Beskrivning
A work-shy eponymous hero, adrift in London, realises that desire can never be satisfied and withdraws from life, in search of stupor. Murphy's lovestruck fiancée Celia tries with tragic pathos to draw him back, but her attempts are doomed to failure. Murphy's friends and familiars are simulacra of Murphy, fragmented and incomplete. But Beckett's achievement lies in the brilliantly original language used to communicate this vision of isolation and misunderstanding. The combination of particularity and absurdity gives Murphy's world its painful definition, but the sheer comic energy of Beckett's prose releases characters and readers alike into exuberance.

Mer om författaren
Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906 and moved to Paris as a young man. He wrote prose works, plays and poetry that express a distinctively bleak, tragicomic view of humankind, unable or unwilling to comprehend our paralyzed condition. The success in 1953 of his play En attendant Godot (Waiting for Godot) secured his international literary reputation and in 1961 he shared the Prix Formentor with Jorge Luis Borges. In 1969 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He died in Paris in 1989.
