Product Description

From the Back Cover

In this beautiful short text we are given a picture of a body
crouched in a confined space, carefully described, a living tomb that is
becoming a lifeless tomb. The thoughts, anguish, prayers, and memories are
those so many suffer in this cruel world, but the picture we are given is
universal and metaphorical, deeply moving and imbued with all the poetry of
Beckettian prose.

This is part of a series of twelve short volumes brought out ten years
after the great writer's death, containing the best of the shorter writing,
ranging from early work to his final writings. All have covers with the
photographs of Samuel Beckett taken by the Irish photographer John Minihan,
which, catching the author in different moods, have become classics on
their own.

About the Author

Samuel Beckett was born in a suburb of Dublin in 1906 and died
in Paris in 1989. After school in Northern Ireland he went to Trinity
College in Dublin where he distinguished himself in French and Italian and
was recognised as a brilliant scholar, who under an exchange arrangement
taught at the Ecole Normale Supérieure before becoming a writer. He left
Ireland and finally settled in Paris, staying in France during the war
where he was a courier in the Résistance. He won the Nobel Prize in 1969
and is now recognised as one of the major writers of the 20th century.
