Harold Pinter Samuel Beckett is sui generis...He has given a voice to the decrepit and maimed and inarticulate, men and women at the end of their tether, past pose or pretense, past claim of meaningful existence. He seems to say that only there and then, as metabolism lowers, amid God's paucity, not his plenty, can the core of the human condition be approached...Yet his musical cadences, his wrought and precise sentences, cannot help but stave off the void...Like salamanders we survive in his fire.

    Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Samuel (Barclay) Beckett (1906-1989) Irish novelist and playwright, one of the great names of Absurd Theatre with , although recent study regards Beckett as postmodernist. His plays are concerned with human suffering and survival, and his characters are struggling with meaninglessness and the world of the Nothing. Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. In his writings for the theater Beckett showed influence of burlesque, vaudeville, the music hall, commedia dell'arte, and the silent-film style of such figures as Keaton and Chaplin. "We all are born mad. Some remain so." (from Waiting for Godot James Joyce , taking dictation and copying down parts of what would eventually become Finnegans Wake (1939). He also translated a fragment of the book into French under Joyce's supervision. In 1931 Beckett returned to Dublin and received his M.A. in 1931. He taught French at Trinity College until 1932, when he resigned to devote his time entirely to writing. After his father died, Beckett received an annuity that enabled him to settle in London, where he underwent psychoanalysis (1935-36). As a poet Beckett made his debut in 1930 with WHOROSCOPE, a ninety-eight-line poem accompanied by seventeen footnotes. In this dramatic monologue, the protagonist, Rene Descartes, waits for his morning omelet of well-aged eggs, while meditating on the obscurity of theological mysteries, the passage of time, and the approach of death. It was followed with a collection of essays, PROUST (1931), and novel MORE PRICKS THAN KICKS (1934). From 1933 to 1936 he lived in London. In 1938 he was hospitalized from a stab would he had received from a pimp to whom he had refused to give money.

    Extractions: Samuel Beckett Samuel Beckett was born on Good Friday, April 13, 1906, near Dublin, Ireland. Raised in a middle class, Protestant home, the son of a quantity surveyor and a nurse, he was sent off at the age of 14 to attend the same school which Oscar Wilde had attended. Looking back on his childhood, he once remarked, "I had little talent for happiness." Beckett was consistent in his loneliness. The unhappy boy soon grew into an unhappy young man, often so depressed that he stayed in bed until mid afternoon. He was difficult to engage in any lengthy conversationit took hours and lots of drinks to warm him upbut the women could not resist him. The lonely young poet, however, would not allow anyone to penetrate his solitude. He once remarked, after rejecting advances from James Joyce's daughter, that he was dead and had no feelings that were human. In 1928, Samuel Beckett moved to Paris, and the city quickly won his heart. Shortly after he arrived, a mutual friend introduced him to James Joyce, and Beckett quickly became an apostle of the older writer. At the age of 23, he wrote an essay in defense of Joyce's magnum opus against the public's lazy demand for easy comprehensibility. A year later, he won his first literary prize10 pounds for a poem entitled "Whoroscope" which dealt with the philosopher Descartes meditating on the subject of time and the transiency of life. After writing a study of Proust, however, Beckett came to the conclusion that habit and routine were the "cancer of time", so he gave up his post at Trinity College and set out on a nomadic journey across Europe.

Its language, said one critic, made it seem as if previous French plays "had been written with quills, not pens"; its plot, said another, was one in which "nothing happens twice." It became the most written-about play of the century, prompting Beckett to say, "Why people have to complicate a thing so simple I can't make out." Beckett and Endgame in London

