198983344Paris: Les Editions de Minuit 1989. Fine. Les Editions de Minuit Paris 1989 10 x 18 cm broché First edition on ordinary paper. Signed autograph inscription from Samuel Beckett to his long-time friend Josette Hayden wife of the cubist then realist painter of Polish origin Henri Hayden. The numerous exchanges between the latter and Beckett inspired the dialogues of Estragon and Vladimir in Waiting for Godot. The Hayden couple spent twenty years with the writer settled ""in his small pavilion in Ussy near La Ferté-sous-Jouarre this lair this cave where solitary he went to seek the root of words in the abysses of life so close to death. It is there that he forged the greater part of his masterful work."" Christian de Bartillat Deux amis Beckett et Hayden. Beckett had met the Haydens in 1943 when all three had taken refuge in Roussillon escaping the Gestapo. Their shared passion for chess and painting brought them together: ""There are wonderful days. Here and there a dinner with the Haydens. Played chess once. Looking crucified for twenty moves before making an error that resulted in a draw."" Bartillat p. 95. Beckett helped make Hayden's work known after the war notably by helping to organize exhibitions of his works in Victor Waddington's London gallery. After the immense success of Waiting for Godot Beckett bought a country house in 1953 in Ussy-sur-Marne in the hamlet of Molien. There he found the calm and serenity conducive to writing and saw the Haydens almost daily who lived not far away in Reuil-en-Brie. It was in the heart of this ""land neither too green nor too flat"" Beckett wrote to a friend in 1954 that this fraternal and creative friendship flourished punctuated by games of chess. After Henri Hayden's death in 1970 which greatly affected the writer Josette remained a central figure in Beckett's life and work. She helped him record his ideas for future works - several of the writer's notebooks contain passages written in her hand. She also contributed to the writer's biography by sharing her intimate memories and anecdotes published in Deux amis Beckett et Hayden by Christian de Bartillat. Exceptional inscription to a close friend who spent time with Beckett for nearly half a century. Josette Hayden was one of the rare intimates of his reclusive life on the banks of the Marne contributed to the genesis of several of his writings and worked to preserve his memory. Beckett's correspondence addressed to the Hayden couple is preserved at Trinity College Dublin. Les Editions de Minuit unknown

The book and jacket are in very good condition little shelf rubbing apparent jacket has been wrapped by a previous owner with mylar for preservation purposes. The text inside appears clean and clear throughout. 'Written and published in French in 1951 and in Samuel Beckett's English translation in 1956 Malone Dies is the second of his immediate post-war novels written during what Beckett later referred to as 'the siege in the room'. 'Malone' writes Malone 'is what I am called now.' On his deathbed whittling away the time with stories and revisions of stories the octogenarian Malone's account of his condition is contradictory and intermittent shifting with the vagaries of the passing days: without mellowness without elegiacs; wittier jauntier and capable of darker rages than his precursor Molloy. Malone promises silence but as a storyteller he delivers irresistibly more.' 120 pages. 5.4 x 8.25 inches. May require additional postage. This listing was made by a small independent book shop.

74007E-371. Very Good. Trade PB. 12mo. Published by Les Editions de Minuit Paris France. 1951. 217 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Wrappers lightly worn with some light shelf-wear to the extremities present. Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Malone Dies is the first person monologue of Malone an old man lying in bed and waiting to die. The tone is fiercely ironic highly quotable and because of its extravagance also very comic. It catches the reality of old age in a way that is grimly convincing cruel as humor so often is and memorable because of Beckett's way with words. A master dramatist Beckett's novels can be even more effective when heard and especially when read by such a Beckett specialist as Sean Barrett. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . unknown
