Samuel Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969; his literary output of plays, novels, stories, and poetry has earned him an uncontested place as one of the greatest writers of our time. Endgame, originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett himself, is now considered by many critics to be his greatest single work. A pinnacle of Beckett's characteristic raw minimalism, it is a pure and devastating distillation of the human essence in the face of approaching death.

Beckett is a crafter of words and sentences

Well... I have to say it: some of these lines are among the most difficult I ever read in the English language. And I cannot say that I understood the works fully. But then again, I don't suppose all of Beckett's lines are understandable, specifically to a layman like me.
