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.

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.

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

Edited by J. C. C. Mays Murphy, 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.

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. This new selection, from Whoroscope (1930) to ''what is the word'' (1988), describes a lifetime''s arc of writing. It was as a poet moreover that Beckett made his first breakthrough into writing in French, and the Selected Poems represents work in both languages, including the sequence of brief but highly crafted mirlitonnades, which did so much to usher in the style of his late prose, and come as close as anything he wrote to honouring the ambition to ''bore one hole after another in language, until what lurks behind it - be it something or nothing - begins to seep through.'' Also included are several of Beckett''s translations from contemporaries - Apollinaire, Eluard, Michaux, Montale - in versions which count among his own poetic achievements. Edited by David Wheatley

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.

These four last prose fictions by Samuel Beckett were originally published individually, and their composition spanned the final decade of his life. In "Company" a solitary hearer lying in blackness calls up images from the far-off past. "Ill Seen Ill Said" meditates upon an old woman living out her last days alone in an isolated snow-bound cottage, watched over by twelve mysterious sentinels. In "Worstward Ho", a breathless speaker unravels the sense of things, acting out the unending injunction to 'Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' And "Stirrings Still", published in the "Guardian" a few months before Beckett's death in 1989, is the last prose work and testament of 'this great soothsayer of the age, and of the aged' (Christopher Ricks). The present edition includes several short prose texts ("Heard in the Dark" I & II, "One Evening", "The Way", and, "Ceiling") which represent work in progress or works ancillary to the composition of these late masterpieces.

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. 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.

This new collection brings together First Love, The Calamative, The End and The Expelled; these four novellas are among the first major works of Beckett's decision to use French as his language of literary composition. Rich in verbal and situational humour, they offer a fascinating insight into many of the issues which preoccupied Beckett all his working life.

Krapp's Last Tape was first performed by Patrick Magee at the Royal Court Theatre in October 1958, and described as 'a solo, if that is the word, for one voice and two organs: one human, one mechanical. It fills few pages. It is perhaps the most original and important play of its length ever written.' (Roy Walker)The present volume brings together Krapp's Last Tape and Beckett's other shorter works or 'dramaticules' written for the stage. It will be complemented by a forthcoming Faber edition of dramatic works written for radio and screen. Arranged in chronological order of composition, these shorter plays exhibit the laconic means and compassionate ends of Beckett's dramatic vision. KRAPP 'Here I end this reel. Box - [Pause.] - three, spool - [Pause.] - five. [Pause.] Perhaps my best years have gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now.

Trilogie Molloy, Malone umírá a Nepojmenovatelný má v Beckettově prozaickém díle stejně zásadní postavení jako Čekání na Godota či Konec hry v jeho díle určeném pro divadelní scénu. Radikální "antirománová" forma, spojená s rozpadem vypravěčského vědomí a stále vyhrocenější anonymitou, se jedinečným způsobem pojí se skeptickým a černým humorem. Beckett zde naplňuje své autorské krédo, že úkolem umělce je selhávat lépe než kdokoli jiný, a vytváří jeden z mála modernistických textů, který lze bez rozpaků stavět vedle díla Franze Kafky. Individuální hrdina se zřetelnými obrysy mizí, ohniskem vyprávění se místo něj stává nejistota a kupící se vědomí nicoty lidské existence. Prózy původně psané francouzsky a poté autorem převedené do angličtiny mistrovsky přeložil Tomáš Hrách.

The Royal Shakespeare Company''s choice of The Two Noble Kinsmen to open the Swan Theatre in 1986 demonstrated that this long-neglected play has at last come into its own as a stageworthy, humorous, and moving dramatization of the conflicting claims of love and friendship. It was first published in 1634 as `by the memorable worthies of their time, Mr John Fletcher, and Mr William Shakespeare, Gent'' and was probably first performed soon after the wedding of Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the company''s patron James I, to the Elector Palatine in February 1613. The exceptionally full introduction to this edition explains the relevance to the play of ideas of chivalry and of the classical idea of friendship. The edition (which is illuminatingly illustrated) also offers a discussion of the centuries-long debate about the play''s authorship and a clarification of its stage action.

