Written by an outstanding scholar and critic who was one of the first to recognize Beckett's genius, this classic study of the novelist and playwright Samuel Beckett has been praised for its refreshingly personal approach and its many new insights. A personal approach is blended skillfully with a persuasive dialectical discussion of the complex paradoxes in Beckett's writings—gentleman/tramp, intellect/emotion, Ireland/the World, eye/ear, artist/philosopher, man/woman.

Product Description: "The objective of this transnational, transdisciplinary study was not to predict the future. Much less was it to determine which culture has the best legal, public policy, and ethical systems.
