| Zusammenfassung: | "In February 1989 Samuel Beckett gave James Knowlson, a friend for more than twenty years, full authorization to write his biography. He stipulated that the book was not to appear in his lifetime, writing to Knowlson: 'it will give you more freedom'." "Knowlson recreates Beckett's life in Ireland until his entry into Trinity College Dublin in 1923 and from there to the continent, where Beckett plunged into the multicultural literary society of Paris in the late 1920s. He throws new light on Beckett's stormy relationship with his mother, the psychotherapy he received after the death of his father and his crucial relationship with James Joyce. There is exciting new material on Beckett's six-month visit to Germany as the Nazis tightened their grip." "A wealth of previously unpublished material on Beckett's personal life after he chose to live in France includes his own account of his work for a Resistance cell during the war, his escape from the Gestapo and his retreat into hiding." "In this remarkable, scrupulously researched and engagingly written account, Beckett comes over as complex and intellectual, but also as witty and extraordinary resilient: a compassionate man, who was much loved and devoted to friendship and whose common response to the pricks of adversity was often a humorous kick." "Obsessively private, Beckett was wholly committed to the work which eventually brought him public fame, beginning with the controversial success of Waiting for Godot in 1953, and culminating in the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969."--BOOK JACKET. |
