  • 本書介紹
《等待果陀》愛爾蘭籍的諾貝爾文學獎得主，Samuel Beckett所著的荒謬劇。

講述了弗拉季米爾和愛斯特拉岡二人徒勞地等待果陀的到來。果陀的不在場，以及戲劇的其它方面，都導致了許許多多的猜想和解釋。戲劇被選爲「二十世紀最重要的英語戲劇」。《等待果陀》的英文版是貝克特親自對由原來的法語版翻譯成英語版，並添加了副標題「a Tragicomdy in Two Acts 兩幕悲喜劇」。
「等待果陀」從此成為國際上的習慣用語，形容無可奈何地等待，漫長而毫無意義、並且最終徒勞無獲。

From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, Waiting for Godot has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, “Time catches up with genius … Waiting for Godot is one of the masterpieces of the century.”

The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone—or something—named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett’s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.
