Book Description:
More Pricks Than Kicks by Samuel Beckett, in a new edition of the classic story collection, published for the first time by Faber with an introduction by Beckett scholar Cassandra Nelson.
About the Author:
Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906 and graduated from Trinity College. He settled in Paris in 1937, after travels in Germany and periods of residence in London and Dublin. He remained in France during the Second World War and was active in the French Resistance. From the spring of 1946 his plays, novels, short fiction, poetry and criticism were largely written in French. With the production of En attendant Godot in Paris in 1953, Beckett's work began to achieve widespread recognition. During his subsequent career as a playwright and novelist in both French and English he redefined the possibilities of prose fiction and writing for the theatre. Samuel Beckett won the Prix Formentor in 1961 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969. He died in Paris in December 1989.

Book Description Original Wraps. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket, as Issued. Second UK Paperback Edition. Second UK paperback edition. Originally published in hardcover in the UK by Chatto & Windus in 1934, and by Calder & Boyars in 1970 in hardcover and paperback editions. ***Near fine in colour-illustrated wrappers.

Front wrapper bright. 196 mm x 130 mm. 173 pages plus three pages of publisher's adverts to rear. ***'This is Beckett's first novel - and is a compulsively readable introduction to his work. The principal character, Belacqua, a student in Dublin explores the joys of melancholy in a wholly original way - whether at his studies, wandering in the country, drinking porter at the pub, seeing his lady love or eating rotten Gorgonzola sandwiches. The book abounds in grim humour and devastating insights. It contains in embryo Beckett's whole extraordinary world.' ***'Can scarcely be matched by another living writer.' [New Statesman] (Quote and review quote from rear wrapper blurb). ***First impression of the second UK paperback edition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 4528
