Waiting for Godot

Samuel Beckett

BECKETT, Samuel (1906-1989). Waiting for Godot. A Tragicomedy in Two Acts. London: Faber and Faber, 1956.



Beckett’s most famous work: a presentation copy of the first UK edition. Inscribed copies of this edition are notably rare: we are able to trace just one in auction records. Originally published in France as En attendant Godot in 1952, Waiting for Godot would not only define the Theatre of the Absurd but it would also play a major role in Beckett being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969.



Octavo. With the ‘Publisher’s Note’ slip. Original yellow cloth lettered to spine in red; original photographic dust-jacket priced at 9s. 6d. (trivial rubbing to extremities); custom black quarter morocco box. Provenance: Michael Curtis (authorial inscription on the title, ‘for Michael Curtis Samuel Beckett London June 1979’).
