The surge of letters beginning in 1945, and their variety, are matched by the outpouring and the range of Beckett's published work. Primarily written in French and later translated by the author, the work includes stories, a series of novels (Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable), essays and plays - most notably Waiting for Godot. The letters chronicle a passionately committed but little known writer evolving into a figure of international reputation, and his response to such fame. The volume provides detailed introductions which discuss Beckett's situation during the War and his crucial move into the French language, as well as translations of the letters, explanatory notes, year-by-year chronologies, profiles of correspondents and other contextual information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Beckett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.00w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521867948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/30\/2011 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/22\/2012 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeckett, Samuel:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - George Craig, Editor and French Translator, is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Sussex.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCraig, George:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Martha Dow Fehsenfeld, Founding Editor, was authorized by Samuel Beckett to edit his correspondence in 1985.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFehsenfeld, Martha Dow:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Dan Gunn, Editor, is Professor of Comparative Literature and English at The American University of Paris.\u003cbr\u003eEt al...\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40568695586931,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":56.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_15bf0435-471a-47fd-b810-9047031cc022.jpg?v=1668090497","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-letters-of-samuel-beckett-volume-2-1941-1956-9780521867948","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
