About This Item
New York: Grove Press, 1954. First English language edition. 61 pp. Black cloth boards, lettered in blind, silver and copper, with the dust jacket. Jacket spine a bit browned, as usually seen, with some very slight edgewear to the top edge and lower spine edge; book is close to fine. An excellent copy, far better than usual. The original French language edition was published two years prior; the Faber edition was published two years later.
Synopsis
Beckett's existentialist play portrays two men who are trapped in endless waiting for the arrival of someone named Godot. They spend their time bantering and conjecturing and trying to anticipate the time and method of arrival. "Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful?"
