The Theatrical Notebooks of Samuel Beckett - The Shorter Plays

Informationen zum Autor Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906 and graduated from Trinity College. He settled in Paris in 1937, after travels in Germany and periods of residence in London and Dublin. He remained in France during the Second World War and was active in the French Resistance. From the spring of 1946 his plays, novels, short fiction, poetry and criticism were largely written in French. With the production of En attendant Godot in Paris in 1953, Beckett's work began to achieve widespread recognition. During his subsequent career as a playwright and novelist in both French and English he redefined the possibilities of prose fiction and writing for the theatre. Samuel Beckett won the Prix Formentor in 1961 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969. He died in Paris in December 1989. S.E. Gontarski is co-author (with Chris Ackerley) of the The Faber Companion to Samuel Beckett: A Reader's Guide to His Life, Works, and Thought (Faber 2006), and he has edited volumes IV ( Shorter Plays ) and II ( Endgame ) of The Theatrical Notebooks of Samuel Beckett (Faber 1999, 1993); he has also edited Samuel Beckett: the Complete Short Prose (Grove Press 1995).
