Comme un thème que propose un compositeur, auquel les interprètes musiciens peuvent apporter toutes sortes de variations personnelles, c’est un thème que Samuel Beckett nous propose dans Le Dépeupleur. Il crée avec une rigueur mathématique et géométrique un microcosme totalement clos, un « cylindre surbaissé » qu’il peuple d’une foule d’êtres captifs. Il y fait régner des castes, des hiérarchies très précises, et des lois extrêmement rigoureuses. Pour autant, l’interprétation du thème reste ouverte et c’est même dans la multiplicité des lectures qu’il suscite que réside son infinie richesse.

Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Printing. 2nd printing. Jacket lightly toned. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1972 Hard Cover. 63, [1] pp. Samuel Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969; his literary output of plays, novels, stories and poetry has earned him an uncontested place as one of the greatest writers of our time. Much like a theme proposed by a composer - upon which performing musicians can improvise all manner of personal variations - Samuel Beckett offers us a theme in The Lost Ones. With mathematical and geometric precision, he creates a completely self-contained microcosm - a "flattened cylinder" - which he populates with a multitude of captive beings. Within it, he establishes distinct castes, precise hierarchies, and extremely rigorous laws. Yet the interpretation of the theme remains open; indeed, its infinite richness lies in the multiplicity of readings it inspires. Seller Inventory # 2354847
