书籍简介

Waiting for Godot的副标题是 "两幕悲喜剧"，并被爱尔兰评论家Vivien Mercier描述为 "什么也没发生，两次 "的著名戏剧，于1953年在巴黎的Babylone剧院首次演出。它被塞缪尔-贝克特翻译成英语，《等待戈多》于1955年在伦敦的艺术剧院上演。

去看看《等待戈多》吧。在最坏的情况下，你会发现一种好奇心，一朵四叶草，一朵黑色的郁金香；在最好的情况下，在你有生之年，一些东西会牢牢地藏在你头脑的一个角落里。哈罗德-霍布森，1955年8月7日

我告诉他，如果我说的戈多是指上帝，我就会说上帝，而不是戈多。这似乎让他非常失望。塞缪尔-贝克特，1955年

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 Theatre 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

作者简介

塞缪尔-贝克特1906年出生在都柏林，毕业于三一学院。他在德国旅行并在伦敦和都柏林居住了一段时间后，于1937年在巴黎定居。第二次世界大战期间，他留在法国，积极参加法国抵抗运动。从1946年春天开始，他的戏剧、小说、短篇小说、诗歌和评论大部分是用法语写的。随着1953年《戈多》在巴黎的演出，贝克特的作品开始获得广泛的认可。在他随后作为剧作家和小说家的职业生涯中，他用法语和英语重新定义了散文小说和戏剧写作的可能性。塞缪尔-贝克特于1961年获得福门托尔奖，1969年获得诺贝尔文学奖。他于1989年12月在巴黎去世。

Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906 and graduated from Trinity College. He settled in Paris in 1937, after travels in Germany and periods of residence in London and Dublin. He remained in France during the Second World War and was active in the French Resistance. From the spring of 1946 his plays, novels, short fiction, poetry and criticism were largely written in French. With the production of En attendant Godot in Paris in 1953, Beckett's work began to achieve widespread recognition. During his subsequent career as a playwright and novelist in both French and English he redefined the possibilities of prose fiction and writing for the theatre. Samuel Beckett won the Prix Formentor in 1961 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969. He died in Paris in December 1989.
