«Fin de partie» is the play by Samuel Beckett, published by Les Editions de Minuit in paperback (112 pages, in French).
The play takes place in a closed, oppressive space where Hamm, blind and paralyzed, waits in his armchair while his servant Clov, who can barely walk, attends to him. His parents, Nagg and Nell, live in trash cans. The piece combines sarcasm and tenderness, humor and tragedy, and maintains suspense to the end: will Clov leave or not?
Work originally written in French by the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett and first published in 1957. Nominated for the Obie Award for Best Foreign Play in 1958.
Aimed at readers interested in the theater of the absurd, twentieth-century French literature and the work of Samuel Beckett.
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."
