Condition: Very Good

Description: 60pp., card covers. Very good condition with just a touch of wear and very slight fading to the front cover. A previous owner's pencil annotations appear throughout. One of Beckett's best-known and important works in what I believe is its first paperback edition. Translated by the author from the original French. 'Endgame' was first performed in 1957, so this edition was published the following year. This edition also contains a 'transcript' of the mime that followed 'Endgame' called 'Act Without Words'. One for Beckett fans! UK postage for this item will be £1.25.

Samuel Beckett (Translated from the original French by the author). ENDGAME - A Play in one Act followed by ACT WITHOUT WORDS A Mime for one Player (First UK edition - first impression). Faber and Faber, 24, Russell Square, London WC1, 1958.

Price: US$162.52 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: First impression of the first UK edition, published in 1958, preceded by Beckett's original French version "Fin de Partie suivi de Acte sans paroles" published by Les Éditions de Minuit, Paris in 1957, and an American edition published by Grove Press, New York in 1957. ***The UK edition was the first trade edition in hardcover, as the US edition was published as an Evergreen paperback (with a signed limited edition only in hardcover). ***Near fine in rust-red cloth-covered boards with light-blue titles to the spine. The cloth is beautifully clean and unmarked, having been protected by the dustwrapper. No significant creases or bumps. Corners sharp. The edges of the page block are slightly foxed. Very slight reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally, the book is also near fine, with a neat ownership name 'John Levitt' in ink on the front free endpaper (John Levitt was a 1960s TV actor who appeared in "Chips With Everything".) The interior pages are really clean, with no foxing. There are some neat pencil lines and annotations in the margins of a few pages (but these could be rubbed out if so wished). None of the usual offsetting to the endpapers. No creases or tears. ***In a very good monochrome-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 10s 6d net on the front flap. The dustwrapper is only slightly rubbed and scuffed at the extremities, mainly at the top and tail of the spine, but there are also two closed tears to the bottom edge of the front panel, one of which has some associated scuffing and creasing (please see scans). The original owner, presumably John Levitt, has written 'Stand 39' in ink on the front flap of the dustwrapper. The spine of the dustwrapper is clean, with just a couple of small surface scuffs. The back panel of the dustwrapper is slightly foxed and marked (being a white background) and has a small scuff patch near the spine. Dustwrapper otherwise bright. ***205mm x 140mm. 60 pages. ***'"Endgame" is an absurdist, tragicomic one-act play about a blind, paralyzed, domineering elderly man, his geriatric parents and his doddering, dithering, harried, servile companion in an abandoned house in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, who mention they are awaiting some unspecified "end" which seems to be the end of their relationship, death, and the end of the actual play itself. Much of the play's content consists of terse, back and forth dialogue between the characters reminiscent of bantering, along with trivial stage actions; the plot is held together by the development of a grotesque story-within-a-story that the character Hamm is relating. An aesthetically profound part of the play is the way the story-within-story and the actual play come to an end at roughly the same time. The play's title refers to chess and frames the characters as acting out a losing battle with each other or their fate. Originally written in French (entitled Fin de partie), the play was translated into English by Beckett himself and was first performed on April 3, 1957 at the Royal Court Theatre in London in a French-language production. Written before but premiering after "Waiting for Godot", it is arguably among Beckett's best works.' (Wiki) ***'Of Mr. Beckett's unique, original and sometimes terrifying vision, of his brilliant sense of theatre, of his verbal mastery, it is perhaps the most shattering example yet.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first impression of the first UK edition, complete in its original dustwrapper, in very good to near fine condition, albeit with a slightly torn dustwrapper. Uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
