Waiting for Godot; a tragicomedy in two acts

Beckett, Samuel

Verlag: Faber and Faber Limited, London, 1957

[a nice copy, with only minimal shelfwear; the jacket shows a touch of wear along the top edge, and the front panel illustration gives the appearance of being somewhat rubbed (a sort of "cloudiness" with lots of tiny white artifacts) but actually isn't -- a printing anomaly, I suspect]. "Its form is unusual; its contents weird; its chief themes are madness, boredom, suffering, cruelty: yet the effect of its inspired cross-talk is hilarious." (Couldn't have put it better myself.) Written in French (and translated here by Beckett himself), the play premiered in Paris in 1952, and three years later in London, where "it aroused more excitement and more discussion than any play presented in the West End for years" -- and has been doing so ever since.
