New Releases by Samuel Beckett

Beschrijving van de simpele, zich steeds wijzigende situatie waarin een oude eenzame vrouw verkeert

This volume brings together three of Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett''s major short stories and thirteen shorter pieces of fiction that he calls "texts for nothing." Here, as in all his work, Beckett relentlessly strips away all but the essential to arrive at a core of truth. His prose reveals the same mastery that marks his work from Waiting for Godot and Endgame to Molloy and Malone Dies. In each of the three stories, old men displaced or expelled from the modest corners where they have been living bestir themselves in search of new corners. Told, "You can''t stay here, " they somehow, doggedly, inevitably, go on.

This collection gathers together the Nobel Prize-winning writer Samuel Beckett''s English poems (including Whoroscope, his first published verse), English translations of poems by Eluard, Rimbaud, Apollinaire, and Chamfort, and poems in French, several of which are presented in translation.

Eight short prose pieces, written between 1960 and 1975, continue Beckett''s unsparing and spare-styled exploration of the dark ways and circumscribed passages of twentieth-century life

Characters relate in detail the experiences which shaped their personalities or reflect them vividly.

Samuel Beckett''s celebrated early study of Marcel proust, whose theories of time were to play a large part in his own work, was written in 1931. It is a brilliant work of critical insight that also tells us much about its author''s own thinking and preoccupations. In its own right it is a masterpiece of literary and philosophical creative writing. This edition was published in 1999 - ten years after the writer''s death. The volume also contains the equally celebrated dialogues with the art critic Georges Duthuit - written to record their different points of view after the discussions took place. Beckett always let Duthuit win, but his very unusual and often opposite point of view on the nature and purpose of art is all the more forceful and memorable on that account.

This work relates the adventures of an unnamed narrator crawling through the mud while dragging a sack of canned food. It is written as a sequence of unpunctuated paragraphs divided into three sections.
