Résumé :
|
'The prospect of reading Beckett's letters quickens the blood like none other's, and one must hope to stay alive until the fourth volume is safely delivered.' Tom Stoppard 'Knowing as we do that Samuel Beckett is the only writer who can sum up the agonies and ecstasies of the twentieth century, if we had any doubts as to his relevance today, they would be dispelled by the amazing treasure trove contained in his letters - at last we are made privy to the full range of his passion for art and beauty, which is neither naive nor sentimental, to the pyrotechnics of his savage wit, and more lastingly perhaps, to his deep humanity.' Jean-Michel Rabate, Vartan Gregorian Professor in the Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania
