«Esperando a Godot» is the play by Samuel Beckett, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Vladimir and Estragon wait by a tree for the arrival of a mysterious character named Godot. Between conversations and silences, both their lives remain suspended in a wait that leads nowhere, tinged with black humour and an anguish expressed with minimal means. Premiered in Paris in 1953, the play became a landmark of theatre.
Spanish-language edition from the Marginales collection, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in 1982. Samuel Beckett received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969.
For readers of theatre and contemporary literature who value works combining philosophy, black humour and a tragic vision of existence.
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."
