«Los días felices» is the play by Samuel Beckett published by Cátedra in paperback, in a bilingual edition (232 pages).
In «Los días felices», Winnie, half-buried in a mound and exposed to blinding light, clings to her daily gestures to find reasons, however small, to consider her days happy. Beckett turns this extreme situation into a reflection on endurance, routine and the human condition, with his corrosive humor.
Bilingual edition by Antonia Rodríguez Gago, volume 117 of Letras Universales. «Los días felices», originally published as «Happy Days», won the Obie Award for best foreign play in 1962.
For readers of contemporary theater and Irish literature, and for those who prefer bilingual editions of classics.
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."
