Bøger af Samuel Beckett

The present volume gathers all of Beckett's texts for theatre, from 1955 to 1984. It includes both the major dramatic works and the short and more compressed texts for the stage and for radio.'He believes in the cadence, the comma, the bite of word on reality, whatever else he believes; and his devotion to them, he makes clear, is a sufficient focus for the reader's attention. In the modern history of literature he is a unique moral figure, not a dreamer of rose-gardens but a cultivator of what will grow in the waste land, who can make us see the exhilarating design that thorns and yucca share with whatever will grow anywhere.' - Hugh KennerContents: Waiting for Godot, Endgame, Happy Days, All That Fall, Acts Without Words, Krapp's Last Tape, Roughs for the Theatre, Embers, Roughs for the Radio, Words and Music, Cascando, Play, Film, The Old Tune, Come and Go, Eh Joe, Breath, Not I, That Time, Footfalls, Ghost Trio,...but the clouds..., A Piece of Monologue, Rockaby, Ohio Impromptu, Quad, Catastrophe, Nacht und Traume, What Where.

"Waiting for Godot" has become one of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past 50 years and a cornerstone of 20th-century drama. The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone--or something--named Godot. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning.

Written in Roussillon during World War Two, while Samuel Beckett was hiding from the Gestapo, Watt was first published in 1953. Beckett acknowledged that this comic novel unlike any other 'has its place in the series' - those masterpieces running from Murphy to the Trilogy, Waiting for Godot and beyond. It shares their sense of a world in crisis, their profound awareness of the paradoxes of being, and their distrust of the rational universe. Watt tells the tale of Mr Knott's servant and his attempts to get to know his master. Watt's mistake is to derive the essence of his master from the accidentals of his being, and his painstakingly logical attempts to 'know' ultimately consign him to the asylum. Itself a critique of error, Watt has previously appeared in editions that are littered with mistakes, both major and minor. The new Faber edition offers for the first time a corrected text based on a scholarly appraisal of the manuscripts and textual history.

The Letters of Samuel Beckett offers for the first time a comprehensive range of letters of one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century. This volume provides a vivid and personal view of Western Europe in the 1930s, marked by the emergence of Beckett's unique voice and sensibility.

Subtitled 'A tragicomedy in two Acts', and famously described by the Irish critic Vivien Mercier as a play in which 'nothing happens, twice', En attendant Godot was first performed at the Theatre de Babylone in Paris in 1953. It was translated into English by Samuel Beckett, and Waiting for Godot opened at the Arts Theatre in London in 1955. 'Go and see Waiting for Godot. At the worst you will discover a curiosity, a four-leaved clover, a black tulip; at the best something that will securely lodge in a corner of your mind for as long as you live.' Harold Hobson, 7 August 1955'I told him that if by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot. This seemed to disappoint him greatly.' Samuel Beckett, 1955

From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment by American and British audiences, Waiting for Godot has become one of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. Now in honor of the centenary of Samuel Beckett's birth, Grove Press is publishing a bilingual edition of the play. Originally written in French, Beckett translated the work himself, and in doing so chose to revise and eliminate various passages. With side-by-side text the reader can experience the mastery of Beckett's language and explore the nuances of his creativity. Upon being asked who Godot is, Samuel Beckett told Alan Schneider, If I knew, I would have said so in the play. Although we may never know who we are waiting for, in this special edition we can rediscover one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.

Esperando a Godot (en francés: En attendant Godot), a veces subtitulada Tragicomedia en dos actos, es una obra perteneciente al teatro del absurdo, escrita a finales de los años 40 por Samuel Beckett y publicada en 1952 por Éditions de Minuit. Beckett escribió la obra originalmente en francés, su segunda lengua. La traducción al inglés fue realizada por el mismo Beckett y publicada en 1955. La obra se divide en dos actos, y en ambos aparecen dos vagabundos llamados Vladimir y Estragon que esperan en vano junto a un camino a un tal Godot, con quien (quizás) tienen alguna cita. El público nunca llega a saber quién es Godot, o qué tipo de asunto han de tratar con él. En cada acto, aparecen el cruel Pozzo y su esclavo Lucky (en inglés, afortunado), seguidos de un muchacho que hace llegar el mensaje a Vladimir y Estragon de que Godot no vendrá hoy, "pero mañana seguro que sí". Esta trama, que intencionalmente no tiene ningún hecho relevante y es altamente repetitiva, simboliza el tedio y la carencia de significado de la vida humana, tema recurrente del existencialismo. Una interpretación extendida del misteriosamente ausente Godot es que representa a Dios (en inglés: God), aunque Beckett siempre negó esto.Como nombre propio, Godot puede ser un derivado de diferentes verbos franceses. Beckett afirmó que derivaba de godillot, que en jerga francesa significa bota. El título podría entonces sugerir que los personajes están esperando a la bota