The Oxford Critical Guide to Tacitus presents eighteen chapters surveying individual works and books by Tacitus. The chapters treat a range of interpretive issues, including Tacitus'' language and style; historical issues; literary devices; and narrative patterns. Differing from other introductions to Tacitus that adopt a thematic approach to his oeuvre as a whole, this volume approaches each as a unit, from start to finish, addressing important interpretive issues relevant to specific texts, giving readers a deeper appreciation of their nuances and features. Presupposing no prior knowledge of the works or knowledge of Latin, these features make the volume an essential resource for those studying Tacitus in translation and the original language, for those in classical studies and in other disciplines, and for teachers and students, both those at the undergraduate level and those at the graduate level.

An introduction for English-language readers to Georges Bataille’s postwar philosophical and critical writings. In the aftermath of World War II, French thinker and writer Georges Bataille forged a singular path through the moral and political impasses of his age. In 1946, animated by “a need to live events in an increasingly conscious way,” and to reject any compartmentalization of intellectual life, Bataille founded the journal Critique. Continuing the publication of his postwar writings, this second book in a three-volume collection of Bataille’s work collects his essays and reviews from the years 1949 to 1951. In this period of intellectual isolation and intense reflection, Bataille developed and refined his genealogy of morality through a sustained reflection on the fate of the sacred in the modern world. He offered a critique of the limits of existing morality, especially in its denial of excess, while sketching the lineaments of a new hyper-morality. Bataille’s wide-ranging reflections are true to the intellectual mission of Critique, which he founded as a space open to the broadest considerations of the present. As well as discussing significant figures like Samuel Beckett, André Gide, and René Char, Bataille also offers fascinating reflections on American politics, Nazism, existentialism, materialism, and play. The connecting thread in these diverse essays remains Bataille’s concern with the extremes of human experience and the possibilities of transcending the limits of societies founded on utility and restraint. His writings remain a provocative incitement to rethink the boundaries we impose on expression and existence.

Samuel Porten, muzikálně nadané a citlivé dítě, má před sebou slibnou kariéru houslisty, ale jeho dětská duše prochází peklem neharmonické viktoriánské rodiny obchodníka s nemovitostmi a jeho ambiciózní, zneuznané ženy - životem zhrzené matky prahnoucí po uznání. Samuel se před matčiným despotismem uzavírá a začíná si utvářet svůj vlastní svět - plný otázek, hledání a zejména fantazie. Po nenadálé otcově smrti se v jeho životě příliš nezmění, ale pak do jejich domu přijde Marion, dívka, která se příležitostně stará o chod domácnosti. Vzájemná náklonost Marion a Samuela přeroste v hlubší vztah. Samuel nalézá odvahu k úniku z dusivého sevření své matky a věří, že Marion mu pomůže se osamostatnit. Jejich společný samostatný život se zdá být životním vítězstvím. Samuel ale netuší, jak zrádný se tento krok, na který není připraven, ukáže. Samuelovy city k Marion jsou konfrontovány s jeho veřejným úspěchem virtuosa a Samuel nedokáže střízlivě zhodnotit svůj nově získaný status celebrity. Status, o němž až příliš pozdě pochopí, jak je iluzorní. Vztah s Marion se hroutí a po jejím nečekaném zmizení se Samuelovi jeho život na dlouhá léta vymkne z rukou. Díky pomoci rodinného přítele pana Harta a také pomoci matky, které není osud syna lhostejný a zpovzdálí vše sleduje, se Samuel těžce a pozvolna ze svých démonů vzpamatovává a postupně nachází vůli k proměně. Je to dlouhý proces, během něhož se mu podaří poznat svoji dceru, najít cestu k novému životu, k novým hodnotám, k poznání sebe samého. Prchavé štěstí je ale narušováno stále se vracející a hluboko v duši usazenou zátěží. Stíny minulosti i pocit viny mu jsou silným soupeřem. Samuel ale svůj boj nevzdává a bojuje až do posledních chvil. Autor novely, kardiochirurg a umělecký sklář Mojmír Čermák, umístil do kontextu viktoriánské doby poselství, které za dobovou šerou romantikou, příznačnou morbiditou i prerafaelitským sentimentem získává samostatnou, nadčasovou platnost. Naléhavost otázek po smyslu života, vině a vnitřních démonech, kterým každý z nás musí čelit, je podmanivá a příběh se odvíjí jako hudební symfonie až ke svému dramatickému vyvrcholení.

Laws provides clear, practical advice for every step of the process for artists at every level, from the basics of choosing supplies to advanced techniques.
