19525980Paris: Les Editions de Minuit 1952. First edition. Near Fine. A Near Fine copy of the first trade edition following the 35 signed copies. A fragile softcover book uncommon in this condition. Spine slightly toned and a crease running the length slight nicks at the spine ends and a small stain on the rear wrapper. Pages a bit toned as usual otherwise an excellent copy internally. <br /> <br /> Beckett's hugely influential tragicomedy is one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century theater. Beckett had originally written the play in French between the fall and winter of 1948-1949 but would not translate the play into English until its London premier in 1955. In fact this edition of the play - the Minuit edition - was released in 1952 before the play's first performance the next year. Beckett was thought to have been inspired to write the work after viewing Caspar David Friedrich's painting "Mann und Frau den Mond betrachtend" Man and Woman observing the Moon.<br /> <br /> "It arrives at the custom house as it were with no luggage no passport and nothing to declare: yet it gets through as might a pilgrim from Mars. It does this I believe by appealing to a definition of drama much more fundamental than any in the books. A play it asserts and proves is basically a means of spending two hours in the dark without being bored" Contemporary Observer review from the famed drama critic Kenneth Tynan. Near Fine.
