AvSamuel Beckett

Skickas

Romantrilogin Molloy [1951], Malone dör [1951] och Den onämnbare [1953] brukar betraktas som Samuel Becketts viktigaste prosaverk. En svindlande undersökning av ett av människans äldsta älsklingsmotiv, ursprunget, men där all självkännedom avslöjas som illusion. Liksom karaktärerna krälar sig texten sakta men säkert fram mot sin logiska slutpunkt en värld där inga människor finns, inget medvetande. Trilogin hör till modernismens portalverk. Här samsas de tre romanerna i en och samma bok, i svensk översättning av Lill-Inger Eriksson och med ett förord av kritikern och litteraturforskaren Jesper Olsson.

SAMUEL BECKETT föddes 1906 i Dublin av irländska föräldrar och var bosatt i Frankrike från 1938 till sin död. 1969 belönades han med Nobelpriset i litteratur.

»Jag skulle kunna gå i pension, binda fast mig vid en stol och ägna all min vakna tid åt Molloy, Malone dör och Den onämnbare.« Jenny Tunedal, Aftonbladet

»Beckett äger en obönhörlig intellektuell uppriktighet och hans prosa har en naken, intrikat rytm som blir närmast hypnotisk.« | Time Magazine

»Beckett utmärks av en svårmotståndig kombination av gnäll och stoicism, misantropi och vardagsburleskt uppsluppen glädje. Det är kallt som satan och oväntat varmt, nästan tillmötesgående.« | Hallandsposten

»Beckett är ojämförlig, trollbindande... En seriös författare som har något allvarligt att säga om det mänskliga tillståndet.« | The New York Times

»Becketts trilogi är en litteratur som får tanken att svindla. Att som vuxen tillåtas tillträde till den existentiella zon där varje liten rörelse framstår som ny och outforskad är lika omtumlande som den första förälskelsen. Det går igenom hela nervsystemet.« Anna Hallberg, Dagens Nyheter

Samuel Beckett Trilogy

Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable

AvSamuel Beckett

Inbunden, Engelska, 2015

219 kr

Tillfälligt slut

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.

I väntan på Godot : en tragikomedi i två akter

AvSamuel Beckett

Inbunden, Svenska, 2019

253 kr

»I väntan på Godot hör till de mest studerade, omskrivna, hyllade och upphöjda verken över huvud taget. Dramat blev själva ur-texten för scenisk innovation och existentiellt tänkande under andra halvan av 1900-talet.« | Christopher Isherwood, New York Times Vladimir

(Didi) och Estragon (Gogo) möts nära landsvägen, vid trädet. De delar en morot. Funderar över på om de ska hänga sig; väger för och emot. I väntan på Godot. Samuel Becketts I väntan på Godot [En attendant Godot, 1953] är den moderna dramatikens kanske mest revolutionerande pjäs, vars titel till och med blivit ett fast uttryck på många språk. I väntan på Godot - poetisk, drömlik, absurd - har ofta tolkats som en allegori över mänsklighetens outtröttliga jakt på mening, och som sådan är den outsinligt magisk och vacker. Becketts expressionistiska minimalism var inte endast banbrytande för scenen, utan fångade med precision världslägets stämning just efter andra världskriget. Här i svensk översättning av Magnus Hedlund

SAMUEL BECKETT föddes 1906 i Dublin av irländska föräldrar och var bosatt i Frankrike från 1938 till sin död. Han skrev fem romaner, men det var som dramatiker han vann världsberömmelse. 1969 tilldelades han Nobelpriset i litteratur.

Proust

AvSamuel Beckett

Skickas

Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) skriver som tjugofyraåring denna studie över Marcel Proust. Han arbetar vid tiden som lärare i engelska vid École normale supérieure i Paris. Boken är en av de första studierna av Proust och har uppnått klassikerstatus. Både för att den utgör en originell läsning av Proust och för att den delvis förebådar hur Beckett i sitt eget författarskap genomlyser de mänskliga villkoren.

Erik Sandins översättning har inför denna utgåva reviderats av Daniel Pedersen. Filosofen Johan Sehlberg har skrivit efterord.

