Beckett and Germany
Angebote / Angebote:
German culture intensely influenced the work of Samuel Beckett. This book assesses the author's relationship with German literature, art, and philosophy and recounts the country's reception of his work. A lover of German literature and aspiring art critic, Beckett traveled across Germany during an extremely tumultuous and dangerous time. This volume presents a complete chronology of this journey, which lasted from 1936 to 1937, and describes Beckett's attitudes toward German Romanticism from both a literary and philosophical perspective. As to the German reception of Beckett's work, Theodor W. Adorno's "Versuch, das Endspiel zu verstehen" played a central role. This volume translates and interprets Adorno's notes on "Fin de partie" and "L'Innommable, " which comments on the direction of Beckett's "Endspiel" and his relationship with the television and radio station S?ddeutscher Rundfunk (SDR). In conclusion, the collection offers a review of recent German publications on Beckett.
