 Endgame
(Fin
de partie)
|
It shows Beckett's philosophy and
is very entertaining.
/Hal Golson, 16, United States
This is one of the most important
dramatic writings ever created. I have directed a production of
it on stage. I have never been so mesmerized or impressed by an
author like I have been with Samuel Beckett. Great play. Powerful
and apocalyptic. Read this play.

First
Love
(Premier amour) |
I consider myself lucky because
I have read almost all of the prize winner's books. It is extremely
difficult to choose, so I do not choose. I just remember the story
about this love that means the world to all and each one of us
...

Molloy |
Samuel Beckett's book elucidates a beautiful potrayal of the absurd, in the absurd where life seems void, painfully empty. Reading the book, I was revealed of the infallibility of existence. His writing style is revolutionary.

Das Glasperlenspiel
Linje:
Stories and Texts for Nothing
(Nouvelles et Textes pour rien) |
These 'shorts' experiment with character and language like no other work. Beckett is a language-smith and he uses that skill to explore the condition of modern humanity.

The Unnamable
(L'innommable) |
For the beauty of the prose and the way it exemplifies the tragedy and nobility of mankind: "I can't go on, I'll go on".

Waiting for Godot
(En attendant Godot) |
Simply mind blowing.
/Alex, 18, United States
Waiting for Godot - bringing absurdism to an extreme: where nothing happens, but so much is implied ... and nobody can know for certain what exactly is being implied. A truly genius piece of work.
/Sabeena Tsan, 18, New Zealand
Because they talk about their lives. To have lived is not enough for them. They have to talk about it. To be dead is not enough for them. It is not sufficient. And all in final they are waiting for Godot. I liked it also because eloquence of characters like Lucky, Vladimir and Poszu. Hey Lucky what are you doing? I am waiting. What are you waiting for? I think I am waiting for Godot. Godot! What's that? I do not know. I think what Samuel is trying to say here is that man is truly independent only in his mind and no man should waste his time and capacity in order to control the world. Where you are worth nothing you should want nothing. I think we have become too wise to see the world that is illusionary. I found that we all are also waiting for Godot. That is the master work of Samuel Beckett.

'Waiting for Godot' by Samuel Beckett
is an extraordinary book and writing! I loved it, it is so philosophical
and theological, but it was a challenging & confusing read, but
it was well worth it. Beckett is a GREAT author, I recommend it
totally to anyone! Especially if you like books that are plays
in them or character monologues ... such a symbolic novel, there's
so much that any person can take out of it.
/Abbey, 18, United States
It's great! I really liked this playwright because it speaks about eternal human problems: the sense of life and death.
/Bertrand, 17, Belgium
It compromises the hectic of everyday life.