How It Is

AvSamuel Beckett

Häftad, Engelska, 2009

129 kr

Skickas

Published in French in 1961, and in English in 1964, How It Is is a novel in three parts, written in short paragraphs, which tell (abruptly, cajolingly, bleakly) of a narrator lying in the dark, in the mud, repeating his life as he hears it uttered - or remembered - by another voice. Told from within, from the dark, the story is tirelessly and intimately explicit about the feelings that pervade his world, but fragmentary and vague about all else therein or beyond.Together with Molloy, How It Is counts for many readers as Beckett's greatest accomplishment in the novel form. It is also his most challenging narrative, both stylistically and for the pessimism of its vision, which continues the themes of reduced circumstance, of another life before the present, and the self-appraising search for an essential self, which were inaugurated in the great prose narratives of his earlier trilogy. she sits aloof ten yards fifteen yards she looks up looks at me says at last to herself all is well he is working my head where is my head it rests on the table my hand trembles on the table she sees I am not sleeping the wind blows tempestuous the little clouds drive before it the table glides from light to darkness darkness to lightEdited by Edouard Magessa O'Reilly

This new collection brings together First Love, The Calamative, The End and The Expelled; these four novellas are among the first major works of Beckett's decision to use French as his language of literary composition. Rich in verbal and situational humour, they offer a fascinating insight into many of the issues which preoccupied Beckett all his working life. As the first novella reveals, nobody writes with quite such cruel and unnervingly clever wit as Beckett...

In The Plays of Samuel Beckett Eugene Webb first summarizes the western philosophical tradition which has culminated in the void--the centuries of attempts to impose form and meaning on existence, the failure of which has left experience in fragments and man a stranger in an unintelligible universe. Succeeding chapters take up the plays work by work, interpreting each individually and tracing recurrent motifs, themes, and images to show the continuity in the underlying tendencies of Beckett's mind and art.

It includes both the major dramatic works and the short and more compressed texts for the stage and for radio.'He believes in the cadence, the comma, the bite of word on reality, whatever else he believes; and his devotion to them, he makes clear, is a sufficient focus for the reader's attention. In the modern history of literature he is a unique moral figure, not a dreamer of rose-gardens but a cultivator of what will grow in the waste land, who can make us see the exhilarating design that thorns and yucca share with whatever will grow anywhere.' - Hugh KennerContents: Waiting for Godot, Endgame, Happy Days, All That Fall, Acts Without Words, Krapp's Last Tape, Roughs for the Theatre, Embers, Roughs for the Radio, Words and Music, Cascando, Play, Film, The Old Tune, Come and Go, Eh Joe, Breath, Not I, That Time, Footfalls, Ghost Trio,...but the clouds..., A Piece of Monologue, Rockaby, Ohio Impromptu, Quad, Catastrophe, Nacht und Traume, What Where.

The first of the three greatest novels by the era-defining Nobel laureate, reissued for a new generation.I am still alive then. That may come in useful.Molloy, a sordid, bedridden vagrant, recalls a long bicycle ride in search of his mother. He describes sucking on stones, falling in love, getting arrested, killing a dog. Moran, a private detective, sets out to look for Molloy. But as Moran's physical and mental state deteriorate, his narrative starts to mirror Molloy's in mysterious ways.Molloy is the first of the three great novels Samuel Beckett produced during his 'frenzy of writing' in the late 1940s. The others are Malone Dies and The Unnamable.

'Malone', writes Malone, 'is what I am called now.' On his deathbed, and wiling away the time with stories, the octogenarian Malone's account of his condition is intermittent and contradictory, shifting with the vagaries of the passing days: without mellowness, without elegiacs; wittier, jauntier, and capable of wilder rages than Molloy. The sound I liked best had nothing noble about it. It was the barking of the dogs, at night, in the clusters of hovels up in the hills, where the stone-cutters lived, like generations of stone-cutters before them. it came down to me where I lay, in the house in the plain, wild and soft, at the limit of earshot, soon weary. The dogs of the valley replied with their gross bay all fangs and jaws and foam...

_______________‘A triumph of scholarship and sympathy... one of the great post-war biographies' - Independent‘A landmark in scholarly criticism... Knowlson is the world's largest Beckett scholar. His life is right up there with George Painter's Proust and Richard Ellmann's Joyce in sensitivity and fascination' - Daily Telegraph‘It is hard to imagine a fuller portrait of the man who gave our age some of the myths by which it lives' - Evening Standard_______________SHORTLISTED FOR THE WHITBREAD PRIZE_______________Samuel Beckett's long-standing friend, James Knowlson, recreates Beckett's youth in Ireland, his studies at Trinity College, Dublin in the early 1920s and from there to the Continent, where he plunged into the multicultural literary society of late-1920s Paris. The biography throws new light on Beckett's stormy relationship with his mother, the psychotherapy he received after the death of his father and his crucial relationship with James Joyce. There is also material on Beckett's six-month visit to Germany as the Nazi's tightened their grip. The book includes unpublished material on Beckett's personal life after he chose to live in France, including his own account of his work for a Resistance cell during the war, his escape from the Gestapo and his retreat into hiding. Obsessively private, Beckett was wholly committed to the work which eventually brought his public fame, beginning with the controversial success of "Waiting for Godot" in 1953, and culminating in the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969.

