Inhaltsangabe

'Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it is terrible.' Jean Anouilh's judgement on the first production of Waiting for Godot at the Babylone in 1953 went on to conclude that the play would, in time, represent the most important premiere to be staged in Paris in forty years. Nobody who is acquainted with Beckett's masterly black comedy would now question this prescient recognition of a classic of twentieth-century literature.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Samuel Beckett was the first of the absurdists to win international fame. His works have been translated into over twenty languages. In 1969 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He continued to write until his death in 1989, but the task grew more and more difficult with each work until, in the end, he said that each word seemed to him an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.
