from Waiting for Godot The Irish-born playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett , b. Dublin, Apr. 13, 1906, d. Dec. 22, 1989, is best known for the absurdist drama Waiting for Godot (1952; Eng. trans., 1954). First performed in Paris on Jan. 5, 1953, the play received worldwide acclaim and became the first of a series of critical successes, some of them written earlier. Life Beckett came from a Protestant Anglo-Irish family, but much of his work was first written in French. After graduating with a degree in Romance languages from Trinity College, Dublin, Beckett spent two years (1928-30) in Paris as an exchange lecturer. Here he met James Joyce and became a member of his circle. In 1930, Beckett returned to Trinity as a lecturer. The academic life did not agree with him, however, and he left after only four terms to become a free-lance writer. He traveled in Europe and England, settling finally in Paris, his intermittent home since 1937. Writings Beckett's entire literary output, the narrative prose as well as the dramatic works, reduces basic existential problems to their most essential features. Thus his concerns are fundamental, but never simplisticthe evanescence of life; time and eternity; the individual's sense of loneliness and alienation as a result of the impossibility of establishing genuine communication and contact with others; the mystery of self.

4. Ist Nicht Morton Beckett...Samuel Feldman...? Von Hans-Peter Jahn

Ist nicht Morton Beckett...Samuel Feldman...?
eine Annäherung an eine Mutmaßung von Hans-Peter Jahn
Mit einer gewissen Sturheit will die Musikologie noch immer Samuel Becketts Einzigartigkeit aufgehoben und resonierend in der Musik Morton Feldmans verstanden wissen. Die Indizien dafür sind bekannt, fast abgestanden wie unbewegliches Gewässer, lachend vor sich hinstinkend. Feldmans Musik sei, ohne etwas zu sein. Eine Musik ohne Anfang und Ende, absichtslos, verstrickt in die eigenen Strickmuster, ins Gewebe der irrationalen, sich minutiös wandelnden Tonhöhen und Rhythmen. Eine Musik, deren Bewegungslosigkeit in stetiger Bewegung aufgelöst scheint, die zur Statik verdonnert ist, ohne zu lärmen und dennoch durchzuckt zu sein von Blitzen.
Feldmans Musik hingegen ganz in der Nichttradition amerikanisch. Sie verbaut in der Stille mit Stille der Zeit ihre Attraktivität und sucht darin der "Langeweile" ein Domizil. Bei aller gründlichen Untersuchung solcherart relativer Oberflächlichkeiten im Werk Morton Feldmans bleibt eines außer acht, vielleicht das Wesentliche seiner Musik ... nämlich ihre Wirkung auf den einzelnen. Kaum je eine andere Musik kann so wenig kollektiv gehört, geschweige denn beurteilt werden. Der Hörer ist in ihr allein, ihr ausgeliefert, manches Mal sogar der eigenen Peinlichkeit, wenn bei besonders langen Stücken die Geduld reißt und die Ermüdung durch die Reihen der restlichen Versenkten störend wankt. Antipathie der Musik Feldmans gegenüber provoziert bei anderen - auch bei seinen Gegnern - sofort Sympathie. Das ist bei ihm wie ein Naturgesetz. Wer auf diese Musik schimpft, hat nicht nur Gegner, sondern stigmatisiert sich in seinem intellektuell-musikalischen Anspruch.

SAMUEL BECKETT
AUTHOR Beckett was born in Foxrock, Dublin. He would later insist that he was born on Good Friday,13 April 1906, although his birth certficate puts the date a month later. The Becketts were of French Huguenot descent and, after a distinguished career at Trinity College, Dublin, he was to spend much of his life in France. His cricketing prowess earned him a mention in Wisden (the only Nobel Prize winner there), while he topped his year in modern languages. In 1928, he was appointed to an exchange lectureship in Paris, where he met and helped James Joyce before returning to TCD in 1930. A critical study of Marcel Proust (1931) pointed to an academic career, but Beckett chose to become a full-time writer. He travelled widely, living rather precariously, before settling in Montparnasse in Paris in 1937. His comic novel Murphy was published in 1938. He also met Suzanne Dumesnil, when she helped him to hospital after a street stabbing; they were to marry in 1961. Beckett was in Dublin at the outbreak of World War II, but 'preferred France at war to Ireland at peace'. He worked for the French Resistance, narrowly escaped the Gestapo, then moved to unoccupied France, where he wrote his novel

Isn t Morton beckett samuel Feldman ? Morton Beckett and Samuel Feldman would certainly have felt at ease with this paradox.

[Morton Feldman Page] [List of Texts]
Isn't Morton Beckett...Samuel Feldman...?
A tentative assumption by Hans-Peter Jahn
It is with a certain degree of stubbornness that musicology insists that Samuel Beckett's uniqueness is not so unique after all but reflected in the music of Morton Feldman. The evidence is well known, stagnant almost like a pond, laughing and stinking, Feldman's music, it is alleged, is without being anything. A music without beginning or end, without intention, tied up in its own textures and patterns, in the tissue of irrational, minutely changing pitches and rhythms. A music whose immobility seems to be dissolved in constant movement, which is doomed to stasis without raging and yet seems to be shot through with flashes of lightning.
It is quite right, it is argued, that the esoteric gleam of this music surrenders itself to a circle of exegetes - just as the contrary is true as well: wildly gesticulating know-alls whose enmity Feldman in his life countered with thundering laughter and the mise-en-scène of his rather effective arrogance. He knew little and cared less about Europe's attitudes to music; and so he poured his undifferentiated and sometimes denigrating contempt on all compositions created in the countries of that continent, thus becoming a vulnerable attacker who attracted sympathy and antipathy alike. Perhaps his own übervater John Cage was too great a human being for Feldman to permit him to try and embody greatness in Europe all over again. Feldman had to lash out whenever he met European musical tradition. And there's something else. The installation of silence made him a saint, a wanderer in the desert. Whoever followed him on bare feet burned his soles in the permanent silence that Feldman - inspired by Webern - claimed for himself. This was his considerable misunderstanding - and that of his many apologists. Webern's silence was derived from the dialectics of contrast. It holds its own because its environment is almost always throbbing with brief

