Synopsis:

These four stories were originally written in French in 1946, to be translated by Beckett and appear in English from 1954 to 1973. Beckett spoke of the teller of these tales as a deadbeat, but the long-suffering man is down on more than his luck, and in his way he triumphs over his privations.

At once tragedy and comedy, these masterpieces of economy and of poverty inaugurated a new phase of Beckett’s genius, while he continued to pursue things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme.