Tillfälligt slut

Trilogin Molloy, Malone dör och Den Onämnbare har beskrivits som den moderna människans intellektuella och moraliska bankruttförklaring. Liksom karaktärerna krälar texten sakta men säkert fram mot sin logiska slutpunkt - en värld där inga människor finns, inget medvetande. Mellan Molloys eskatologiska värld och Malones språkliga förvirring i dödens närhet, och Den Onämnbare som redan vid textens utgångspunkt saknar namn och identitet - reduceras människan och språket gradvis, till någonting som närmar sig ingenting. Samuel Beckett föddes 1906 i Dublin av irländska föräldrar och var bosatt i Frankrike från 1938 till sin död. Hans mest kända romaner och pjäser, bland dem I väntan på Godot och Trilogin, skrevs på franska. 1969 mottog han Nobelpriset i litteratur. Romanerna Molloy, Malone dör och Den Onämnbare samlas nu för första gången på svenska i en volym, i översättning av Lill-Inger Eriksson och med förord av Jesper Olsson.

Samuel Beckett

AvRosemarie Bodenheimer

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

A book on the experience of reading the works of Samuel Beckett.After a life of writing about Victorian novelists, Rosemarie Bodenheimer found herself entranced by the work of Samuel Beckett. In this book she shares her journey of discovery with readers who may or may not be familiar with Beckett's novels and stories. She follows his trajectory from the first unpublished novel, Dream of Fair to Middling Women, through the great post-war trilogy of Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable, and on to the ever more experimental inventions in the shorter, later fictions, and monologues. Through readings of his work alongside extracts from his published correspondence, Beckett emerges as a sympathetic human figure, a poet of productive doubt, and a brilliant stylist of mood changes and second thoughts. Bodenheimer considers Beckett's treatments of memory, nostalgia, and grief, and the forms he finds to convey those essential human experiences while avoiding melodrama or sentimentality. His dramatized relationship with his own writing is a crucial part of that emotional landscape. His playful jousts with the conventions of novel-writing show how, from the start, Beckett challenged the notion of character and other inherited novel conventions. The book also emphasizes his dismantling of the autobiographical "I" his moving narratives of attachment and loss, and the inimitable mixture of comedy and pathos he creates by inventing outlandish situations to which his characters respond in very recognizable human ways.

To these 'shorter plays' Samuel Beckett devoted the same care and attention to the details of textual revision and stagecraft as he did to the full-length works, and this book contains revised texts prepared on the same editorial basis as before.

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. Well, thought Belacqua, it's a quick death, God help us all.It is not.'Dante and the Lobster' is the first of the linked short stories in Samuel Beckett's first book, More Pricks Than Kicks. Published in 1934, its style was recognisably indebted to that of his mentor, James Joyce, and crammed with linguistic texture and allusion that Beckett later shed. The book baffled many critics and sold so few copies that several batches were pulped.Decades later, this story was hailed as the Nobel Prize-winner's earliest important work.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

An electrifying analysis of one legendary giant of twentieth-century literature by another: Beckett on Proust.The whole of Proust's world comes out of a teacup . . . When he was only 25, Samuel Beckett published his first ever book: an electrifying dissection of Marcel Proust's masterpiece À la recherche du temps perdu.Habit, memory and time: Beckett argues that these are the defining characteristics of the human condition. Involuntary memories - like those prompted by Proust's famous madeleine - are radical moments that pierce the veil of habit, and offer inspiration that soothes the existential anguish of time passing. Through analysing Proust's technique, the young Beckett puts forth a blazing artistic manifesto for his own future works, such as Waiting for Godot, Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable. The result is a totemic meeting of literary minds that illuminates the philosophies of two creative geniuses.*Read in a new audiobook edition by Eimear McBride*

Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful.' This line from the play was adopted by Jean Anouilh to characterize the first production of Waiting for Godot at the Théâtre de Babylone in 1953. He went on to predict that the play would, in time, represent the most important premiere to be staged in Paris for forty years. Nobody acquainted with Beckett's masterly black comedy would now question this prescient recognition of a classic of twentieth-century literature.

Subtitled 'A tragicomedy in two Acts', and famously described by the Irish critic Vivien Mercier as a play in which 'nothing happens, twice', En attendant Godot was first performed at the Théâtre de Babylone in Paris in 1953. It was translated into English by Samuel Beckett, and Waiting for Godot opened at the Arts Theatre in London in 1955. 'Go and see Waiting for Godot. At the worst you will discover a curiosity, a four-leaved clover, a black tulip; at the best something that will securely lodge in a corner of your mind for as long as you live.' Harold Hobson, 7 August 1955'I told him that if by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot. This seemed to disappoint him greatly.' Samuel Beckett, 1955