El Sentido profundo de toda la obra literaria de Samuel Beckett, el Premio Nobel de Literatura de 1969, lo resume Pozzo en las últimas palabras que pronuncia en Esperando a Godot, antes de hacer mutis con Lucky en el segundo acto de la pieza: «Ellas paren a horcajadas sobre una tumba, la luz brilla un instante; luego, otra vez la noche.» La frase impresiona sin duda a Vladimiro, siempre metafísico, ya que la está rumiando un buen rato, mientras observa los tejemanejes inútiles de Estragón con las botas y contempla el sueño de su amigo, y no puede por menos de añadir una apostilla: «A horcajadas sobre una tumba y un parto difícil. Desde el fondo del agujero, ensoñadoramente, el sepulturero aplica los fórceps. Hay tiempo para envejecer. El aire está lleno de nuestros gritos.» Hace solo unos años, Samuel Beckett mismo dio forma teatral al resumen de Pozzo en un drama sin palabras ni actores

The friend: "Yes, it makes one glad to be alive."
Beckett: "Aw now, I wouldn't go that far.."
About Samuel Beckett Samuel Beckett was born near Dublin, Ireland, on April 13, 1906 into a Protestant, middle class home. His father was a quantity surveyor and his mother worked as a nurse. At the age of 14 he was sent to the same school that Oscar Wilde attended. Beckett is known to have commented, "I had little talent for happiness." This was evidenced by his frequent bouts of depression, even as a young man. He often stayed in bed until late in the afternoon and hated long conversations. As a young poet he apparently rejected the advances of James Joyce's daughter and then commented that he did not have feelings that were human. This sense of depression would show up in much of his writing, especially in Waiting for Godot where it is a struggle to get through life.

The farther he goes the more good it does me. I don't want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the shit the more I am grateful to him. He's not f-ing me about, he's not leading me up any garden path, he's not slipping me a wink, he's not flogging me a remedy or a path or a revelation or a basinful of breadcrumbs, he's not selling me anything I don't want to buy — he doesn't give a bollock whether I buy or not — he hasn't got his hand over his heart. Well, I'll buy his goods, hook, line and sinker, because he leaves no stone unturned and no maggot lonely. He brings forth a body of beauty.
His work is beautiful.
Harold Pinter
Samuel Beckett is sui generis...He has given a voice to the decrepit and maimed and inarticulate, men and women at the end of their tether, past pose or pretense, past claim of meaningful existence. He seems to say that only there and then, as metabolism lowers, amid God's paucity, not his plenty, can the core of the human condition be approached...Yet his musical cadences, his wrought and precise sentences, cannot help but stave off the void...Like salamanders we survive in his fire.

Life.
Samuel Beckett was born in a suburb of Dublin. Like his fellow Irish writers George Bernard Shaw , Oscar Wilde, and William Butler Yeats , he came from a Protestant, Anglo-Irish background. At the age of 14 he went to the Portora Royal School, in what became Northern Ireland, a school that catered to the Anglo-Irish middle classes. Ulysses, and joined his circle. Contrary to often-repeated reports, however, he never served as Joyce's secretary. He returned to Ireland in 1930 to take up a post as lecturer in French at Trinity College, but after only four terms he resigned, in December 1931, and embarked upon a period of restless travel in London, France, Germany, and Italy. In 1937 Beckett decided to settle in Paris. As a citizen of a country that was neutral in World War II, he was able to remain there even after the occupation of Paris by the Germans, but he joined an underground resistance group in 1941. When, in 1942, he received news that members of his group had been arrested by the Gestapo, he immediately went into hiding and eventually moved to the unoccupied zone of France. Until the liberation

SCHED A
PERSONAGGI SAMUEL BECKET
di Maria Viteritti Samuel Beckett nasce il 13 aprile 1906 in Irlanda, a Foxrock, un piccolo centro vicino a Dublino, dove trascorre un'infanzia tranquilla, non segnata da eventi particolari. All'età di 14 anni frequenta la stessa scuola di Oscar Wilde, la Port Royal School. Nonostante eccella in moltissime attività (soprattutto sportive, ma è anche già interessato alla letteratura, infatti comincia a studiare Dante con profondo interesse), Beckett coltiva già da ragazzo i segni di un profondo malessere interiore di cui porterà i segni tutta la vita: cresce nella più totale solitudine, isolandosi completamente da chi lo circonda; lo stato di depressione in cui vive è tale da costringerlo a letto giornate intere: spesso infatti non riesce ad alzarsi fino a pomeriggio inoltrato, tanto è pesante da sopportare la realtà che lo circonda. Nonostante ciò, non sono poche le donne disposte a cascare ai suoi piedi; fra le ammiratrici vanterà anche la figlia di James Joyce; però non accetta le avances di nessuna, ancora fermo nell'idea di non legarsi a nessuno. Arriverà addirittura a rompere con la sua prima ragazza perchè non disposto a soddisfarla fisicamente!... La prima svolta importante avviene nel 1928, quando decide di spostarsi a Parigi in seguito all'assegnazione di una borsa di studio da parte del Trinity College, dove studia francese e italiano.
Il trasferimento ha subito effetti positivi: non passa molto tempo perchè il ragazzo definisca "casa" la città. Inoltre comincia a interessarsi attivamente alla letteratura: frequenta i circoli letterari parigini dove conosce James Joyce, che gli fa da maestro.