Bjergtaget af På sporet af den tabte tid skrev Samuel Beckett i sine unge år – længe før Godot og Nobelprisen – dette særdeles lærde og levende essay om Prousts store romanværk. Med referencer til den klassiske oldtids sagn, religion og filosofi og til litterære værker, litteraturhistorie og filosofi undersøger Beckett blandt andet vanens og tidens magt hos Proust i en tekst, der både gør læseren klogere på Proust og Becketts egen senere produktion, der på mange måder var inspireret af Proust.“Prousts personer er således ofre for denne dominerende betingelse og omstændighed ‒ Tid – ofre, som laverestående væsener er ofre, kun bevidste om to dimensioner og pludselig konfronteret med højdens mysterium: ofre og fanger. Det er ikke muligt at flygte fra timerne og dagene. Hverken fra i morgen eller i går. Vi kan ikke flygte fra i går, fordi i går har ødelagt os eller er blevet ødelagt af os. Sindsstemningen er uden betydning. Ødelæggelse har fundet sted. I går er ikke en milepæl, der er passeret, men en dags-sten på årenes slagne landevej og uigenkaldeligt en del af os, i os, tung og farlig. Vi er ikke bare mere trætte på grund af i går, vi er også nogle andre, ikke længere hvad vi var før gårsdagens ulykke. En ulykkelig dag, men ikke nødvendigvis ulykkelig i sit indhold. Personens gode eller onde handling har hverken realitet eller betydning. Kroppens og intelligensens umiddelbare glæder og sorger befrugter hinanden på så uendeligt mange måder.”

Ein älteres Paar, Winnie und Willie, vegetiert in einem zeitlichen und geographischen Vakuum seinem Ende entgegen. Winnie steckt in einem Erdhaufen - ein weiblicher Torso, der sich vergeblich bemüht, seine einstige Ganzheit als Rolle weiterzuspielen. Vor der Gewißheit ihrer Verwesung flüchtet sie sich in das trostlos zelebrierte Ritual banaler Beschäftigungen mit Gegenständen, die ihren Sinn verloren haben. Die Monologe ihrer qualvollen Isolation balancieren am Rande des Schweigens, das ihren Partner Willie bereits umfängt. Seine seltenen, schwachen Lebenszeichen elektrisieren Winnie, erfüllen sie mit einer Glückshoffnung. In Willie zucken Funken von Vitalität auf, für Winnie wird durch diese Clownerie die Zeitwüste zu einem »glücklichen Tag«.Samuel Beckett, geboren am 13. April 1906 in Dublin, starb am 22. Dezember 1989 in Paris.

"The publication of Samuel Beckett’s Theatrical Notebooks . . . is a major event which casts fascinating light on the thought processes of a great writer.”—Review of English StudiesFrom the mid-1960s, Samuel Beckett himself directed all his major plays in Berlin, Paris, or London. For most of these productions he meticulously prepared notebooks for his personal use.The theatrical notebooks of Beckett that are reproduced in facsimile here are translated and annotated and thus offer a remarkable record of his own involvement with the staging of his texts. They present his solutions to practical problems but also provide a unique insight into the ways he envisaged his plays. With additional information taken from Beckett’s own annotated and corrected copies, the editors have been able to constitute a new revised text for each of the major plays.Beckett directed Krapp’s Last Tape on four separate occasions: this volume offers a facsimile of his 1969 Schiller Theater notebook, which contains some of the most explicit analysis by the playwright of his own work ever revealed. The revised text incorporates many of the changes he made in the 1969 Schiller production, as well as subsequent changes in later productions. It reveals a flexibility and openness of approach often considered alien to Beckett’s ways of working in the theatre.

"Packed with wonderful details illustrating Beckett's literary and dramatic brilliance and providing fascinating interpretive aids to these important plays."-David E. Liss

"The Theatrical Notebooks of Samuel Beckett is beyond doubt a major contribution to Beckett scholarship and to the study of drama as a genre."-Richard J. Finneran

Collected here in one volume, Samuel Beckett's three novels, which are among the most beautiful and disquieting of his later prose works, come together with the powerful resonance of his famous "Three Novels" "Molloy," "Malone Dies," "The Unnamable."In "Company," a voice comes to "one on his back in the dark" and speaks to him, describing significant moments in life, and yet we are told it is all a fable, memories or figments devised or imagined for the sake of company. "Ill Seen Ill Said" focuses attention on an old woman in a cabin who is part of the objects, landscape, rhythms, and movements of an incomprehensible universe. And in "Worstward Ho," Beckett explores a tentative, uncertain existence in a world devoid of rational meaning and purpose. Here is language pared down to its most expressive, confirming Beckett's position as one of the great writers of our time.
