Poslední zcela zásadní dílo Samuela Becketta, které se dosud neobjevilo v českém překladu. Tso je druhý Beckettův román (po Murphym), který byl napsán na konci války, ale vyšel v angličtině poprvé v Paříži roku 1953. Podobně jako Murphy je mnohavrstevným portrétem člověka, který sám je ztělesněním mnoha myšlenek a názorů, vyjadřujícím svébytnou filozofii o lidských možnostech v moderní době, ale zároveň je naprosto skvělým dílem humoristickým. Tso patří k Beckettovým nejčtivějším a nejopěvovanějším románům.

'Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful.' This line was adopted by Jean Anouilh, to characterize the first production of "Waiting For Godot" at the Theatre de Babylone, in 1953. Anybody acquinted with Beckett's masterly black comedy would not question the recognition of this twentieth-century literature classic.

'Molloy' is Samuel Beckett's best-known novel, and his first published work to be written in French. It brings a world into existence with finicking certainties, at the tip of whoever is holding the pencil, and trades larger uncertainties with the reader.

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 describes a lifetime's arc of writing.

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 of a narrator lying in the dark, in the mud, repeating his life as he hears it uttered - or remembered - by another voice.

Krapp's "Last Tape" was first performed by Patrick Magee at the Royal Court Theatre in October 1958. This volume brings together Krapp's "Last Tape" and Beckett's other shorter works or 'dramaticules' written for the stage. It is arranged in chronological order of composition.

'Happy Days' was written in 1960 and first produced in London at the Royal Court Theatre in November 1962.

This novel was first 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 fiance Celia tries with tragic pathos to draw him back, but her attempts are doomed to failure"

Beckett was one of the greatest and most influential literary figures of this century, and 'Waiting for Godot', now regarded as a classic of 20th-century European literature, is part of the standard repertoire in theatres around the world."

Fiction. "More Pricks Than Kicks", Beckett's early tragicomic masterpiece, is a collection of stories about Belacqua, a student in Dublin in the twenties, his adventures, encounters and amours, that through its original style and wry commentary succeeds in turning everyday incidents into high drama and lets us see street and university life through the observant and caustic wit of the author. Highly enjoyable to read, it delights in exuberant language and the pleasure of discovery, very typical of the young writer who in the post-war years was to astonish the world with Waiting for Godot and...
