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

»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.

Samuel Beckett Trilogy

Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable

AvSamuel Beckett

Inbunden, Engelska, 2015

229 kr

Skickas

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.

Skickas

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.

Murphy

AvSamuel Beckett

Häftad, Engelska, 2009

133 kr

Skickas

Edited by J. C. C. MaysMurphy, Samuel Beckett's first novel, was published in 1938. Its 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.

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.

How It Is

AvSamuel Beckett

Häftad, Engelska, 2009

133 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

Waiting for Godot

A Tragicomedy in Two Acts

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.

Collected Poems of Samuel Beckett

AvSamuel Beckett

309 kr

Skickas

It was as a poet that Samuel Beckett launched himself in the little reviews of 1930s Paris, and as a poet that he ended his career.The Collected Poems is the most complete edition of Beckett's poetry and verse translations ever to be published, as well as the first critical edition. It establishes a significant new canon, and the commentary draws on a wide range of published sources, manuscripts and Beckett's extensive correspondence. The notes place each poem in context, detailing the history and circumstances of its composition; they indicate significant variants and help explain obscure turns of phrase and allusions (frequently sourced to Beckett's notebooks); they also identify resonances between poems and across Beckett's work as a whole. The commentary is written in a lively and engaging style and is intended equally for the general reader, the student of modernism and the Beckett specialist.

Malone Dies

'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...

The Unnamable - so named because he knows not who he may be - is from a nameless place. He speaks of previous selves ('all these Murphys, Molloys, and Malones...') as diversions from the need to stop speaking altogether. But, as with the other novels in the trilogy, the prose is full of marvellous precisions, full of its own reasons for keeping going....perhaps the words have carried me to the threshold of my story, before the door that opens on my story, that would surprise me, if it opens, it will be I, will be the silence, where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.

Molloy is Samuel Beckett's best-known novel, and his first published work to be written in French, ushering in a period of concentrated creativity in the late 1940s which included the companion novels Malone Dies and The Unnamable. The narrative of Molloy, old and ill, remembering and forgetting, scarcely human, begets a parallel tale of the spinsterish Moran, a private detective sent in search of him, whose own deterioration during the quest joins in with the catalogue of Molloy's woes. Molloy brings a world into existence with finicking certainties, at the tip of whoever is holding the pencil, and trades larger uncertainties with the reader.Then I went back into the house and wrote, It is midnight. The rain is beating on the windows. It was not midnight. It was not raining.Edited by Shane Weller

The present volume gathers all of Beckett's texts for theatre, from 1955 to 1984. 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.

General in his Labyrinth

AvGabriel Garcia Marquez

Inbunden, Engelska, 2004

With the style and eloquent language that earned him the Nobel prize for literature, Marquez weaves a stunning story of glory and despair. Both real history and Marquez' imagination let us enter the world of Simon Bolivar, Liberator of South America, in all his humanity - good and evil. Bolivar drove the Spanish out of South America, dealt with treachery from his own compatriots. Once hailed as a hero, he is now scorned and reviled, and fighting his own demons, he refuses to die quietly. We are given a glimpse of the genius and foibles of the man behind the legend, as we accompany him on his last journey, accompanied only by the loyal remants of his once great army.

Expelled/The Calmative/The End with First Love

AvSamuel Beckett

Häftad, Engelska, 2009

138 kr

Skickas

These four stories or 'nouvelles' date from 1945, though all were published much later, in French and subsequently in English. All make use of a first-person narrator, and relish its vagaries - the inability to remember facts, the uncertainty as to why he is speaking in the first place, the loss of heart when explanations seem called for... Above all, the stories crisply plot the narrator's plotless descent into vagrancy, the steeper as it approaches The End. Out of these short works and their patient procedures grew the large canvases of Molloy and Malone Dies.My bench was still there. It was shaped to fit the curves of the seated body. It stood beside a watering trough, gift of a Mrs Maxwell to the city horses, according to the inscription. During the short time I rested there, several horses took advantage of the monument. The iron shoes approached and the jingle of the harness. Then silence. That was the horse looking at me. Then the noise of pebbles and mud that horses make when drinking. Then the silence again. That was the horse looking at me again. Then the pebbles again. Then the silence again. Till the horse had finished drinking or the driver deemed it had drunk its fill.Edited by Christopher Ricks

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

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*

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.

The second of the three greatest novels by the era-defining Nobel laureate, reissued for a new generation.Nothing is more real than nothing.Malone, a decrepit old man, lies naked in his bed, scrawling bitter observations in an exercise book. He is fed on a bed-table, his chamber pot is emptied, he hooks items with his stick, he looks out of the window. He tells the story of a man, looked after by nurses, taken for an ill-fated picnic on an island in the sea. As his mind disintegrates, so does the novel . . . Malone Dies is the second of the three great novels Samuel Beckett produced during his 'frenzy of writing' in the late 1940s. The others are Molloy and The Unnamable.

Written in Roussillon during World War Two, while Samuel Beckett was hiding from the Gestapo, Watt was first published in 1953. Beckett acknowledged that this comic novel unlike any other 'has its place in the series' - those masterpieces running from Murphy to the Trilogy, Waiting for Godot and beyond. It shares their sense of a world in crisis, their profound awareness of the paradoxes of being, and their distrust of the rational universe. Watt tells the tale of Mr Knott's servant and his attempts to get to know his master. Watt's mistake is to derive the essence of his master from the accidentals of his being, and his painstakingly logical attempts to 'know' ultimately consign him to the asylum. Itself a critique of error, Watt has previously appeared in editions that are littered with mistakes, both major and minor. The new Faber edition offers for the first time a corrected text based on a scholarly appraisal of the manuscripts and textual history.
