Description
Samuel Beckett (1906–1989) is one of the best-known representatives of twentieth-century avant-garde literature, a Nobel Prize laureate in 1969. In terms of word density, he is compared to Joyce; in terms of his ability to show the futility and hopelessness of human existence, he is compared to Kafka.
Samuel Beckett’s work is an astonishing combination of rational irrationality and creative freedom, restrained by a powerful, sober mind. These are the questions that worry the writer: how can a person cope with the realization that he has been thrown into this world without his consent, and what is the deep nature of our “self.”
At first glance, the characters in the novel “Murphy” appear to be idle moral monstrosities, yet in essence they are ordinary people like those we meet every day. Beckett only deliberately pushes their motives and impulses to the absurd, which are not alien to anyone of us, while skillfully focusing attention on certain aspects of personality. As in his other novels, here high tragedy unexpectedly turns into farce, drawing you in with amusing situations and surprising twists…
