Samuel Beckett is the greatest Irish novelist of the later twentieth century, and this trilogy of novels is his masterpiece -which makes it perhaps the outstanding literary work of our time. Because Beckett has a reputation for being difficult, even obscure, readers of the trilogy are bound to be struck not only by the verbal brilliance and inventiveness of the three novels, but also by their extraordinary humour which ranges from wit to broad comedy and even farce in a recognizably Irish way. Each story records an episode of human endurance in the face of metaphysical adversity with compassion and wisdom and each is a compelling narrative in itself in the great tradition of European fiction from Flaubert to Joyce.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. A first edition thus, which means, in this case, the first printing of the UK hardback Everyman edition. It has a fascinating introduction and select bibliography by Gabriel Josipovici, unique to this edition. The excellent chronology helps locate the time and place, along with the historical context. An extraordinary work of 20th Century writing, some think it more powerful than Godot. Mournful blasphemies about mankind disguise Beckett's compassion. Mad? Certainly, just as mad as our species so reliably demonstrates. And it is worth stating that this mighty trilogy is demanding as well as funny. Unread and new condition, in an unclipped protected perfect jacket, this fine edition is a further example of the wonders of this Everyman series. Language: eng Language: eng.
