«En attendant Godot» is Anne-Gaëlle Robineau-Weber's analysis guide to Samuel Beckett's play (Hatier, paperback, 127 pp., French).
This is not the work itself but a guide for its analysis: it includes a summary and reading keys, and addresses questions such as who Godot is, the problematic structure, the tragedy of waiting, and the renewal of dramatic language. It closes with three analytical readings of passages from acts I and II.
The book is part of Hatier's Profil d'une œuvre collection, number 16, in its 2002 edition; its analysis focuses on Beckett's original work.
Useful for students of French literature and readers preparing exams or essays on En attendant Godot.
Samuel Barclay Beckett was an Irish novelist, playwright, poet, and literary critic. Writing in both English and French, his literary and theatrical works feature bleak, impersonal, and tragicomic episodes of life, coupled with black comedy and literary nonsense. Beckett is widely regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century, credited with transforming modern theatre. As a major figure of Irish literature, he is best known for his tragicomedy play Waiting for Godot (1953). For his foundational contribution to both literature and theatre, Beckett received the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his writing, which—in new forms for the novel and drama—in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation."