27. SAMUEL BECKET  - BIOGRAFIA
    Biografia ragionata.  
    http://www.cronologia.it/storia/biografie/becket.htm
    
    Extractions: PERSONAGGI SAMUEL BECKET di Maria Viteritti Samuel Beckett nasce il 13 aprile 1906 in Irlanda, a Foxrock, un piccolo centro vicino a Dublino, dove trascorre un'infanzia tranquilla, non segnata da eventi particolari. All'età di 14 anni frequenta la stessa scuola di Oscar Wilde, la Port Royal School. Nonostante eccella in moltissime attività (soprattutto sportive, ma è anche già interessato alla letteratura, infatti comincia a studiare Dante con profondo interesse), Beckett coltiva già da ragazzo i segni di un profondo malessere interiore di cui porterà i segni tutta la vita: cresce nella più totale solitudine, isolandosi completamente da chi lo circonda; lo stato di depressione in cui vive è tale da costringerlo a letto giornate intere: spesso infatti non riesce ad alzarsi fino a pomeriggio inoltrato, tanto è pesante da sopportare la realtà che lo circonda. Nonostante ciò, non sono poche le donne disposte a cascare ai suoi piedi; fra le ammiratrici vanterà anche la figlia di James Joyce; però non accetta le avances di nessuna, ancora fermo nell'idea di non legarsi a nessuno. Arriverà addirittura a rompere con la sua prima ragazza perchè non disposto a soddisfarla fisicamente!... La prima svolta importante avviene nel 1928, quando decide di spostarsi a Parigi in seguito all'assegnazione di una borsa di studio da parte del Trinity College, dove studia francese e italiano.

    Extractions: UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES El Autor de la Semana Samuel Beckett Poeta, novelista y destacado dramaturgo del teatro del absurdo. De origen irlandés, en 1969 fue galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Beckett nació el 13 de abril de 1906, en Foxrock, cerca de Dublín. Tras asistir a una escuela protestante de clase media en el norte de Irlanda, ingresó en el Trinity College de Dublín, donde obtuvo la licenciatura en lenguas romances en 1927 y el doctorado en 1931. Entretanto pasó dos años como profesor en París. Al mismo tiempo continuó estudiando al filósofo francés René Descartes y escribió su ensayo crítico Proust (1931), que sentaría las bases filosóficas de su vida y su obra. Fue entonces cuando conoció al novelista y poeta irlandés James Joyce. Entre 1932 y 1937 escribió y viajó sin descanso y desempeñó diversos trabajos para incrementar los ingresos de la pensión anual que le ofrecía su padre, cuya muerte en 1933 le supuso un duro golpe. En 1937 se estableció definitivamente en París, pero en 1942, tras adherirse a la Resistencia, tuvo que huir de la Gestapo, la policía secreta nazi. En el sur de Francia, libre de la ocupación alemana, Beckett escribió la novela Watt (que no se publicó hasta 1953).

Educated in Ireland, North and South, he settled afterwards in Paris and produced his fiction and drama in English and French, translating himself out of the language in which he first wrote each text. Having begun literary life as a modernist and promoter of the reputations of Proust and Joyce, in the years before and after the Second World War he found his own voice (“began to write what I feel”) and continued to develop this voice unstintingly and without compromise until the year of his death. According to some sources, while he grew mellower in later life, and his personal relationships grew more stable, his alcohol intake did not. Notoriously reclusive in relation to the press and media, Beckett was nevertheless spoken of by personal associates as friendly, gracious, humorous and compassionate, and while his travels to Ireland abruptly ended following his mother's death, he was conspicuously hospitable to his Irish friends at all times when they came to Paris.

    Extractions: from Waiting for Godot The Irish-born playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett , b. Dublin, Apr. 13, 1906, d. Dec. 22, 1989, is best known for the absurdist drama Waiting for Godot (1952; Eng. trans., 1954). First performed in Paris on Jan. 5, 1953, the play received worldwide acclaim and became the first of a series of critical successes, some of them written earlier. Life Beckett came from a Protestant Anglo-Irish family, but much of his work was first written in French. After graduating with a degree in Romance languages from Trinity College, Dublin, Beckett spent two years (1928-30) in Paris as an exchange lecturer. Here he met James Joyce and became a member of his circle. In 1930, Beckett returned to Trinity as a lecturer. The academic life did not agree with him, however, and he left after only four terms to become a free-lance writer. He traveled in Europe and England, settling finally in Paris, his intermittent home since 1937. Writings Beckett's entire literary output, the narrative prose as well as the dramatic works, reduces basic existential problems to their most essential features. Thus his concerns are fundamental, but never simplisticthe evanescence of life; time and eternity; the individual's sense of loneliness and alienation as a result of the impossibility of establishing genuine communication and contact with others; the mystery of self.
