, essays and plays. The letters chronicle a passionately committed but little-known writer evolving into a figure of international reputation.

Ficiton. MURPHY, when first published in 1938, was Beckett's first novel and third work of ficiton. Very Irish in the post-Joycean tradition, it nevertheless was the beginning of a new form of literary expression as some discerning critics recognized at the time, drawing heavily on the author's time spent in London as a young man, and especially on his experiences as a male nurse. It has for many years been one of the most popular novels of on...

Samuel Beckett began his career by publishing poems in literary reviews in Paris during the 1930s, and-although primarily considered a playwright and novelist-he continued writing poetry throughout his life. This new, definitive volume presents Beckett's poetry in the order it was composed, from pre-war to post-war, and contains previously unpublished and never-before-reprinted work. Along with his translations of Apollinaire, Mallarme, Rimbau...

3rd volume, focussing on the years when the writer strove to find a balance between the demands of his growing international fame, and his need for peace from which new writing might emerge.

Krapp, il protagonista, riascolta al registratore momenti e voci della sua vita. Il testo di Beckett è un esempio lucido della concezione moderna della tragedia: una tragedia nella quale gli dei sono la voce metallica di un registratore, il cono di luce che spiove da una lampada, l'ombra assillante che circonda ed imprigiona Krapp, questo fratello ideale degli altri derelitti personaggi di Beckett. Krapp è un rottame, un essere squassato dall'...
