Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Later Printing. Four volumes in Grove softcover edition; tight and clean, two with theatre stamps to front endpaper. ; During the 15 years following the war, Beckett produced four major full-length stage plays: En attendant Godot (written 19481949; Waiting for Godot) , Fin de partie (19551957; Endgame) , Krapp's Last Tape (1958) , and Happy Days (1961). These playswhich are often considered, rightly or wrongly, to have been instrumental in the so-called "Theatre of the Absurd"deal in a darkly humorous way with themes similar to those of the roughly contemporary existentialist thinkers. The term "Theatre of the Absurd" was coined by Martin Esslin in a book of the same name; Beckett and Godot were centrepieces of the book. Esslin argued these plays were the fulfilment of Albert Camus's concept of "the absurd"; this is one reason Beckett is often falsely labelled as an existentialist (this is based on the assumption that Camus was an existentialist, though he in fact broke off from the existentialist movement and founded his own philosophy). Though many of the themes are similar, Beckett had little affinity for existentialism as a whole. (Wikipedia).
