«En attendant Godot» is the play by Samuel Beckett, published by Les Éditions de Minuit in paperback (134 pages, in French).
Vladimir and Estragon wait by a tree for the arrival of Godot, whom they barely know. Over two acts, the dialogue between Vladimir and Estragon combines humour and anguish, repetitions and wordplay; the waiting becomes a reflection on the meaning of existence.
Originally written in French by the Irish author Samuel Beckett, the play was published in 1952.
For readers of theatre of the absurd and twentieth-century French literature.
Samuel Barclay Beckett was an Irish novelist, playwright, poet, and literary critic. Writing in both English and French, his literary and theatrical works feature bleak, impersonal, and tragicomic episodes of life, coupled with black comedy and literary nonsense. Beckett is widely regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century, credited with transforming modern theatre. As a major figure of Irish literature, he is best known for his tragicomedy play Waiting for Godot (1953). For his foundational contribution to both literature and theatre, Beckett received the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his writing, which—in new forms for the novel and drama—in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation."
