(Verlagstext) // Samuel Barclay Beckett (* 13. April 1906 in Dublin; 22. Dezember 1989 in Paris) war ein irischer Schriftsteller. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts und wurde 1969 mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur ausgezeichnet. Sein bekanntestes Werk ist "Warten auf Godot" (En attendant Godot), das am 5. Januar 1953 in Paris uraufgeführt wurde. 1953 fing Beckett an, beginnend mit Molloy, seine französisch verfassten Werke ins Englische zu übertragen. Dies brachte ihn dazu, teilweise wieder englisch zu schreiben, wobei er diese Texte anschließend meistens ins Französische übertrug. 1956 konzipierte er, beginnend mit All that fall, für den englischen Radiosender BBC eine Serie von Hörspielen (Radio Plays), eine Gattung, die in Frankreich damals kaum bekannt war und mit der sich Beckett ein für ihn neues Feld erschloss. 1957/58 verfasste er das Prosawerk From an Abandoned Work, 1958 das hörspielartige Stück Krapp's Last Tape (1961 von Marcel Mihalovici in Bielefeld als Oper inszeniert). 1960 schrieb er den französischen Roman Comment c'est und das englische Stück Happy Days (Uraufführung 1961 in New York), das er 1962 als Oh les beaux jours ins Französische übertrug (Uraufführung 1963 in Venedig). 1961 wurde Beckett erstmals mit einem Literaturpreis ausgezeichnet, dem Prix international des éditeurs. 1963 verfasste er neben den Hörspielen Words and Music und Cascando den Einakter Play. Im selben Jahr wurde unter Mitwirkung des Autors das Hörspiel All that fall als Tous ceux qui tombent für das französische Fernsehen adaptiert und gesendet.

Description: Limited edition (issued simultaneously with the first trade edition). Inscribed by Samuel Beckett to his publisher John Calder. One of seventy copies printed on Marais pure linen rag paper, this copy is no. 23. Crown 8vo, pages untrimmed and uncut. Stitch-bound. Original paper wraps lettered and ruled in blue and black to front and rear panels. A fine, unread copy, the binding square and firm, the contents and wraps bright and clean. Housed in a custom folding blue and white cloth box lined with marbled paper, lettered and ruled in gilt to a red leather label affixed to the spine. A lovely association copy. Inscribed by Beckett in blue ink to the front endpaper, "For John / from Sam / Paris Avril / 1966". The recipient, John Calder (1927-2018), the author's friend and his long-standing UK publisher, issued all Beckett's prose from the 1950s until (and after) the author's death in 1989 (the dramatic works were handled by Faber and Faber). 'All That Fall' was written for the BBC Third Programme (it wasn't commissioned, but "suggested"). In a letter to Nancy Cunard (4 July 1956), Beckett writes "Saw Barry of BBC TV who is interested in the mime (and why not?) and am told Gielgud wants a play for 3rd Programme. Never thought about radio play technique but in the dead of t'other night got a nice gruesome idea full of cartwheels and dragging of feet and puffing and panting which may or may not lead to something." The play was finished (in English) by September, the autograph copy ("Ussy September 1956") bearing the title, "Lovely Day for the Races" (a clue to the Irishness of the play). The finished and retitled play, directed by Donald McWhinnie, with Mary O'Farrell and J. G. Devlin as Maddy Rooney and her blind husband, Dan, was broadcast on the Third Programme on Sunday 13 January, 1957. The play, unusually naturalistic for its author, is suffused with memories of and allusions to his Foxrock childhood. First published in the US by Grove Press with the Faber edition following in August, the French translation is credited to Beckett's friend and fellow playwright, Robert Pinget, though Federman and Fletcher note that Beckett (as usual when he wasn't the sole translator) "thoroughly revised the text" before its publication in October 1957. (Federman and Fletcher 146.1). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
