«Esperando a Godot» is the play by Samuel Beckett published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
In this work of the theatre of the absurd, two beings forge their existence waiting for a mysterious Godot who never arrives. The deliberately repetitive action turns waiting into a reflection on tedium and lack of meaning. Beckett defined the work as «horriblemente cómica».
This edition, published in 1995, is number 26 of the Maxi collection. The Spanish translation is by Ana María Moix.
For literature students and theatre enthusiasts who want to approach a classic of 20th-century drama.
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."
