«Molloy» is the novel by Samuel Beckett, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (190 pages, in Catalan).
The novel, originally written in French and published in 1951, is structured in two monologues: that of Molloy, a lame vagabond who wanders through his region in search of his mother, and that of Moran, a detective who is tasked with locating Molloy and sets off with his son. It forms part of the trilogy completed by «Malone Dies» and «The Unnamable».
This Catalan edition, translated by Ramon Lladó, appeared in 1990 in the collection «Les millors obres de la literatura universal segle xx».
For readers interested in twentieth-century experimental fiction and in the work of Samuel Beckett, Nobel Prize in Literature.
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."
